How to play Memory Match
All the cards start face down, and every picture appears on exactly two cards. Tap a card to turn it over, then tap a second card. If the two pictures match, the pair stays face up. If not, both cards turn back over, so try to remember where each picture was. Find every pair to finish the board.
Modes
- Solo: clear the board in as few moves as you can. A move is one pair of cards turned over. You earn up to three stars, and your best moves and time are saved for each board.
- Vs computer: take turns with the computer. Find a pair and you go again. Whoever collects the most pairs wins. The computer remembers most, but not all, of the cards it has seen.
Board sizes
| Board | Cards | Pairs | Three stars |
|---|---|---|---|
| Easy | 12 | 6 | 9 moves or fewer |
| Normal | 16 | 8 | 12 moves or fewer |
| Hard | 20 | 10 | 15 moves or fewer |
| Expert | 30 | 15 | 22 moves or fewer |
Memory tips
- Work in a pattern. Turn cards over row by row instead of jumping around, so locations are easier to remember.
- Say the picture to yourself. Naming each card ("apple, top left") helps it stick.
- Flip an unknown card first. If it matches one you have already seen, you can finish the pair on the same move.
- Against the computer, watch its turns. Every card it turns over is free information for you.
