Your guide to Memory Pairs

An idea for your next attempt

After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Keep the objective visible.

Understand the aim

Match all eight pairs. Your result is the number of two-card turns used. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Start with a deliberate move.

Start here and follow along

  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.

Input guidance

Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

Learn from a sample situation

Seeing a star at the top left and another star in the bottom row gives you a matching pair on a later turn. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Verify the rule before continuing.

One detail worth checking

You cannot turn a third card while a mismatched pair is still being shown. Compare the situation with the worked example. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
