What reasoning practice looks like

Reasoning games are puzzles with a rule to find: a path that visits every dot, a pattern to continue, a balance to read or a grid to fill. Most are untimed, so you can think before you move.

Dot Path, the daily puzzle, is a reasoning game. Each day opens your next level. It is free in the Wits app for iPhone and also plays on the web with a free Wits account.

You’ll practice

  • Planning ahead. Thinking a few moves ahead before acting.
  • Spatial reasoning. Picturing how pieces move around each other.
  • Working memory. Holding one result in mind while using it in the next step.
  • Problem solving. Finding a new way forward after a dead end.
