Listen, then order the digits

Listen to the full sequence, then recall its digits in the selected order.

Listen before you type

1 of 4

Written example of what you hear528Same order: 5 2 8
Keep the order in which the digits were heard.

Spoken-sequence practice plays English digit recordings once. The digits stay hidden while they play. Use the sound check to choose a comfortable volume before beginning.

In Same order, keep the sequence as you heard it. If the recordings say five, two, eight, enter 5 2 8 after playback finishes. Spaces between digits are fine.

The lesson shows written examples to explain the method. The actual practice is an audio task, with typing available after the sequence ends and no microphone needed.

Lesson help

Start with the last digit in reverse order

In Reverse order, listen to the whole sequence, then work back from the final digit. For five, two, eight, the response becomes 8 2 5.

Keep every digit and change its position according to the selected order. Reverse order has its own practice record, so its results stay separate from Same order.

A round contains three sequences. Levels increase sequence length from three to ten digits. Your first checked answer is kept, and an interrupted playback requires a fresh round.

Written example of what you hear528Reverse order: 8 2 5
Begin with the last heard digit, then move backward through the sequence.

Reverse a short sequence

The selected setting is Reverse order. You hear four, one, nine. Start with the last digit, then continue backward. Which response follows that instruction?

This checkpoint uses two written choices. During practice, you listen to the recordings and type the digits yourself after they finish.

The result shows exact sequences and digits in the correct positions. Those counts describe the completed practice round, with the selected recall order and recording version kept alongside it.

Written example of what you hear419Reverse order: ? ? ?
Use the last heard digit first, then work back to the beginning.

Try it

You hear 4 1 9. Which answer follows Reverse order?

  1. 9 1 4
  2. 1 4 9
Show the answer

9 1 4

Correct. Nine was heard last, one was in the middle, and four was first. Reversing their positions gives 9 1 4.
