How to play
Choose a region and 3, 6, 8, 12 or 16 pairs, where the collection has enough states. Turn over two cards. Every revealed card shows a state and its capital together. Identical cards form a pair and stay visible; different cards turn face down again. Find every pair and learn the capitals as you play. The timer starts with your first move and stops when paused. Keyboard: Tab or arrows select a card; Enter or Space flips it. Switching language or refreshing preserves your game. Test what you learned in the separate U.S. capitals quiz.
