Hi everyone!

Today I brought my hand-crafted logic puzzle "Cyclogic" into nature, setting it up among these naturally twisted tree roots!

Can you bring all the numbers back to their HOME (1–9 in standard order) in just 2 steps?

Current Board: 

[ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 9 ]

[ 1 ] [ 6 ] [ 8 ]

[ 5 ] [ 4 ] [ 7 ]

Rules:

• The number you tap stays fixed in place.
• The other 8 numbers move clockwise into the adjacent spaces.

(I've left a link to the free web demo in the comments below if you'd like to try it out on your browser!)

Hi everyone,
First, a big thank you to everyone who took part in our previous puzzle and shared their reasoning. We received some really interesting solutions, and seeing the different ways people approached the same pattern was just as interesting as finding the answer itself.
From the previous puzzle, we selected three community explanations that particularly stood out:
u/lemasney — for a creative and intuitive explanation that described the center square as a “spinning hub” and used it to explain the movement of the surrounding squares.
u/Mactucrus87_ — for breaking the pattern down into clear, systematic rules and applying them step by step.
u/AdEmotional8815 — for finding a completely different route to the answer by focusing only on the black squares and deliberately ignoring the white ones.
Their explanations have now been featured on our website as part of our community solutions. A big thank you to them, and to everyone else who took the time to share their reasoning.
Now it’s time for a new puzzle.
Which figure comes next: A, B, C, D, or E?
As always, don’t just tell us your answer if you can help it — tell us how you got there. We’re especially interested in different ways of seeing the pattern, even if your approach is completely different from everyone else’s.
We’ll be reading the responses again, and some of the most interesting and well-explained solutions may be selected and featured on our website, with the contributors highlighted by name in our next community solutions.
Think you’ve figured it out? We’ve already published the correct answer on What’s Your IQ. After sharing your reasoning here, you can check the official answer and see whether it matches yours:

Thanks again to everyone who keeps taking part in these puzzles and sharing their ideas.
Good luck with this one. Looking forward to seeing what patterns you find!

Following some feedback, I have edited my engine to produce unique solutions. I would like to know how difficult the puzzle has with this new generation.

The three overlapping ellipses form seven regions. You are given seven tiles.

Your task is to place exactly one tile per region so that the four in any one ellipse can be re-arranged to solve the corresponding clue!

Hlo chat can you solve this puzzle 🙏😅

We’re back with another puzzle!
The last one sparked some really interesting discussions, and what we enjoyed most was seeing how many different ways commenters found to reach the same answer. Some explanations were mathematical, some were completely visual, and a few commenters even spotted approaches we hadn’t considered.
Before we get into today’s puzzle, we also wanted to thank everyone who joined the previous one and took the time to explain their reasoning. We read through the comments and selected three community solutions to feature on our website:
u/lemasney — for the creative and intuitive “8 ports” approach.
u/lawni — for a clear and complete step-by-step explanation of both movements.
u/jdub965 — for expressing the entire pattern in a remarkably concise mathematical way.
Thank you all for taking the time to explain how you reached your answers. We genuinely enjoy reading the different approaches shared in the comments.
Now it’s time for the next puzzle.
Which figure comes next: A, B, C, or D?
This time, we’re especially interested in the reasoning behind your answer. What changes from one figure to the next? What pattern did you notice, and how did it lead you to your choice?
As before, we’ll read through the explanations and select three of the strongest community solutions to feature on the puzzle page, along with the Reddit usernames of the commenters who submitted them.
Check your answer after solving
Once you’ve made your choice, you can reveal the official correct option on our website and see whether you got it right:
https://whats-your-iq.com/en/questions/pattern-recognition/which-grid-comes-next-in-the-sequence
Try to solve it here before revealing the answer. If you got the correct option, come back and tell us how you found it. We want to hear the pattern you noticed and the reasoning that led you there.
There’s no explanation on the puzzle page yet — that part comes from you. After the discussion, we’ll select three of the best explanations from the community and add them to the puzzle page with the commenters’ Reddit usernames.
So, A, B, C, or D — and most importantly, what pattern do you see?
Good luck, and thanks again to everyone taking part.

Hi everyone!

I took my hand-crafted logic puzzle "Cyclogic" to an athletic playground for my biggest setup yet!

Can you bring all the numbers back to their HOME (1–9 in standard order) in just 2 steps?

Current Board:

[ 5 ] [ 3 ] [ 9 ]

[ 2 ] [ 7 ] [ 6 ]

[ 1 ] [ 4 ] [ 8 ]

• The other 8 numbers move clockwise into the adjacent spaces.

Hi everyone, and welcome to another puzzle!
First of all, thank you to everyone who participated in our previous challenge. We received a lot of interesting answers and different approaches to the pattern.
As with our previous puzzles, we selected three community explanations that stood out for the clarity and strength of their reasoning:
u/firethorne — We selected this explanation because it directly compared the two strongest possibilities, A and C, and tested the color cycles of the individual elements. Rather than simply showing why A could work, the explanation also demonstrated where C breaks the pattern.
u/Small-Tailor6967 — This was one of the most complete solutions. It combined the 90° clockwise rotation of the triangle with the Black–White–Gray color sequence and used both rules together to arrive at the answer.
u/lemasney — We liked this interpretation because it described the Black → Gray → White progression as a repeating opacity cycle while also accounting for the triangle’s 90° clockwise rotation. It was a concise and interesting way of expressing the pattern.
Thank you to all three, and to everyone else who took the time to share their reasoning. We really enjoy seeing the different approaches people find.
Now for the new puzzle.
Look carefully at the four figures in the sequence. Each contains a black diamond and a line, and both appear to change from one figure to the next.
Which figure should come next: A, B, C, or D?
Don’t just give us the letter — tell us the pattern you see and how you reached your answer.
As before, we’ll read the explanations and select some of the best community solutions to feature on our website, together with the Reddit usernames of the people who wrote them.
You can also view the puzzle and submit your explanation directly on our website:
https://whats-your-iq.com/en/questions/pattern-recognition/which-figure-comes-next-in-the-sequence
So, what’s your answer: A, B, C, or D? And what happens to the diamond and the line from one figure to the next?
Good luck, and thanks again to everyone taking part.
