- Match every pair to win. Press “New game” to deal again.
Notes

- Best records are stored per difficulty in this browser’s local storage. They are not carried over if you clear site data or switch browsers or devices. In private windows or other environments that cannot store data, records last only while the page is open.

FAQ
How are moves and time counted?
One move is counted each time you flip two cards. The time runs from the moment you flip the first card until the last pair is matched. After you press “New game”, the clock does not start until you flip a card.
How many cards and pairs does each difficulty have?
Easy has 12 cards (6 pairs), Medium has 16 (8 pairs) and Hard has 30 (15 pairs). The pictures for each game are picked at random from a larger set, so you are very unlikely to get the same layout twice.
Where are my best records stored?
In your browser’s local storage, as the fewest moves and shortest time for each difficulty. They are not sent to any server, so clearing site data or opening the page in another browser or device starts you from scratch.
Are best moves and best time updated separately?
Yes. If you set a new low move count but finish slower than your best time, only the moves record changes. The two records do not have to come from the same game.
What if I click again before a mismatched pair flips back?
You do not have to wait. The two visible cards flip back immediately and the card you clicked becomes your new first card, which keeps the pace quick.
