- You get ten rounds. Your best score is saved on this device.
Controls: mouse or touch. Made by CalcoTools.
Tips and strategy
- Pick one corner of the shape and follow it as you turn the shape in your head.
- A mirror image has the same bends but on the opposite side.
- Count the arms of the shape. A moved square changes the arms.
- Tilt your head to check a turn.
FAQ
- What is the difference between turning and flipping?
- Turning moves a shape round on the page. Flipping turns it over like a pancake, which makes a mirror image.
- Is there a time limit?
- No. Take as long as you need for each round.
- Are the rounds the same every time?
- No. Each round is random.
