Tap the odd one out
—
can you spot the odd one out?
№ 1Spotty is a free daily odd-one-out visual puzzle. Everyone gets the same four grids of tiles each day. In every grid all the tiles match except one, and your job is to tap it. Each grid is a little subtler than the one before.
Each day has four grids, and each grid hides a different kind of difference: one shape that isn't quite like the others, one that's been turned, one that's a different size, or one that's a lighter or darker shade. Tap the tile you think is the odd one out. If you're right, it gets a tick and the next grid appears. If you're wrong, the tile is crossed out and that slip uses up one of your six tries. Clear all four grids to solve the day. On Monday and Tuesday every other tile is identical. From Wednesday the other tiles start to vary to throw you off: on a size grid they might all be turned different ways, or on a turning grid they might come in a few sizes. Those distractions always come in pairs or more, so the odd tile is the only one that's different on its own. Grids are 3×3 early in the week and grow to 5×5 at the weekend, when the differences are a touch smaller too.
Clear all four grids without a single slip and you earn 12 points; each wrong tap knocks it down to 10, 8, 6, 4 and then 2. A sixth wrong tap ends the day. Stuck? The helper shows which row of the current grid the odd tile is in, but it halves the day's score and is only available until your third slip.
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.
Spotty never relies on colour. Every difference is in shape, size, rotation or brightness, so you can play the whole game in greyscale. The shapes are drawn in greys on white, and the day's accent colour is only decoration. Turn on High contrast to give every shape a bold outline and a dot texture that gets denser on darker shades, which makes shade differences easier to feel out. Your setting is remembered. Animations are kept gentle, and they switch off if your device asks for reduced motion.
