Know the goal in Memory Pairs

Choose a round of Memory Pairs and settle into its rules. Match all eight pairs. Your result is the number of two-card turns used. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

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. Notice the feedback after each input.

What the game asks you to do

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. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

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.

Your inputs

Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

See how the rules apply

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. Read the matching step again.

Watch out for this

You cannot turn a third card while a mismatched pair is still being shown. Check the rule before repeating the action. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
