Tips to score higher
- Start in a corner and work across the board in a fixed order, so you always know which cards you have seen.
- Say each picture to yourself as you flip it. Naming it makes it much easier to recall.
- When you flip a card you have seen before, go straight for its twin rather than exploring.
- Aim to finish Medium in under 20 moves; that means you are remembering rather than guessing.
