Slow down the decision
Before each move, ask what information is certain, what is only possible and what consequence the move creates.
Use a repeatable strategy
Use known unmatched cards before opening two completely new cards.
Pause briefly after each turn and mentally review exposed positions.
- Turn cards in a consistent scanning order so locations are easier to remember.
- Say or picture the symbol and its position when a card appears.
Recover from mistakes
A weak move does not always end the round. Reassess the board, protect the most important area and avoid compounding one mistake with another rushed decision.
What to avoid
Use these mistakes as a quick checklist before important moves.
- Clicking too quickly before observing both cards.
- Changing your scanning pattern every turn.
