The purpose of your moves

- 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

An example to follow
Turn over one card, remember its position, then choose a second. A matching pair stays found; a mismatch is hidden again. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Notice the change in the playing area.
Pay attention to this rule
You cannot turn a third card while a mismatched pair is still being shown. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
