Know the goal in Memory Pairs

Start Memory Pairs by looking at the playing area and its controls. 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. Use the example below to understand a decision.

A small practice goal

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

The objective of a round

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.

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.

Making selections and moves

Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Use the control method described here for this activity. A new-round button replaces the current round.

Put the rules into context

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.

An important reminder

You cannot turn a third card while a mismatched pair is still being shown. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. 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.
