Take a closer look while playing

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

  1. Turn over any face-down card.
  2. Choose a second card. Equal symbols stay visible.
  3. Unequal cards turn back after a short pause.
  4. 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.
