Patterns /Repetition
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.
Two independent pairs are harder to arrange than one, but easier than any triple, which places this pattern between them in rarity. The count above shows exactly where it lands.
The two pairs are unordered and need not be adjacent: 5665, 5566 and 6556 all qualify. What matters is the multiset of digits, not their arrangement — arrangement is what the symmetry and sequence groups measure.
Double pairs often stack with other traits. A number like 5665 is both a double pair and a palindrome, and because those live in different groups, both contribute to the score.
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.

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.
Numbers With One Repeated Digit
The mildest form of repetition: exactly one digit appears twice, and every other digit is distinct — as in 1231 or 405067.
