Color Clash

The word says RED, the ink is blue. Trust the ink — 45 seconds.

How to play
  1. 1

    A color word appears — but it's printed in a different ink color.

  2. 2

    Tap the button matching the INK color, not what the word says.

  3. 3

    Score as many as you can in 45 seconds. Mistakes reset your streak.

WHY IT WORKS

Why it works

This is the Stroop test, one of the most famous experiments in psychology. Your brain reads the word automatically, so choosing the ink color forces you to suppress an automatic response — the same 'inhibitory control' you use to stay focused when distractions pull at you.

FAQ

Why is this so hard?

Reading is automatic for fluent readers. The word and the ink color send conflicting signals, and your brain has to override the stronger one.

What is a good score?

Over 34 correct in 45 seconds is sharp; over 42 is exceptional. Accuracy matters more than raw speed.
