🧠 Pattern Memory

How to play

A four by four grid of sixteen tiles lights up one tile at a time, each with its own colour and emoji, and you click the same tiles back in the same order. Every level you clear adds one more step to the sequence, so the pattern grows until you make a mistake.

• Start button — resets level and score, builds the grid and plays the first one step pattern.
• Grid tiles — click or tap a tile to enter it as the next step of your answer. Clicks are ignored while the pattern is playing.

Scoring

Clearing a level awards the level number times 10, so level 1 pays 10, level 2 pays 20 and level 5 pays 50, and the level counter then rises by one. Score is compared against Best after every cleared level. A wrong tile ends the run at once: score returns to 0 and the level to 1, and a new one step pattern starts. Because the reward grows with the level, the end of a long run is worth more than its whole opening.

Tips

• Only the last tile is new. The sequence keeps everything you already saw, so concentrate on the final flash.
• Group the steps into chunks of three or four — six steps held as two groups are far easier than six separate items.
• Use the emoji as well as the colour. Each position has a fixed pair, so a tile can be recalled as a symbol.
• There is no timer on your input, so take a moment before the first click and replay the sequence in your head.
