Patterns /Repetition
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.

Related repetition patterns
Repeating Digit Numbers
A repdigit is a number whose digits are all the same, such as 7, 77, 777 or 444444. They are among the rarest visual patterns because every digit is locked to one value.
Five or More of One Digit
Five of a kind: one digit appears at least five times in the number, as in 888880 or 292222. Only six-digit numbers can reach this without being a full repdigit.
Quadruple Digits
A quadruple number contains exactly four copies of one digit, like 4441 or 727772. Four of a kind is the point where repetition stops looking like coincidence.
Triple Digits
A triple contains exactly three copies of one digit, such as 8188 or 636306. It is the most common form of strong repetition — and the first one most people notice.
Double Pair Numbers
A double pair has two different digits appearing twice each, like 3388 or 271721. It is the digit equivalent of two pair in poker.
