Practice with a purpose
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Use the example to check your reasoning.
The goal to keep in mind

Making your moves
- Start a round and watch the highlighted cells.
- Wait until the board hides the pattern.
- Select the positions you remember; order does not matter.
- Complete the pattern to advance.
Choosing and moving on screen
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Look at the feedback after the action.
See how the rules apply
If the four corner squares were shown, select those four corners in any order. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Notice the change in the playing area.
Keep this in mind
Unlike Sequence Memory, this game does not require the original order. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
