Play Memory Pairs with the rules at hand

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. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

A focus for your next round

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Make the next step deliberately.

What counts as success

Match all eight pairs. Your result is the number of two-card turns used. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. The example below illustrates a decision.

The steps to play

  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.

How to interact with the game

Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use one clear input at a time.

An example to follow

Seeing a star at the top left and another star in the bottom row gives you a matching pair on a later turn. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the controls nearby.

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.
