About Cards Connect
Cards Connect is a connection-matching puzzle: find pairs of identical cards that can be joined by a path of no more than three straight lines, with no other cards in the way. Each match adds time to the clock, so a good run sustains itself.
The three-line rule is what makes it a puzzle rather than a memory test — two identical cards in plain sight can be unmatched simply because the route between them is too convoluted.

Cards Connect tips
- Work the outer edges first — those paths are shortest and clearest.
- Clearing the outside opens routes through the middle.
- When stuck, look for a pair that needs exactly three lines around an obstacle.
- Speed matters, but a wrong click costs more than a slow correct one.
Cards Connect — questions
What is the three-line rule?
A pair can only be matched if you can draw a path between them using at most three straight segments, without passing through any other card. It's what makes an obviously identical pair sometimes unmatchable.
How do you get more time?
Every successful match adds time to the clock, so a steady run of matches keeps the timer healthy.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes — tap two matching cards. Nothing to install.
