Mind Games: Matrix Puzzles

Spot the pattern, find the missing piece, and see exactly how it's solved. Mind Games is a matrix reasoning puzzle: a 3×3 grid of shapes with one cell missing. Every row follows hidden rules. Work them out, then choose the piece that completes the grid. Every puzzle is generated fresh, so you'll never run out. SEE THE WORKING Stuck, or just curious? The step-by-step walkthrough breaks every puzzle down one rule at a time. It highlights the rows it's talking about, lays out the values side by side, and explains why each wrong option fails. You don't just get the answer. You learn how to find it. AN ON-DEVICE PUZZLE COACH Ask the coach anything: "Where should I start?", "What does distribute three mean?", "Why is that the answer?" It gives nudges without spoiling the puzzle and can explain any step in a different way. The coach runs privately on your device with Apple Intelligence. SIX LEVELS, FROM WARM-UP TO EXPERT • Warm-up: every cell is the same. Learn to spot what stays constant. • Very easy and Easy: read rows and find the single moving part. • Moderate: several rules at once, including counting and rotation. • Advanced and Expert: arithmetic, stacked rules and mixed shapes. MASTER THE FIVE RULES Every puzzle is built from five kinds of rule: always the same, same along each row, progression, distribute three, and arithmetic. The Learn tab explains each one with live examples and practice puzzles, plus a simple method that works on any puzzle. HINTS WHEN YOU WANT THEM Take a gentle nudge, a stronger hint, or the full walkthrough. Hints never break your streak. A NEW DAILY PUZZLE A fresh challenge every day.
