How to play memory match

Train your memory online

Memory match (also called concentration) is a card game that rewards focus more than speed. Every card starts face down, and the only way to know where a symbol sits is to have seen it before—so the game is really about how much of the board you can hold in your head at once.

This version uses emoji symbols instead of image files, so the board loads instantly with no downloads and works the same on a phone as on a desktop.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best memory match strategy?
Sweep the board in a fixed order during the opening instead of clicking randomly, so you always know which positions you have already seen.
Should I match early or gather information first?
Gather information. Early flips are most valuable as reconnaissance; a match made from a guess often costs two turns you could have used to learn new positions.
What are the grid sizes?
Easy is a 4×3 grid of twelve cards, medium is 4×4 with sixteen cards, and hard is 6×4 with twenty-four cards.
