Brain Test 5 Level 49

Overview

This level tests your ability to copy a colored pixel pattern from a reference grid onto an empty grid. The board is two side-by-side 4×4 grids: the left grid shows the target pattern, and the right grid is labeled with letters A through P for you to fill. Three paint colors sit below the grids — red, yellow, and light blue — and a counter above tells you how many paint drops you have left. The level runs across three rounds, each with a different pattern to copy and a fixed number of paint drops. The overall approach is to study the reference grid square by square, select the correct color, and paint each blank cell to match.

• Difficulty: Regular
• Estimated moves: 20

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Start by studying the left reference grid row by row. In the first round, the grid contains red, yellow, and light blue squares arranged in a specific layout. Do not rush to paint yet — first count how many squares of each color the pattern uses, and confirm that the count matches the paint drops shown at the top.
2. Choose your first color from the three paint cans below. Tap the red can, then tap each blank cell on the right grid that should be red according to the reference. Work row by row from top to bottom so you do not miss a square.
3. Switch to the yellow can and fill every cell that matches the yellow squares on the reference. Then switch to the light blue can and fill the remaining light blue cells. The counter at the top should reach zero exactly when the last square is painted.
4. If you run out of paint drops before the grid is complete, you made a wrong color choice. The game will show a red X at the top, and you can retry the round. Use the retry button rather than trying to repaint individual cells.
5. After you correctly match the first pattern, the page flips to the second round with a new layout. Repeat the same process: study the reference, select colors, paint each cell, and match the pattern exactly. The third round follows the same format. Once all three rounds are correctly painted, a large green checkmark appears over the right grid to confirm the level is complete.

Strategy & Reasoning

The puzzle is designed to reward careful observation rather than speed. The reference grid and the target grid are the same size, so the mapping is direct: cell A on the right corresponds to the top-left cell on the left, B to the next cell in row 1, and so on down to P in the bottom-right. Writing down the pattern on a piece of paper if you are playing on a large screen helps, but you can also just work slowly row by row.
The reason this works as a brain teaser is that all three colors look similar at a glance — red and yellow in particular blend together in small squares. Players who scan the grid quickly tend to mix up adjacent yellow and red cells. The optimal strategy is to paint one color at a time across the entire grid, rather than filling row by row with all colors, because it reduces the chance of switching colors mid-row and making a mistake. Alternatives like guessing random cells are worse because the paint drop count is limited to exactly the number of cells you need to fill — there are no extra drops for wrong guesses.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Do not mix up the yellow and red squares — they are the two most commonly confused colors. Double-check each cell against the reference before you move on.
• Do not paint out of order or skip rows; work one color at a time across the whole grid to avoid losing track of which cells are already filled.
• Do not expect extra paint drops — the counter shows exactly how many cells you need to fill, so every wrong color choice wastes a drop and guarantees you will run out before the grid is complete.
