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. Refer to the controls when needed.

The challenge in front of you

Match all eight pairs. Your result is the number of two-card turns used. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.

Making your moves

  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.

How your actions work

Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.

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. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Check the stated objective.

A common point of confusion

You cannot turn a third card while a mismatched pair is still being shown. Check the rule before repeating the action. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
