Your current puzzle and best results save on this device when browser storage is available.
Tap two cards to reveal their pictures. Matching pairs stay face up. Different pictures turn back over after one second; wait until they close before choosing again. One turn means revealing two cards. The same card cannot count twice.
Start with six pairs and work up through eight, ten, twelve and sixteen. You can also choose any board size and press New board. Complete a board to unlock the next-level button. Your best result is the lowest turn count for each board size; a perfect board takes one turn per pair.
Your matched pairs and turn count save automatically. When you return, any unmatched pictures are face down again. There is no timer or claim that this measures or improves memory health.
