Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Make the next step deliberately.
The objective of a round
Match all eight pairs. Your result is the number of two-card turns used. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
The playing sequence
- Turn over any face-down card.
- Choose a second card. Equal symbols stay visible.
- Unequal cards turn back after a short pause.
- Continue until every pair is visible.
Making selections and moves
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Use one clear input at a time.
A closer look at one example
Seeing a star at the top left and another star in the bottom row gives you a matching pair on a later turn. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Look for the relevant detail.
A common point of confusion
You cannot turn a third card while a mismatched pair is still being shown. Compare the situation with the worked example. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
