How to play
Watch the visible number string. When it hides, press the digits in the same order using the on-screen buttons.
Why numbers work
A short digit string creates a clean recall task without adding a large board or complicated rules.
Difficulty
Easy starts with four digits, Medium uses five digits, and Hard uses seven digits with a longer set of possible buttons.
Review
After a correct finish or mismatch, the page shows both the correct digits and the player's entered digits.
