- Use hints or undo.
The controls to know
Tap two free matching tiles. Use the control method described here for this activity. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
Learn from a sample situation
Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the controls nearby.
An important reminder
Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
