About Missing Tile
Rows and columns of colored shapes follow a hidden rule, and one tile is missing. Your child figures out the rule and taps the tile that completes the grid. Small grids simply repeat a row, and the hardest ones mix shapes and colors.
How to play
- Look at each row and column of the grid.
- Work out which shape, and which color, belongs in the gap.
- Tap the right tile, or use the number keys on a computer.
What your child practices
- Logical reasoning
- Finding rules in patterns
- Shapes and colors
- Thinking step by step
