Try a deliberate move
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Your goal

Step by step
- Start a round and watch the highlighted cells.

Controls
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Use the control method described here for this activity. Look at the feedback after the action.
A useful example
If the four corner squares were shown, select those four corners in any order. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Watch out for this
Unlike Sequence Memory, this game does not require the original order. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
