  3. Correct blocks lock in; wrong clicks cost one of three lives.
  4. Complete the full pattern to advance — grids grow as you go.

Frequently asked questions

How does Symmetry Blocks work?

The left half of a grid shows a lit pattern; the right half is dark. Click the mirrored positions to complete perfect left-right symmetry. Every correct block locks in; wrong clicks cost one of your three lives.

What is a good score?

Two to four patterns is a solid start. Seven or more means you are mirroring dense 6×6 and 8×8 grids almost effortlessly — genuine spatial fluency.

What skill does this test?

Mental rotation and spatial transformation — imagining a shape flipped across an axis. It is the same cognitive move as reading a mirrored map, visualizing folds in origami, or judging if two shapes are congruent.

Any strategy for dense patterns?

Work row by row and scan outward from the center line — mirrored neighbors are easiest to check together. Counting lit blocks per row also catches slips: each row must have an even count.

Why does the pattern stay visible?

This is a transformation task, not a memory task — the challenge is executing the mirror flip accurately under pressure, not memorizing. That keeps it fair as grids grow and the error budget stays at three.
