Block Design· Intermediate

Goal

Look at the target pattern above and recreate the same pattern on the grid below.

Rules

  • Tap a cell to cycle through colors (white → red → diagonal).
  • When all cells match the target, you advance to the next problem.
  • Higher scores for fewer attempts and fewer toggles.

Tip

First identify the overall symmetry and diagonal directions before filling in cells.

Block Design is a core subtest of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS), measuring nonverbal intelligence and visuospatial construction ability. Analyzing and reconstructing visual patterns trains spatial reasoning, visual-motor coordination, and abstract conceptualization.
