Logic games explained: look for patterns

In a logic game, the answer usually follows from the information you are given. You do not have to guess randomly. Start by finding a rule that explains every example.

Logic games do not require advanced mathematics. Often you only need to spot differences, arrange information and test a rule one step at a time.

Three practical tips

1. Break the problem into small steps.
2. Look for repetition, spacing and clear differences.
3. Test your rule against another example before committing to it.
