A practical guide to Memory Pairs

A focus for your next round

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Refer to the controls when needed.

What you are aiming for

Match all eight pairs. Your result is the number of two-card turns used. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Take a moment to understand the current position.

How a round unfolds

  1. Turn over any face-down card.
  2. Choose a second card. Equal symbols stay visible.
  3. Unequal cards turn back after a short pause.
  4. Continue until every pair is visible.

Choosing and moving on screen

Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Check any mode label before starting.

An example to follow

Seeing a star at the top left and another star in the bottom row gives you a matching pair on a later turn. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Take a moment to compare.

A mistake to avoid

You cannot turn a third card while a mismatched pair is still being shown. Compare the situation with the worked example. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
