Bring this focus to a round
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Understand the aim
Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
The playing sequence
- Choose a tile with no covering tile and a free left or right side.
- Choose a matching free tile.
- Uncover lower layers.
- Use hints or undo.
Making selections and moves
Tap two free matching tiles. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use one clear input at a time.
Follow the example
Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Choose a deliberate next step.
Where a round can go wrong
Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
