- Choose a second card. Equal symbols stay visible.

- Continue until every pair is visible.
Controls
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Use the control method described here for this activity. Use one clear input at a time.
A useful 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. Look for the relevant detail.
Watch out for this
You cannot turn a third card while a mismatched pair is still being shown. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
