How to spot the correct order

Look for lines, horizons, object edges and changes in light that continue from one section to the next. Identify the outer parts first, then connect the clearest transitions.

  • ✓ Compare colors and textures at each edge
  • ✓ Place distinctive sections first
  • ✓ Use the preview only when needed

Strips or a two-dimensional grid

Strip mode focuses your reasoning on vertical order. Grid mode adds rows and columns, increasing spatial complexity and asking you to compare several boundaries at once.

  • ✓ Clear progressive difficulty
  • ✓ Touch, mouse and keyboard interaction
  • ✓ Immediate correct-position feedback

Train precision and visual memory

Countdown mode rewards quick decisions. Blackout mode hides the image after a few seconds and turns the photograph into a visual-memory exercise. Standard mode remains available for unhurried play.

  • ✓ Standard mode to learn
  • ✓ Countdown mode for speed
  • ✓ Blackout mode for memory
