Easy memory match tips
Easy grid: twelve cards, six pairs
The easy board is a 4×3 grid—twelve cards making six pairs. That is small enough to memorise completely in about four or five turns, which makes it the best place to learn the habits that pay off on larger grids.
Start in the top-left corner and sweep row by row rather than clicking at random. Order matters: when you flip two unknown cards you learn two positions, and a predictable path means you always know which positions you have already seen.
When you find a match, keep going instead of stopping to celebrate. The move counter is the only score here, and clearing twelve cards in eight or nine moves is a solid result on this size.
