Memory Pairs: how a round works

Bring your attention to one round of Memory Pairs. Match all eight pairs. Your result is the number of two-card turns used. Look at what changes after your first action. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Use the example below to understand a decision.

Build familiarity through play

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Keep the objective visible.

Your objective

Match all eight pairs. Your result is the number of two-card turns used. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

The playing sequence

  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.

Controls

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.

Follow the example

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 common point of confusion

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