Try a deliberate move
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Refer to the controls when needed.

Step by step
- Choose a tile with no covering tile and a free left or right side.
- Choose a matching free tile.

- Use hints or undo.
Controls
Tap two free matching tiles. Read a button’s label before selecting it. A new-round button replaces the current round.
A useful example
Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
