Pale means you have not met it yet. It fills in as you get it right — and both squares light up together, because 3 × 7 and 7 × 3 are the same fact.

How it picks: Not at random. Every fact has a strength from nothing to five, and the shaky ones are about thirty-six times likelier to come up than the solid ones. So the practice aims itself at what you actually find hard, instead of making you do 2 × 2 over and over.
Getting one wrong: You are told the answer straight away — being told is how you learn it, and being asked again in a minute is how you keep it. A wrong answer costs two steps of strength where a right one earns one, because a slip after a lucky run says more than the run did.
Why the grid lights up in pairs: 3 × 7 and 7 × 3 are the same fact. Learn one and you have both, so both squares fill in together. It means there are 78 facts to learn in the whole grid, not 144 — which is a much less frightening number.
Kinds of question: Times is 7 × 8. Dividing is 56 ÷ 7. Missing number is 7 × ? = 56 — the same thing as dividing, but it does not look like it, which is exactly why it is worth doing.
The best-times board: Only a round with every single one right goes on it, so a fast time there means something.
Keyboard: Type the digits, Backspace to rub out, Enter to check. Or use the keys on screen.
