Start here — one guess
Look at this for 20 seconds. What goes in the empty cell?
The tell: one thing changes steadily across the cells — it gets bigger, or there are more of it, or the colour moves along. Find what's growing and by how much.
Pick one. Nothing is scored and nothing is saved — the guess is the point.
The family in one sentence
Sequences & growth: one attribute changes by a steady step along an axis.
Something grows or shrinks in a regular way — size, the number of elements, the colour along a wheel. The shape stays the same; one feature steps. Your job is to find which feature, and the size of the step, then project it.
A shape growing by a fixed step across the cells — same shape, steadily larger.
What growth looks like
- One feature changes in one direction. Everything else is constant.
- The patterns differ by which feature grows:
- Size — the shape gets larger (or smaller) by a fixed step.
- Count — the number of elements increases by a fixed amount.
- Colour cycle — the colour steps along a wheel (red → blue → green → red).
- Fill — the shape moves through states (outline → half → solid).
- Scale + position — size and position grow together.

The course
This chapter is a lesson in the Matrigma Prep Course
The course carries the same eight chapters as ten pattern lessons, each with a guided think-through, a drill of unseen questions and a quiz, plus the full practice tests and your readiness report. Enrolling is free; full access opens the paid lessons.
Where to practise
The drill serves ten sequences and growth questions you have not seen, easiest first, with the explanation after every answer. The mastery check is six questions — two easy, two medium, two hard — at sixty seconds each, with no tactic on screen and no explanations until the end.
