After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Make the next step deliberately.
Your goal
Match all eight pairs. Your result is the number of two-card turns used. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Notice how the game responds to your input.
Step by step

The controls to know
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Use the control method described here for this activity. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
Follow the example
Seeing a star at the top left and another star in the bottom row gives you a matching pair on a later turn. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Consider the next action carefully.
Where a round can go wrong
You cannot turn a third card while a mismatched pair is still being shown. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
