  4. Use hints or undo.

How to interact with the game

Tap two free matching tiles. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use one clear input at a time.

One way to understand the rules

Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Notice the change in the playing area.

One detail worth checking

Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
