How to play Memory Pairs
Start Memory Pairs by looking at the playing area and its controls. Match all eight pairs. Your result is the number of two-card turns used. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Keep the aim in sight
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal

A useful example
Seeing a star at the top left and another star in the bottom row gives you a matching pair on a later turn. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
You cannot turn a third card while a mismatched pair is still being shown. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
