The three cups

Cup 1: Step Back

Step Back, Letter · 3 back: keeping a short list moving through your mind. 23 letters, 6 of them matches; letters used: C, F, H, K, N, R, T.

Tip: Do not chase a missed match. The next item is already on its way.

Cup 2: Flash Grid

Flash Grid, Medium: holding a scattered pattern for a second. The first pattern has 5 tiles on a 4 × 4 grid and stays lit for 1.1 s.

Tip: Tap the tiles you are sure of first, then the doubtful one. A wrong first tap costs the whole round.

Cup 3: Ink & Word

Ink & Word, Hard: keeping your eye on the ink while the word pulls the other way. Forty-five seconds with 6 colours and word buttons; the first card is the word ‘red’ in yellow ink.

Tip: Let your eyes rest on the edge of the letters, where the ink is, rather than reading the middle of the word.

Every cup in set #90 has a fixed seed, so anyone who opens this set gets the same patterns, trails, sums and waits. Your own ticks and results are kept only in this browser.
