About Pattern Grids
Pattern grid puzzles test your visual logic and ability to identify patterns in rows and columns of numbers, symbols, or shapes. These puzzles appear in aptitude tests, IQ assessments, and competitive exam reasoning sections. A pattern grid typically presents a matrix (3×3 or 4×4) with one missing element, and you must identify the pattern governing rows and/or columns to find the missing value. Common patterns include: arithmetic progressions across rows, geometric relationships, alternating sequences, and composite rules combining row-wise and column-wise operations. Below are pattern grid puzzle questions with detailed logic explanations of each pattern.
Key Takeaways
- Check each row pattern first: same operation applied to elements? Are differences constant?
- If rows don't follow a pattern, check columns. Complex grids combine both row and column rules.
- The missing element can be found from either row rule or column rule — both should give the same answer.
Frequently Asked Questions
How to identify row-wise vs column-wise patterns?
A row-wise pattern means each row follows a rule independently (e.g., Row 1: 2, 4, 6 (+2); Row 2: 3, 6, 9 (+3)). A column-wise pattern means each column follows a rule. A combined pattern uses both (each cell = row operation + column operation). Test each hypothesis by checking if it works for ALL known cells.
What if the pattern grid has a mix of number types?
Some grids mix types for different positions. For example, a 3×3 grid might have: arithmetic in the first row, geometric in the second, and alternating in the third. Alternatively, the left column might define base values, and each cell = left value × top value (multiplication table pattern). Check multiple interpretations.

Q4. Find the next number in the sequence: 2, 3, 5, 8, ?
Each term is sum of previous two. Next = 5 + 8 = 13.
Q5

Q5. Find the next number in the sequence: 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, ?
Arithmetic pattern +3. Next = 27.
Q6
Not Answered
NATIVE
Q6. Given 7, 5, 11 with forward differences -2, 6, ?, find the next difference.
Difference step continues, so next difference = 6 + (8) = 4.
Q7

Q7. Find the next number in the sequence: 5, 3, 8, 11, ?
Each term is sum of previous two. Next = 8 + 11 = 19.

Q8. Find the missing value in the sequence: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, ?
Terms are consecutive squares. Next square is 36.
Q9
Not Answered
NATIVE
Q9. Given 2, 10, 11 with forward differences 8, 1, ?, find the next difference.
Difference step continues, so next difference = 1 + (-7) = 9.
