How This Works

Each card has a unique word associated with it. These names (and the associated image) makes the card easier to picture and remember. Each card's name includes two sounds. The Suit defines the first letter or sound. The next sound is determined by the card's Rank (except for face cards, which are special). An entire deck of cards can be remembered by creating a story in your mind: The cat chases the bride who throws her flowers to Elvis...
