Learn from a sample situation
Turn over one card, remember its position, then choose a second. A matching pair stays found; a mismatch is hidden again. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Notice the change in the playing area.
Avoid this misunderstanding
You cannot turn a third card while a mismatched pair is still being shown. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
