Your goal

Step by step
- Start a round and watch the highlighted cells.

- Complete the pattern to advance.
Controls
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
A useful example
If the four corner squares were shown, select those four corners in any order. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Look for the relevant detail.
