what comes next?
№ 1Sequency is a free daily maths puzzle. Everyone sees the same five numbers each day, and your job is to spot the pattern and work out the number that comes next. It's a quick brain teaser for anyone who likes finding the rule behind things.
Type your answer on the number pad and press Guess. If it's wrong, you're told whether the next number is higher or lower, and a hint unlocks. The first hint shows the gaps between the numbers, the second nudges you towards how those gaps behave, the third spells out the rule, and the fourth tells you the next step outright, so nobody is left stuck. Every number is a whole number, and every puzzle is checked against a whole library of sequence rules: if any other sensible rule would give a different answer, that puzzle is thrown out. Early in the week the rules are gentle, like adding the same amount or doubling; later on you'll meet growing gaps, two-step patterns and sequences where each number is the sum of the two before it.
You have six attempts. Solving it on your first attempt earns 12 points, then 10, 8, 6, 4 and 2 for attempts two to six. Each miss tells you how far away you were. Stuck early on? The helper shows the rule in words, but it halves the day's score and is only available during your first three attempts.
Your play streak counts the days in a row you've played, and your solved streak counts the days in a row you've solved the puzzle. Play seven days running and you earn a 7-point bonus, or 14 points if you solved all seven. Miss a day and the streaks start again. A new puzzle arrives every day at midnight UTC.
