How to play

How to play Next in Sequence

Free logical reasoning test. Work out the rule behind a number sequence and pick the next term, with the answer and the full derivation shown immediately after every item.

Click a choice or press 1 to 4. The answer and the working appear immediately, and Enter moves to the next item.

Replay value

Why players come back to Next in Sequence

Ten items a day drawn from eight rule families, and the derivation is shown after every answer, so a miss teaches you the pattern you did not see.

Quick strategy

Next in Sequence strategy

Take the differences first: a constant difference is arithmetic, a constant ratio is geometric, and a difference row that is itself arithmetic means the sequence is quadratic. Check any rule on two steps before you commit.
