What it trains
Odd one out
Odd one out trains classifying: finding what most things have in common, and noticing the one that breaks the group — by category, shape, or a number property like even, square or prime.
How to solve it
Three steps
Step 1: Look at all of them before you choose.
Step 2: Find something that all but one share.
Step 3: Check the odd one really is the only one that's different.

Questions
Is this an IQ test?
Not these puzzles. They are reasoning puzzles like those found in IQ-style tests, made for practice and fun, and they don't give a score. If you'd like a score, try our IQ-style practice test: it gives a practice score for learning and fun, not a clinical assessment.
Which level should my child start at?
Each level shows suggested ages, but start where it feels easy and move up after a round with two or three stars.
Can I print these puzzles?
Yes. Every puzzle type prints as a black-and-white sheet with a separate answer key, on A4 or US Letter.
