Memory Match
A two-minute break between tasks: turn over two cards at a time and find every pair. Unlock 12 levels, or play today's board and keep your streak going.
How to play
Every card has a twin somewhere on the board. Turn one over, then another. If they match, they stay face up; if not, they turn back after a moment, so try to remember where each picture was. The board is finished when every pair is face up.
Levels and stars
Level 1 has just three pairs and takes under a minute. Each level adds pairs, up to 18 on Level 12, and where a board size comes round again, the cards lose their colours so only the shapes tell them apart. Finish a level to unlock the next. Stars depend on how few moves you needed, and you can replay any level to improve them.
The daily board
There's a new 8-pair board every day at midnight, your time. Finish it on consecutive days to build a streak, then copy your result to compare with friends.
Questions
Where is my progress saved?
Only in this browser on this device, in its local storage. Nothing is sent to us, and there's no account, so your levels won't follow you to another phone or browser. Clearing this site's data or cookies resets the game to Level 1.
How are stars worked out?
From the number of moves; a move is turning over two cards. Someone who remembers every card they've seen needs about 1.6 moves per pair, so finishing at or under that gets three stars, a few extra moves gets two, and finishing at all gets one. There's no time limit.
What is the daily board?
One 16-card board a day, the same for everyone on the same date. Your first finish each day counts toward your streak; play it again for fun if you like, but only the first result counts. Miss a day and the streak starts again.
Can I play with a keyboard?
Yes. Tab to the board, move between cards with the arrow keys, and press Enter or Space to turn one over. Screen readers announce each card and each pair you find.
