How to play Memory Pairs

Bring your attention to one round of Memory Pairs. Match all eight pairs. Your result is the number of two-card turns used. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Use the example below to understand a decision.

A small practice goal

When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Use the example to check your reasoning.

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. The example below illustrates a decision.

Step by step

  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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Read the example below alongside these instructions.

An example to follow

Turn over one card, remember its position, then choose a second. A matching pair stays found; a mismatch is hidden again. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Read the matching step again.

An important reminder

You cannot turn a third card while a mismatched pair is still being shown. Check the rule before repeating the action. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
