Memory
About Memory
Card pairs face down in a grid, turned over two at a time until everything is matched, is a format old enough that the only real variables are grid size and how much the artwork helps you remember. Cheerful cartoon icons here are distinct enough from one another that a card seen once tends to stay placed, which makes the larger grids fair rather than exhausting. Nothing has been added on top of the classic rules. As a short brain-training filler it does exactly what it says, and no more than that.
How to Play
- Click a card to turn it face up.
- Turn a second card to see whether the pair matches.
- Remember the positions of cards that did not match.
- Work through one region of the grid before opening cards elsewhere.
Memory FAQ
Is there a strategy beyond remembering?
Opening cards in a consistent order helps more than most players expect. Turning over cards at random makes recall harder than working through the grid region by region, because it gives your memory no structure to hang the positions on.
