How to play Memory Match
Turn over two cards at a time and remember what you saw. Matching pairs stay face up; everything else flips back. Clear the board in as few flips as you can.
-
Flip a card
Tap any face-down card to turn it over.
-
Flip a second one
If the two match, they stay up. If they do not, both turn back over after a moment - long enough to see them, short enough to keep moving.
-
Remember the near misses
The card you turned over by accident is the one that wins you the next pair. Pairs you flip and lose are counted as wasted flips and cost a little score.
-
Clear every pair
The board is done when nothing is face down. There is no limit on flips and no way to fail it - only a score that rewards a sharp memory.
Memory Match difficulty levels
Four tiers, switchable on this page at any time. Nothing is locked, and a harder board is worth more when you finish it.
- Easy
- 6 pairs, 12 cards. Short enough to hold the whole board in your head.
- Medium
- 8 pairs, 16 cards. Two rows you can still picture, and two you will have to work at.
- Hard
- 10 pairs, 20 cards. Around here most people start needing a system.
- Expert
- 12 pairs, 24 cards - the biggest deck, and the one where guessing stops working.
Memory Match tips
-
Work a corner, not the middle
Turning cards in a fixed order - left to right, top row first - gives your memory a map. Random flipping gives it nothing to hang on to.
-
Say what you see
Naming a symbol as you turn it over ("star, top left") is much easier to recall than a picture you only glanced at.
-
Use your free flips early
Nothing is at stake on the first few turns, so spend them learning the board rather than hoping for a pair.
-
Chase the pair you know
The moment a flip matches something you have already seen, take it. Holding a known pair back to go hunting is how people forget it.
Memory Match questions
Can I lose this one?
No. There is no mistake limit and no clock running out. Wasted flips reduce the score, nothing more.
Does it count toward my streak?
Yes. Finishing any puzzle on the site keeps your streak going, and this is usually the quickest one to finish.
Why do the cards flip back so fast?
Fast enough to keep the game moving, slow enough to read. The pace is the same on every tier, so what changes between them is only the size of the deck.
Scoring, streaks and levels work the same way on every game and are explained on the about page.
