How to play Memory Match

All the cards are face down. Turn over two at a time and find the matching pairs.

Goal

Find every matching pair of cards in as few moves as you can.

All cards start face down. Click a card to flip it.
Flip a second card. If the two match, they stay face up. If not, they flip back.
Each pair of flips counts as one move.
Solve the board by matching every pair. Solving it within about 1.6 moves per pair counts as an efficient board.
Your best moves and time for each difficulty are saved as personal bests.

Remember card positions as you go. Flipping a new card is a fair way to explore early on.
In Survival mode, more than 3 moves per pair ends the game.
On Easy and Medium, the peek hint briefly shows every card, but it lowers your score.

Every solved board is worth 100 points, scaled by difficulty (Easy ×0.8 up to Expert ×1.6).
Finishing quickly adds 25 points, an efficient board (about 1.6 moves per pair or fewer) adds 20, and each efficient board in a row adds 15 (up to 10).
Using the peek hint halves the points for that board. Hints are only available on Easy and Medium.
