Memory lays out a grid of face-down cards hiding pairs of identical pictures. You flip two at a time, and matched pairs stay revealed while mismatches turn back over. Recalling where each card sits is the key to clearing the board in as few flips as possible.
How to play Memory
- Flip one card to reveal its picture
- Flip a second card to try to match the first
- Keep matched pairs face up and remember mismatched positions
- Use your memory to pair cards you have already seen
- Clear the whole board by matching every pair
Tips & strategy
- Flip a brand-new card first so a mismatch still teaches you a location
- Build a mental map of the grid by its rows and columns
- Chase a confirmed pair the moment you have seen both halves
Controls: Click or tap a card to flip it face up.
