How your actions work

Tap two free matching tiles. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

Put the rules into context

Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Look for the relevant detail.

Keep this in mind

Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
