A closer look at one example

Turn over one card, remember its position, then choose a second. A matching pair stays found; a mismatch is hidden again. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the game’s format in mind.

An important reminder

You cannot turn a third card while a mismatched pair is still being shown. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
