Memory Pairs: instructions and practice
Open Memory Pairs, check the instructions and begin a round. Match all eight pairs. Your result is the number of two-card turns used. Use the example below to understand a decision. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Give this approach a try
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Refer to the controls when needed.
The goal to keep in mind
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. The example below illustrates a decision.
A walkthrough of the rules
- 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.
Making selections and moves
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
A useful example
Turn over one card, remember its position, then choose a second. A matching pair stays found; a mismatch is hidden again. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Notice the change in the playing area.
Check this before moving on
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. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
