A practical guide to Memory Pairs

Memory Pairs gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Match all eight pairs. Your result is the number of two-card turns used. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

An idea for your next attempt

Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Refer to the controls when needed.

What you are aiming for

Match all eight pairs. Your result is the number of two-card turns used. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

Follow these playing steps

  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.

The controls to know

Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

Try this 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.

Check this before moving on

You cannot turn a third card while a mismatched pair is still being shown. Compare the situation with the worked example. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
