Pattern Matrix

Find the missing figure — every row of the grid follows the same hidden rules.

Interactive lesson1 / 4
Rule 01

Every row follows the same rules.

Each puzzle is a 3×3 grid of figures. Shape, count, fill, size and direction each follow one hidden rule, the same in every row.

All rules
Rule 01Every row follows the same rules.

Each puzzle is a 3×3 grid of figures. Shape, count, fill, size and direction each follow one hidden rule, the same in every row.

Rule 02A rule stays, steps or cycles.

Along a row a value stays the same, steps up or down one at a time — a corner more, a quarter turn — or the row holds the same three values as the others, in another order. At the top tier the third count can be the first two added.

Rule 03Pick the missing figure.

The bottom-right figure is missing. Exactly one of the six choices fits every rule. Five grids a day, one after another.

Rule 04A wrong pick stays crossed out.

Keep choosing until you find it; the clock keeps running. In ranked play each wrong pick adds 20 s and each hint adds 60 s. Your result counts the grids you got on the first pick. Stuck? A hint picks the answer.
