How to play Memory Grid

  1. Press I'm ready — the grid appears only after that.
  2. Pick a difficulty: Easy uses a 4×4 grid (3 cells) with a 7-second guess timer; Hard and Expert use a 5×5 grid (5 and 6 cells) with a 10-second guess timer. Easy, Hard, and Expert still use a 2-second preview. Medium is the default and stays on a 4×4 grid, but preview time and block count scale with your current streak: 0–10 is 3s and 4 cells, 11–20 is 2.5s and 5 cells, 21–30 is 2s and 6 cells, 31–40 is 1.5s and 6 cells, and 41+ is 1s and 6 cells. You can change difficulty anytime — each difficulty keeps its own streak and best score.
  3. Memorize the highlighted cells during the preview. A circular timer shows how long you have left.
  4. When the highlights vanish, tap the cells you remember before the guess timer runs out. Marking is a plain toggle and the order you tap in never matters.
  5. The counter above the grid shows how many cells you have marked against the target. As soon as you mark the required number, the pattern submits automatically.
  6. An exact match extends your streak, then a 1-second pause while the next grid loads. A wrong set or running out of time ends the run.

There is no points score — a run is measured by its streak, meaning how many patterns you reproduced exactly in a row before the first mistake. The pattern submits automatically once the required number of cells are marked, and it only passes on an exact set match, so a single wrong cell ends the run at once. Failing the very first pattern finishes on a streak of 0. Running out of the guess timer counts as a miss (7 seconds on Easy and Medium, 10 seconds on Hard and Expert). Each difficulty tracks its own in-progress streak and best score independently.
