Memory Match Guide
Flip cards and find matching pairs, with move count, timer and difficulty levels.
A short companion for Memory Match: when it is useful, what it expects, and what to check before using the result.
What it does
A memory game with three board sizes. Cards start face down; flip two at a time and a matching pair stays up. The page counts your moves and times the round from the first flip to the last pair, so you can see whether a bigger board costs you speed or accuracy. Symbols are shuffled on every new game.

Questions
What do the difficulty levels change?
Only the number of pairs. Easy is a 4 × 4 board with eight pairs, Medium is 6 × 4 with twelve, and Hard is 6 × 6 with eighteen. More pairs mean more to remember at once, not a stricter rule set.
When does the timer start?
On your first flip, not when the page loads, so thinking time before you begin is not counted. It stops the moment the final pair is matched.
Why did my two cards turn back over?
They were not a pair. A mismatch is shown for a moment so you can memorise the symbols, then both cards turn face down again. A matching pair is locked face up.
Does a new game reshuffle the same symbols?
Yes, the same set of symbols is reused but their positions are shuffled every time. Switching difficulty also deals a fresh board immediately.
Is the board different every time?
The shuffle is random on each new game, so no two boards are the same unless you are very unlucky. Nothing about the board is stored or shared.
