One thing to notice as you play
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Notice the feedback after each input.
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. Start with a deliberate move.
How to proceed
- 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.
Choosing and moving on screen
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
See the idea in action
Seeing a star at the top left and another star in the bottom row gives you a matching pair on a later turn. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Take a moment to compare.
Watch out for this
You cannot turn a third card while a mismatched pair is still being shown. Check the rule before repeating the action. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
