How to use it

  1. 1

    Fix your gaze

    Look at the centre of the grid. The aim is to spot numbers around it without darting your eyes everywhere.

  2. 2

    Tap in order

    Find and tap 1, then 2, then 3, all the way to 25. The timer starts on your first tap.

  3. 3

    Beat the clock

    Your time is shown at the end. Run it again and try to take seconds off.

When it comes in handy

Speed-reading practice

Train the wide, central gaze that speed-reading methods rely on.

Peripheral vision drill

Practise picking up information around your focus point rather than only where you look.

Focus warm-up

A short, timed challenge to sharpen attention before reading or study.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good time?
Clearing a 5×5 table in under about 30 seconds is a strong result, and regular practice brings that down. Times vary a lot between people and runs, so the most useful comparison is against your own previous attempts.
Why keep my eyes in the centre?
The point of the drill is to find numbers using your peripheral vision rather than scanning around. Holding a soft, central gaze widens the area you take in at once, which is the same skill speed-reading tries to build.
Does it actually help reading speed?
It trains a wider visual span and steadier focus, which supports faster reading, though it is one exercise among many rather than a shortcut on its own. Used regularly alongside real reading practice, it can help.
