One thing to notice as you play
When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your objective
Match all eight pairs. Your result is the number of two-card turns used. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Take a moment to understand the current position.
From the start of a round
- 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.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
Try this example
Seeing a star at the top left and another star in the bottom row gives you a matching pair on a later turn. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Notice the change in the playing area.
Where a round can go wrong
You cannot turn a third card while a mismatched pair is still being shown. Compare the situation with the worked example. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
