How to play Flash Memory

A little look.
A lasting picture.

Study the complete pattern together, then recall its positions in any order. The brief reveal is timed; your answers are not.

The little controls

Watch the pattern, then tap each remembered tile. Replay gives one extra look during a campaign attempt.

    Let the tiles disappear

    After a brief dark gap, recall begins. The board no longer shows the answer, and you can take as long as you need.View this step
