A focus for your next round
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Notice the feedback after each input.
Understand the aim
Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
The steps to play
- 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.
How your actions work
Tap two free matching tiles. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
A useful example
Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Check this before moving on
Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
