Find your footing in Memory Pairs

Start Memory Pairs by looking at the playing area and its controls. 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. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

Something to practise

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Refer to the controls when needed.

The goal to keep in mind

Match all eight pairs. Your result is the number of two-card turns used. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

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.

Using the playing area

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

Work through an example

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. Notice the change in the playing area.

A common point of confusion

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