A useful example
Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Look for the relevant detail.
Watch out for this
Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
