🎮 How to Play Pattern Master
Pattern recognition is fundamental to human intelligence. In this game, you'll be presented with a sequence of shapes, colors, or numbers, and you need to identify what comes next in the pattern.
- Observe: Study the given sequence carefully. Look for repeating elements.
- Identify: Determine the rule governing the pattern—is it alternating colors? Increasing sizes? Rotating shapes?
- Predict: Based on the rule you've identified, select the correct next element.
💡 Pattern Recognition Tips
- Look for cycles: Many patterns repeat after 2, 3, or 4 elements.
- Check multiple attributes: The pattern might be in color, shape, size, or rotation—sometimes all at once!
- Work backwards: If stuck, try to find the rule by comparing adjacent elements.
- Start simple: Always check for the simplest pattern first before looking for complex rules.
🧠 Brain Benefits
Pattern recognition puzzles strengthen the brain's ability to identify relationships and predict outcomes.
