How the score is calculated
Level one has three target tiles, and each new level adds one. Levels one to three use a 3 × 3 board; levels four to ten use 4 × 4. Every pattern is shown for two seconds. A wrong tile uses one of three lives and repeats that level with a new pattern.
The game ends when you complete level ten or lose three lives. Remembering only part of a pattern earns no level. A score of six means six complete patterns, with eight tiles in the largest completed pattern.
Choose your next step
These are descriptive score ranges for this exercise. They are not population norms, percentiles, employer pass marks or clinical categories.
0–2 levels completed
Start by grouping adjacent tiles into a shape. The first three levels use a 3 × 3 board with three to five targets.
3–5 levels completed
You completed three to five patterns. Level four changes to a 4 × 4 board; practise grouping tiles by row or corner.
6–8 levels completed
You completed six to eight patterns. These levels contain eight to ten target tiles; try remembering clusters and empty spaces.
9–10 levels completed
You completed nine or ten patterns. Level ten is the ceiling of this exercise, not a limit on your memory ability.
Make a useful personal comparison
Use the same device, browser and input controls. Fatigue, distractions and familiarity with the game can change the result. A single run should not stand for your general ability.
