See the idea in action
Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Read the matching step again.
Keep this in mind
Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Compare the situation with the worked example. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
