Abstract reasoning

Mind Lab

Pick a kind of puzzle, solve a round of five, and read why each answer is right. Sequences, patterns, balances, matrices and deduction cases each train a different way of thinking.

Free in the browser, no account needed.

  1. A round has five problems of the kind you chose.
  2. Each problem has exactly one correct option.
  3. Answers are final. After each answer you see the reasoning.
  4. Show solution reveals the answer and counts as a miss.
  5. Your score is the number of first answers that were right.

  1. Look for the rule. Every problem follows one clear rule. Find it before you look at the options.
  2. One answer fits. Exactly one option matches the rule. After answering, read the explanation.

  • Click or tap an option to answer
  • Tab moves between options, Enter or Space answers
  • H for a hint (the rule to look for, never the answer)

Each round has five problems of one kind. Harder levels combine more rules at once. Every problem is checked so that exactly one option fits. Mind Lab is practice for reasoning, not an IQ test.
