Patterns /Repetition
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.
Four repeats can appear in four-, five- and six-digit numbers, which gives this pattern more room than five of a kind — and the count above reflects that. It is still far from ordinary: most numbers never repeat any digit more than twice.
The four copies do not have to be adjacent. 414144 counts just as much as 111142, though only the first also carries a digit run. Adjacency is scored separately, under the run trait.
Quadruple digits sit in the middle of the repetition ladder, which makes them a reliable way to clear the Distinct or Rare tiers without needing a once-in-a-range number.

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.
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.
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.
