How it works

Controls

Where most runs end

Short-term memory holds somewhere around 7 items, and a sequence of colours is exactly the kind of list it holds badly: there is nothing to attach the order to. Most people stall between 6 and 9, and the way past it is to stop remembering pads and start remembering pairs, the way a phone number is remembered in chunks rather than digits.

Nothing leaves the tab

The pattern, the checking and the score all happen in this tab. The longest run you managed is remembered on this device and goes nowhere else.

React to more than a scoreboard

The score here is yours alone, kept on this device. Emojery counts emoji where other people can see them: on the post, the video, the repo or the product you are already looking at.
