A useful comparison

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Make the next step deliberately.

Your goal

Match all eight pairs. Your result is the number of two-card turns used. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

Step by step

  1. Turn over any face-down card.
  2. Choose a second card. Equal symbols stay visible.
  3. Unequal cards turn back after a short pause.
  4. Continue until every pair is visible.

Controls

Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Use the control method described here for this activity. Check any mode label before starting.

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. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Read the matching step again.

Watch out for this

You cannot turn a third card while a mismatched pair is still being shown. Compare the situation with the worked example. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
