ANOMALY — an odd-one-out pattern puzzle

Every board hides a rule. Break the pattern.

What is ANOMALY?

ANOMALY is an odd-one-out puzzle game built on pure pattern recognition. Each board shows a grid of tiles — shapes, colors, and digits — where most tiles follow a hidden rule and a few don't. Your job: work out the rule, then tap the tiles that break the pattern.

The twist that makes ANOMALY different from a typical spot the difference game: the number of anomalies is hidden too. Discovering how many there are is part of the deduction. Find them all without a wrong tap for a flawless three-star solve.

How to play

  1. Scan the board. Most tiles follow a hidden rule — a shape pattern, a color logic, a digit relationship, or a combination.
  2. Build a mental model of the pattern. What do almost all tiles have in common?
  3. Tap every tile that violates the rule. Wrong taps cost stars.
  4. You're never told how many anomalies there are — committing to a complete answer is the final test.
