How to play

  1. Choose Easy for 12 cards, Normal for 16 or Hard for 24.
  2. Open two cards at a time. Matching letters stay face up; different letters turn back after a brief delay.
  3. Find every pair to finish. Compare your time and attempt count, then try a newly shuffled board.

Good to know

An attempt is counted when you open the second card. Cards you have already matched cannot be selected again.

Every round is shuffled. Pausing hides the cards and also freezes the delay before unmatched cards turn back.

Play without signing in or submitting a score.

Memory Match · Rules and strategy

Memory match is a game of remembering where matching pictures are hidden. It works well for short rounds, and larger boards reward grouping positions in your mind. Watch your number of attempts as well as elapsed time.

Rules and controls

Reveal one card, then a different card. A matching pair stays open; a mismatch turns face down after a short pause. Selecting the same card twice cannot form a pair. Find every pair to finish.

A useful first strategy

Explore the board in a consistent order and associate each picture with its position. When a familiar picture appears, check the partner you remember rather than repeatedly guessing two unknown cards.

Worked example

If you saw a star in the top-left corner and later find another star at the bottom-right, select those two positions on your next attempt. Even a mismatch can provide useful information.

Frequently asked questions

Why can I not click during a mismatch?

Input pauses briefly so you can see the two revealed pictures. Wait for them to close before selecting the next pair. Accurate memory helps more than rapid clicking.
