Ancient cards AC and Haunted Lights, for me at least, are just make it or just muss it and get more time. The magnifying glass flips over all cards in the game. It was suggested to used the mag glass and take a photo (search ac recent posts for instructions). Pause game, figure moves go. It takes alot of time to flip cards and flip them back. You can't click cards while they are flipped over. In other games it gives you pairs, but not this one. I play a few games with memory flip cards and you do get better slowly. In Letters from Nowhere, you have limited moves and no time limit. When I got to a certain level, working in paired columns worked better than rows. Don't play AC in SN enough to know if it is the same, thus my question. I find that flipping cards rapidly, trying to remember general region a card first appears helps. Once I flip a card that I remember seeing before, I flip the cards rapidly in the area I remember it from. I often flip past the card I need if it was the first card of a pair of cards flipped. Once I know where the card is, I make the pair. If I saw a card that matched something else as I did my fast flip, I fast flip the region where I remember its pair. If not, I continue the pattern of paired columns until I find next card I think I remember seeing. Since the number of flips doesn't count, only time, the more often I see cards during fast flipping, the more likely I am to remember its general region. At the moment, I usually finish with a few seconds left. If not, I add time. If anyone else has a strategy, I would love to know.
