ANOMALY: Break the Pattern

Every board hides a rule. Your job: find the tiles that don't follow it. ANOMALY is a pattern-recognition puzzle that trains your eye to see what doesn't belong. No timer pressure. No tutorial dumps. Just you, a grid of tiles, and a hidden pattern waiting to be cracked. HOW IT PLAYS Each level shows a board where most tiles follow a hidden rule — and a few don't. Tap the ones that break the pattern. But choose carefully: every wrong tap costs a heart. Run out and you'll watch a quick ad or spend a hint to keep going. Three stars demands a flawless solve. The twist: the number of anomalies is hidden too. Discovering how many there are is part of the puzzle. SIX TIERS, 1,200 LEVELS ★ AWAKEN — 5×5 boards, two simple axes. The training ground. ★ ATTUNE — 6×6 boards, digits enter the mix. ★ READ — 7×7 boards, rules begin to overlap. ★ DECIPHER — 7×7 boards, deeper complexity. ★ UNRAVEL — 8×8 boards, rules stack. ★ MASTERWORK — 9×9 boards, up to 12 anomalies, seven layered rules. 200 procedurally generated levels per tier. Every puzzle is deterministic — replay any level and the board is identical. No two players will see the same path through ANOMALY in the same order. FEATURES ★ 16 rule families across shape, color, and digit axes ★ Three hearts per board — wrong taps cost them, so precision pays ★ Spend a hint for a clue — reveal a non-anomaly, or pinpoint an actual anomaly — and never lose a heart for it ★ Daily Puzzle with streak tracking and reminders ★ Three-star ratings, best times, flawless-solve timestamps ★ Local progress, no account required ★ No countdown clock — read the board at your own pace ★ Designed for one-hand portrait play and two-minute sessions ★ Soft haptics and synthesized audio that match the puzzle's rhythm FOR PEOPLE WHO LIKE Sudoku, Set, KenKen, nonograms, pattern-matching games, lateral-thinking logic — and the quiet satisfaction of "I can see it now."
