What is a Magic Square?
A magic square is a grid of numbers where every row, column, and diagonal adds up to the same number (called the "magic sum").
Goal
Complete the magic square by dragging the remaining numbers from the number bank to the empty cells so that:
- Each row adds up to the magic sum
- Each column adds up to the magic sum
- Both diagonals add up to the magic sum

How to Play
- Drag and drop numbers from the number bank to the empty cells on the grid.

- You can move a number back to the bank by dragging it or double-clicking it.
- Complete the grid so all rows, columns, and diagonals add up to the magic sum.
Difficulty Levels
- Easy: More pre-filled squares, including strategic positions like corners and center.
- Medium: Balanced number of pre-filled squares with moderate challenge.
- Hard: Fewer pre-filled squares and avoids corners, creating more challenging puzzles.
