Follow the steps for Memory Pairs

Something to practise

Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Use the example to check your reasoning.

The purpose of your moves

Match all eight pairs. Your result is the number of two-card turns used. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Notice how the game responds to your input.

A walkthrough of the rules

  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.

Input guidance

Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Check any mode label before starting.

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. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Look for the relevant detail.

Pay attention to this rule

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. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
