How to play
- A colour word appears, printed in a possibly different colour.
- Tap the option matching what the word says — not the colour it's shown in.
- Score for correct taps; the higher score when time runs out wins.
Tips to win
- Read the word aloud (or in your head) to force your brain past the mismatched colour.
- Don't speed up after a streak — that's exactly when the trick colour catches you.
- If you feel a hesitation, trust the text every time; the colour is the trap.
FAQ
Why is Color Tap so hard?
It uses the Stroop effect — your brain reads the word automatically, so when the ink colour disagrees, you have to consciously override the instinct.
Can I play Color Tap alone?
Yes, there's a solo challenge mode to beat your own best score, plus the head-to-head 2-player mode.
