See the idea in action
Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Verify the rule before continuing.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
