Flip the cards, remember what's underneath, and clear the board by finding every pair.
Tap, click, or use Tab and Enter to flip two cards. The completion timer starts with your first flip. If the symbols match, they stay face-up. If they don't, they flip back and it's the next attempt. Clear the whole board by matching every pair — try to do it in as few moves as possible.
Easy uses a smaller 3x4 grid for quick rounds, Medium is the standard 4x4 grid, and Hard steps up to a 4x6 grid for a real memory challenge. Your best move count is tracked separately for each difficulty.
Work through the board in a consistent order — like left to right, top to bottom — rather than clicking randomly, so you remember what you've already seen. Try grouping the cards mentally into rows of three or four instead of memorising all of them individually. Flip the corner and edge cards first — they're easier to keep track of visually than cards near the center.
How many pairs are in each difficulty? Easy has 6 pairs, Medium has 8, and Hard has 12.
Does my best score carry over between difficulties? No — each difficulty level tracks its own separate best move count.
Is there a time limit? There is no countdown limit. Your completion time is tracked from the first flip and shown at the end.
Work through the board in a repeatable order, such as one row at a time. After a mismatch, name both symbols and their positions before flipping another pair. Remembering that you saw a star is less useful than remembering where that star was. When you reveal the partner of a card you already know, use that information before exploring two new locations.
You remember a moon in row one, column two. Later, your first flip reveals a moon in row three, column four. Use the second flip on the known location in row one, column two. Exploring an unfamiliar card instead wastes the chance to complete a pair and gives you another location to memorise. If you are uncertain about the first moon’s location, keep the two positions separate rather than inventing a memory.
The completion timer starts on the first flip. There is no countdown that forces a fast answer. A move is a two-card attempt, and best move counts are stored separately for the different grid sizes. Keyboard users can Tab to cards and use Enter to flip them.
