      Pattern Focus

      Sub-patterns

      Choose a family that matches the strategy you want to practice.

      Instructions

      1. Pick a focus area such as Visual, Letters & Symbols, Numbers, or Number Series, then choose a pack inside that category.
      2. Select Warm-Up, Core, or Challenge difficulty to set how tricky the rules will be.
      3. Press Play Pattern. Nine items appear with one blank near the end.
      4. Study the rule, then tap the answer bank tile that completes the blank. Wrong picks wiggle and stay on screen so you can rethink.
      5. Need help? After two misses the game offers a short hint. Finish a pattern to jump right into the next puzzle.

      Learning Notes

      Pattern Picker trains your eyes and brain to talk to each other.

      • Say the rule out loud before you tap (“+2, +2, +4, repeat” or “red triangle, blue circle, repeat”).
      • Switch categories to see how the same idea works with shapes, letters, emojis, and numbers.
      • Create your own pattern cards after each win and challenge a friend to solve them.
