An idea for your next attempt

Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Make the next step deliberately.

Understand the aim

Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.

Work through the instructions

  1. Choose a tile with no covering tile and a free left or right side.
  2. Choose a matching free tile.
  3. Uncover lower layers.
  4. Use hints or undo.

Choosing and moving on screen

Tap two free matching tiles. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.

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.

Where a round can go wrong

Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Compare the situation with the worked example. 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.
