One way to understand the rules
Turn over one card, remember its position, then choose a second. A matching pair stays found; a mismatch is hidden again. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. 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. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
