How to play Memory Match

All the cards start face down. Every card face is dealt exactly twice, so each card has one identical twin with the same rank and the same suit.

Tap two cards to turn them over. If they are twins, they stay face up and count as a match. If they are not, both cards stay visible for a moment, then turn back over. Remember where they were.

Find every pair to clear the board. Choose the 8-pair board (4 by 4) for a quick game or the 12-pair board (6 by 4) for a longer one.

Matching rules and scoring

Cards only match as exact twins: the 7 of Hearts matches the other 7 of Hearts, not the 7 of Diamonds. This is stricter than some memory games that match by rank or color.

Each match pays Neons. Matching pairs back to back builds a combo, and clearing the board without a single miss pays an extra bonus.

Hint only reminds you of cards you have already seen. It never shows a card you haven't turned over, so the game stays a true memory test.

Memory Match tips

• Work in a pattern. Turning cards row by row makes their positions easier to remember than jumping around the board.
• Flip a new card first. If it matches one you have already seen, you can finish the pair on your second tap.
• Say the cards to yourself as they appear, for example "queen of spades, top left". Naming them helps them stick.
• Start on the 8-pair board to warm up, then move to 12 pairs once you can clear the small board with few misses.
• A perfect board needs a bit of luck on the first few flips, so don't worry about an early miss.
