How to Play

1. Read Your Mission
   Look at the amber box at the top of the screen. It will give you a target number of equal sides to find:
   NO: Look for a shape where every side is a different length (Scalene).
   2: Look for a shape with exactly two matching sides (Isosceles).
   3: Look for a shape with three identical sides (Equilateral).
   4: Look for a shape with four identical sides (Square).
   

2. Inspect the Grid
   Four green shapes will appear in the grid below. Use your eyes like a ruler to compare the lengths of the lines:
   The Scalene: Look for a triangle that seems “pushed over” with one very long side and one very short side.
   The Isosceles: Look for a triangle that is tall and thin, like a steeple. The two sides meeting at the top are the same.
   The Equilateral: Look for the most “perfect” looking triangle that is wide and balanced.
   The Square: Look for the box shape where the height and width are a perfect match.
   

3. Make Your Selection
   Click on the shape you think matches the target.
   Correct: The shape will glow green, a success chime will play, and you’ll get a “Perfect Match” message.
   Try Again: If you’re wrong, the shape will shake and turn red. Recount the equal sides and try a different shape.
   

4. Keep the Streak Going
   Once you find the correct match, the NEXT CHALLENGE button will appear. Click it to shuffle the shapes and get a brand-new target. See how many you can get right in a row!
