New games arrive at midnight UTC; the reset time is shown in your local time. Pausing and continuing never uses another game. BEAT THE CLOCK Classic starts with 18 seconds. Correct matches add time. Follow the reference ring when the pattern rotates, and beat your best. A FRESH DAILY CHALLENGE Everyone gets the same daily sequence of patterns. The challenge changes at midnight UTC. LEARN AND PRACTICE FREE Untimed Practice and the interactive guide are always free and never use a daily game. The guide lights up your next tap and helps when you make a mistake.
