What is the process of solving this puzzle?
Let’s analyze the image above.
Step 1 – Find the common number
- In the column, we have 1 and 3.

- In the column, we have red and purple.
- In the row, we have blue and purple
There are only four colors: yellow, purple, blue, and red. Yellow is missing, as we can see.
We can now conclude that the answer is 2-yellow.
