🎨 Stroop Rush
Pick the INK color, not the word. 30 seconds. A free browser game with no download, no sign-up and no timer pressure. Works on phone, tablet and desktop.
How to play Stroop Rush
Use the mouse, touch or arrow keys. Most boards include a Restart button when you get stuck. Short sessions are the point — a two-minute reset between meetings works just as well as twenty.
Tip: If a board looks impossible, restart it. Every puzzle is generated fresh.
