The 8 Core Skills

Tap any skill to see what it means, how to spot it in a puzzle, and the real levels that train it.

Observation is the skill of spotting the small, easy-to-miss detail that changes the whole answer.

Memory is the skill of holding onto information that has already left the screen and using it to solve what comes next.

Logic is the skill of working out the real count, order, or rule instead of trusting the first thing you see.

Lateral thinking is the skill of abandoning common sense and trying the unexpected, silly, or literal answer.

Attention is the skill of staying focused on what the puzzle is really asking while the scene tries to pull your eyes elsewhere.

Problem solving is the skill of pulling the whole scene together — breaking a messy puzzle into steps and reaching the answer that fits.

Spatial thinking is the skill of picturing how objects move, fit, rotate, and stack in the space on screen.

Pattern recognition is the skill of spotting the repeating rule — in numbers, colors, shapes, or motion — that the puzzle quietly follows.
