Memory Pairs

Find every pair of matching cards.

How to play

  1. Flip two hidden cards by tapping them or activating their buttons with Enter or Space. Arrow keys move between available cards. Remember each number and its position.
  2. Matching cards stay face up. If the cards do not match, study them and choose Turn cards over before flipping another card.
  3. The board completes when every card belongs to a matched pair.

Head-to-head rules

Match all eight pairs before your opponent. Both players get the same puzzle and start together, with 2 minutes to finish. Completion time decides the match; fewer moves or a higher solo score do not beat an earlier correct finish. Finishes within 0.1 seconds draw. If neither player finishes before time runs out, the match is a draw.

Your moves and answers stay private. Leaving through the game controls forfeits the match; closing the page does not pause its clock.

Real-player matches update this game's own Elo rating. Daily and practice results keep their separate progress and never change Elo.
