  3. A miss flips both back after a moment, so remember them.
  4. Clear all ten pairs in as few moves as you can.

Tips for a better score

  • Flip a card you've never seen first; if you remember its partner, go straight to it, otherwise turn another new card to learn more.
  • Each pair adds 50 points that never drain away, while the rest of your score drops by five every second, so a steady pace pays.
  • Don't guess to keep a combo going; the combo is just for show, and every wrong pair costs 25 points, as much as five seconds.
  • On a keyboard the cursor wraps around the edges, so pressing up on the top row jumps straight to the bottom card in that column.

About Match Pairs

Match Pairs is a memory game with twenty face-down cards hiding ten pairs of shapes. Flip two at a time; a match stays open, a miss flips back. Fewer moves and less time mean a higher score, and matching several pairs in a row builds a combo.
