I say it to myself so there is a visual and word clue in my head. When I start to open things on the third column I don't worry about trying to remember those, I just compare against the previous two columns that I did memorize and make any matches. As I move on to the fourth and further columns I do start remembering the objects that I uncovered in the third and other columns. There is something about not stressing too much to hold too many in your memory and being able to reduce some on the board that makes it go faster.

I never end up clicking on object more than 2 or 3 times to make a match which makes a difference in time. I've tried the cheats recommended on this forum like taking a screen shot etc but that takes me far, far more time and just never works for me.

Ancient cards is the only puzzle that I have to really concentrate on. If my mind wanders or someone interrupts me, I can easily get the locations mixed up and not be able to finish. That's exactly how I do it. :)
