Rules and help

How to play Order

Press Start. The numbers 1 through 4 appear in squares on the board. After a short look they hide. The squares that held a number stay light, and the empty squares stay dark. Click the light squares in order, starting at 1. Each correct click shows that number again. Get the whole set right and the next set has one more number. The first wrong square ends the run.

The board

The board is five squares by five, and it does not change size. A number stays in the square where it appeared. Only the digit hides. The board holds 25 numbers. Clearing every square ends the run.

Look

Brief, Steady, and Unhurried set how long the digits stay up. A larger set is shown for a little less time. Changing the look during a run ends it. Press Start when you are ready to look again.

Score

Score is the largest set you have clicked in order during this run. Clearing 1 through 6 scores 6. Best updates as soon as you pass your longest score, and it stays even if you then press New game. Last is the score from the previous run that ended.

A miss

The square you clicked is marked, and so is the number you needed next. The rest of the set is shown, so you can see where it was.

Using this game

Press Start and look. Then click the light squares from 1. New game ends the run and waits. If you leave this tab while the numbers are up, or between sets, they pause. The same set is shown again when you come back, or the next set if you had already finished one. Your turn waits if you leave while it is yours. Your best score stays on this device.

Tips

• Build a path story (1 top-left, 2 center…) instead of memorizing isolated coordinates.
• Rehearse the path once with your eyes before the digits disappear.
• When the field gets crowded, prioritize the highest numbers—you already know where 1–3 usually sat.
• Missed a round? Drop to Unhurried for two clears, then return to Steady.

Playing on a phone or tablet

Tap the light squares in order after the numbers hide. Start, New game, and look stay above the board.

Frequently asked questions

What does the score mean?

It is the largest set you clicked in order, from 1. Clearing 1 through 6 scores 6. Missing on the next set leaves the score at 6.

Do the squares move?

No. A number stays in its square. The digit hides, and the square stays light so you can click it.

How many numbers can there be?

Twenty-five, one in every square. The first set is 1 through 4. Each correct set adds one number. Clearing the board ends the run.
