A calm rotation puzzle about restoring patterns

Pattern Atlas is a free browser puzzle where you rotate and fit colored fragments into a frame to restore a target pattern. Every study has one intended arrangement — filling the frame is not enough, every square must match. Twenty hand-authored visual studies range from gentle color-matching to arrangements that reward real spatial reasoning. There is no clock, no streak, and no account. You restore a pattern, maybe share it with a friend, then close the tab.

How to play

• Drag a fragment into the frame, or tap a fragment then a square.
• Tap a selected fragment again to rotate it 90°.
• Every square in the frame must match the target field above.
• Use the arrows above the board to move between the twenty studies.

How to play

1. Read the target pattern shown above the board.
2. Drag a fragment into the frame, or tap a fragment then a square.
3. Tap a selected fragment again to rotate it 90°.
4. Every square in the frame must match the target — filling it is not enough.
5. Use the arrows above the board to move between the twenty studies.

Tips

• Match the corners and edges first — they anchor the rest of the field.
• If a fragment almost fits but colors are off, rotate it before moving.
• Work from the largest color region inward to avoid rework.
• Step back and compare the whole field against the target when stuck.
• Each study has exactly one solution — don't settle for "close".
