How to Play: Step-by-Step

Once you have the game open, playing Memory Match involves a clear sequence of actions:

1. Flip the First Card: Tap or click any card on the board to turn it face up. Observe the image, it will be a U.S. landmark or symbol.
2. Flip the Second Card: Immediately after, tap or click another card. This card will also turn face up, revealing its image.
3. Check for a Match:
   • If the cards match: The two identical cards will stay face up and remain on the board. They are now considered "cleared."
   • If the cards do not match: Both cards will automatically flip back face down after a short pause. Remember their locations, as you will need to find their partners later.
4. Continue Matching: Repeat steps 1-3, trying to remember the positions of cards you have already seen. Use this memory to strategically find pairs.
5. Clear the Board: The game continues until all pairs have been found and all cards are cleared from the board. Your score is based on the total number of moves you made to clear the board; fewer moves indicate better memory and strategy.

If you wish to start over or play another round after completing a board, simply locate the "New Game" button. Tapping or clicking this button will reshuffle all the cards and present a fresh puzzle for you to solve.
