How to play Memory Pairs
Bring your attention to one round of Memory Pairs. Match all eight pairs. Your result is the number of two-card turns used. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
A careful first round
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Match all eight pairs. Your result is the number of two-card turns used. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Take a moment to understand the current position.
Step by step
- Turn over any face-down card.
- Choose a second card. Equal symbols stay visible.
- Unequal cards turn back after a short pause.
- Continue until every pair is visible.
Controls
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
A useful example
Seeing a star at the top left and another star in the bottom row gives you a matching pair on a later turn. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Take a moment to compare.
Watch out for this
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. 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.
