#Some say that the maror should be placed on top of the matza <ref> Moadim U'zmanim Haggada page 107 because the gemara says he wraps the matza and maror not that he wraps one in the other. </ref>, some say to wrap the matza in maror <ref> Rabbeinu Chananel Pesachim 115a, Sefer Hachinuch mitzva 21. </ref> while some say to place the maror between the matzas. <ref> Aruch Hashulchan 475:7, Kitzur S"A 119:7. </ref> All of these methods are valid. <ref> Haggadat Moadim U'Zmanim page 107. The Mishnat Yaakov 475 explains that the reason the custom changed from wrapping the matza in maror to putting the maror between the matzas is that people started to use horseradish for maror instead of romaine lettuce. </ref>

# Sephardim should say the words “Zecher LeMikdash KeHillel”. <Ref>S”A 475:1, Darchei Moshe 475:3 quoting the Maharil. Biur Halacha 475:1 D”H VeOmer asks on the source for this practice, and says that perhaps there’s no reason. He also wonders why this is not considered a break, which the Shulchan Aruch says one shouldn't have between the hamotzi before the first matza eating and the korech. He gives two potential answers to this. According to the first answer, really the S"A wasn't careful with the order he put it in, and one should really eat and then say it. The second answer is that we should change the language of the S"A and you're not really supposed to say it at all. He leaves both questions unresolved. However, Sh”t Yachava Daat 1:19 and Sh”t Chazon Ovadyah 1:41 writes that this is the proper practice. Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik quoted in Harirei Kedem 2:93 explains that really korech isn't part of the obligations of matza and maror but is just an independent expression of remembering the temple and there would then be no problem of a break. He says though, that Rav Chaim Soloveitchik would not interrupt between motzi matza and the matza of afikoman in accordance with the ruling of the Shl"a.  </ref> Ashkenazim should say זֵכֶר לְמִקְדָּשׁ כְּהִלֵּל. כֵּן עָשָׂה הִלֵּל בִּזְמַן שבֵּית הַמִּקְדָּשׁ הָיָה קַיָים: הָיָה כּוֹרֵךְ מַצָּה וּמָרוֹר וְאוֹכֵל בְּיַחַד <ref>Mishna Brurah 475:21, S"A Harav 475:18.  </ref>
