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
- Turn over any face-down card.
- Choose a second card. Equal symbols stay visible.
- Unequal cards turn back after a short pause.
- 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.
