A careful first round

Your goal
Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.
Step by step
- Choose a tile with no covering tile and a free left or right side.
- Choose a matching free tile.
- Uncover lower layers.
- Use hints or undo.
Controls
Tap two free matching tiles. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
A useful example
Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the controls nearby.
Watch out for this
Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. 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.
