A useful example
Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Look for the relevant detail.

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.
