The goal

Find every matching pair of cards in as few moves and as little time as you can.

Playing

All the cards start face down. Every picture is on exactly two cards.
Tap a card to turn it over, then tap a second one.
If the two match, they stay face up. If not, they turn back over after a moment, so remember where they were.
Tap another card while a wrong pair is showing to turn it back straight away.

Scoring

Each pair of cards you turn over is one move. The clock starts with your first card.
Your best time and fewest moves are kept for each difficulty.

Difficulty

Easy has 6 pairs, Normal has 8 and Hard has 15.

Keyboard

On a computer, use the arrow keys to move between cards and Enter or Space to turn one over.
