Something to practise
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.
Your objective
Match all eight pairs. Your result is the number of two-card turns used. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. The example below illustrates a decision.
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.
Using the playing area
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
One way to understand the rules
Turn over one card, remember its position, then choose a second. A matching pair stays found; a mismatch is hidden again. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Choose a deliberate next step.
One detail worth checking
You cannot turn a third card while a mismatched pair is still being shown. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
