How to interact with the game

Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

Work through an example

Turn over one card, remember its position, then choose a second. A matching pair stays found; a mismatch is hidden again. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Look for the relevant detail.

Notice this detail

You cannot turn a third card while a mismatched pair is still being shown. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
