Getting started with Memory Pairs
Read the aim of Memory Pairs, then make your first move. Match all eight pairs. Your result is the number of two-card turns used. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Check the rule that explains your first action. Look at what changes after your first action.
Give this approach a try
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Use the example to check your reasoning.
What you are aiming for
Match all eight pairs. Your result is the number of two-card turns used. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
Start here and follow along
- 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.
How to use the controls
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Use the control method described here for this activity. Use one clear input at a time.
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. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Take a moment to compare.
Avoid this misunderstanding
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.
