Setting up the lane…

What this step asks

Type back a number of 5 digits backwards, last digit first on the Backwards · Medium level. The first number has 4 digits and every correct answer adds one, so 2 correct answers take you there. You have 14 rounds and 3 lives.

The numbers behind the target

  • Each digit is on show for 650 ms with 200 ms before the next, so a 5-digit number takes about 4.2 s to appear.
  • No digit repeats back to back and there are no runs like 4-5-6.
  • Rounds to spare for slips: 12 of 14.

Before you start

First steps are about finding the rhythm of the game. Run it once just to watch, then run it to clear it.

The run code fixes the tasks, so every retry is the same course. What you learned on the last attempt still applies.
