Play notes

  • The timer starts on the first card flip, so you can look over the board before beginning.
  • Matched cards stay open, which helps you build a mental map of the remaining cards.
  • Your best result is saved locally on your device, not in an online account.

Strategy tips

  • Scan the board in rows instead of tapping randomly.
  • When two cards do not match, say their locations quietly in your head before they turn back over.
  • Try to improve one metric at a time: fewer moves first, faster time second.
