How to play Meaning Match
Meaning Match is a memory card game. Twelve cards lie face down: six show an English word and six show a meaning. Turn over two at a time to find the pairs. To win, you need to know what the words mean and remember where each card is.
- Choose a difficulty and level. Each round has 6 words and their 6 meanings.
- Click or tap a card to turn it over, then pick a second card.
- If the word and the meaning belong together, both stay face up and you score 15 points. If not, they turn back over, so remember where they were.
- Match all six pairs to finish the round.
What you practise
- Knowing exactly what common words mean
- Telling apart words with similar meanings
- Reading definitions quickly
- Memory and concentration
Levels, stars and saving your progress
Meaning Match has 75 levels: 24 at Basic, 31 at Intermediate and 20 at Advanced, with 6 word–meaning pairs in each. Levels unlock in order: pass one to open the next.
A round ends when all six pairs are matched, which clears the level and unlocks the next one. Wrong guesses cost nothing but time, so every finished round earns three stars. Each pair you match scores 15 points.
Your stars and unlocked levels are saved in this browser as you play. Sign in or create a free account to save them to your account as well, so you can carry on from another device. Every level you finish also appears on your dashboard, with a report of every answer.
