A useful example
Turn over one card, remember its position, then choose a second. A matching pair stays found; a mismatch is hidden again. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the controls nearby.
Watch out for this
You cannot turn a third card while a mismatched pair is still being shown. Compare the situation with the worked example. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
