===Examples of valid matches===

[[Image:Two-red-circles.png]] [[Image:One-red-circle.png]] [[Image:Three-red-circles.png]] The colors, shapes, and shade match; numbers are different.

[[Image:One-blue-check.png]] [[Image:One-green-ex.png]] [[Image:One-red-circle.png]] The numbers match; colors, shapes and shade are different.

[[Image:One-red-circle.png]] [[Image:Three-blue-checks.png]] [[Image:Two-green-exes.png]] Everything is different.

===Examples of invalid matches===

[[Image:One-red-circle.png]] [[Image:Two-red-circles.png]] [[Image:Three-green-circles.png]] two of the same colors (red)

[[Image:One-green-ex.png]] [[Image:One-blue-ex.png]] [[Image:One-red-circle.png]] two of the same shape (X)

[[Image:Three-blue-checks.png]] [[Image:One-red-circle.png]] [[Image:Two-green-exes-solid.png]] two of the same shade (solid)

[[Image:Two-blue-circles.png]] [[Image:Two-green-circles.png]] [[Image:One-red-circle.png]] two of the same number (2)

===Additional features===

* Dimensions includes number-search and word-search games in addition to the pattern-search game.

* Dimensions includes a computer (robot) assistant. The robot will help you find matches. It operates on a timer—finding matches after an adjustable number of seconds. The robot is enabled/disabled by clicking on the button the the Tool menu.

* Dimensions includes Beginner, Intermediate, and Expert Modes. In Beginner Mode, there are only 9 (32) cards and only two card characteristics. In Intermediate mode, there are 27 (33) cards and three card characteristics. In Expert Mode, there are 81 (34) cards and four card characteristics.

* There is an edit mode so that customized word lists can be used in the Word Game (and shared over the network).

* Also, you can load custom cards from the Journal.

~~===Notes===~~

* The grid layout is arbitrary; there is ''no'' need to pick in rows or columns, or one from each column.

* The blank cards on the left are a place to display the most recent match; they can be otherwise ignored.
