Give this approach a try
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Keep the objective visible.
Your goal
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. Check the rules when you are unsure.
How a round unfolds
- 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.
Making selections and moves
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.
Work through an example
Seeing a star at the top left and another star in the bottom row gives you a matching pair on a later turn. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Verify the rule before continuing.
A mistake to avoid
You cannot turn a third card while a mismatched pair is still being shown. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
