Crossword puzzles, brain teasers and word scrambles offer a fun, easy and quick way to exercise your brain. Research has found that computer brain games may even sharpen your memory.
Brain games can improve certain mental skills such as decision making, processing speed, reaction time and short-term memory, according to Harvard Medical School. These skills naturally decline with age, so it’s smart to regularly do activities to keep them sharp.
One fun type of brain teaser that can help keep your brain in shape: a two-of-a-kind matching game. In this exercise, you look at a group of similar images and pick out the two that are exactly alike. This type of brain exercise may sharpen your visual perception, which is your brain’s ability to process information from your eyes. Visual perception is important for any activity that requires brain-eye coordination, from cooking to driving to working on the computer.
You’ll find the answer underneath the puzzle. Good luck!

Answer: Match is 3 and 4.
3 and 4 took about minute and half
I got it in less than a minute
I concentrated on the black dots, and was able to eliminate the ones that did not match.
1 and3
It took too long, about 15 minutes, but I got it right
Took me around 3 min to get it numbers 3 &4.
I enjoyed the brain teaser. It took me about ten minutes.
It took me under a minute and a half – about 70 to 80 seconds. I didn’t notice the black dots right away so I had to start over, but then it went very quickly.
First of all, I read the instructions wrong. I thought I was looking for 3 that matched. I chose 3,4 and 6. When I reread the instructions I realized 6 was not a match. Thank you for the puzzle with NO adds
Took me almost 10 minutes to finally figure out.
enjoyed it….
I had 1 and 4 not realizing the black dots were part of the puzzle. I would have chosen 3&4. It took about 5 minutes. Thanks
