Number Sequence
A run of numbers with one missing, and a rule connecting them that you have to spot. The pattern might be arithmetic, geometric, or something less obvious — and the blank is not always at the end, so sometimes you work inwards from both sides.
How it works
- Find the rule connecting the numbers in the sequence.
- Work out the missing term, then choose it from the four answers.
- Check the pattern on both sides of an internal blank.
- A hint explains the kind of pattern and removes one wrong answer.
- Choosing an incorrect number counts as a mistake.
The same rules are shown inside the app, on the puzzle’s overview screen — one tap opens the difficulty choice and how to play together, so you never have to go looking for them.
Good if you want…
- A puzzle you can finish in a minute or two
- Spotting a pattern rather than grinding one out
- Writing your own sequence for someone else
