How to play
- Paste your word and definition pairs, one per line, formatted as "word | definition".
- Tap Build the board to shuffle every card into a face-down grid.
- Tap two cards to flip them — a true pair locks in green, a mismatch flips back.
- Keep matching until every pair is locked; the attempts counter tracks the whole round.
Vocabulary Match turns any list of word and definition pairs into a self-checking memory game in seconds. Paste your terms as "word | definition", one pair per line, and the board shuffles every word and every definition into its own face-down card, so no two cards ever sit next to their true partner. Students flip two cards at a time: a matching word and definition lock in green and stay revealed, while a mismatch flips back after a beat so the next guess starts fresh. An attempts counter tracks progress the whole way, and the board celebrates once every last pair is found. Duplicate words are quietly skipped when you build the board, so every card is guaranteed exactly one correct partner and the round always has a solution.
Frequently asked questions
- What happens if I paste the same word twice?
- Duplicate words are automatically skipped (case-insensitive) when the board builds, so every card that appears is guaranteed to have exactly one correct partner.
- Is the board always solvable?
- Yes — every pair always produces exactly two cards, so the deck size is always even and a perfect matching sequence always exists no matter how many pairs you add.
- Can I see how many tries it took?
- Yes, the attempts counter below the grid increases every time you flip a second card, whether it's a match or not, so you can compare rounds or track improvement.
