Adjacent Digit Runs

A run is three or more identical digits sitting next to each other, like the 777 inside 27773. Adjacency is what makes a run read as deliberate.

Counting copies and counting runs are different questions. 414144 has four 4s but no run of three; 144480 has a run but only three 4s. This trait measures position, not multiplicity, which is why it is scored independently of the repetition tiers.

Requiring the copies to be adjacent removes most of the arrangements that a plain count would accept, so runs are meaningfully rarer than the equivalent number of scattered repeats.

Runs are the pattern most likely to catch the eye mid-roll, which makes them a popular stop condition in the Infinite Roll simulator.

Highest-scoring examples

The best-scoring numbers of four digits or more that carry this pattern. Shorter numbers are excluded here because their length alone dominates any score ranking.
