Memory matching game

The job

Concentration trains short-term recall: flip a card, remember it, find its pair. A solo version removes the waiting and tracks how efficiently you clear the board.

Play

Pick easy (6 pairs), normal (8), or hard (12). Flip two cards; matching pairs stay face-up, misses flip back after a beat. Moves are counted; a new game reshuffles.

Each pair of flips counts as one move regardless of match.
The hard board at 24 cards needs real tracking — work in regions.

Worked example

An easy 12-card board typically clears in 10–20 moves; a lucky perfect run is 6.

Where it stops

Solo play only — no multiplayer, leaderboards, or persistence across visits. Card faces are simple symbols; there are no themes. Best-move counts are not saved between sessions.
