About these worksheets

Each PDF is three pages: two pages of 5 puzzles each (10 total) followed by a full answer key. Sequence puzzles read left-to-right with the missing term marked as “?”; matrix puzzles arrange the elements in a square grid with one cell missing. Pick the correct option from A/B/C/D.

The answer key lists each correct letter and value alongside the first line of the worked proof — enough to verify the rule without spoiling the satisfaction of working it out.

If you'd rather solve interactively, play online with hints, timing, and progress tracking.
