How to approach it
- 1Scan in a fixed pattern, row by row, so no area is checked twice or missed.
- 2Compare candidates with the target one feature at a time; near-matches usually differ in a single detail.
- 3Make accuracy steady first, then raise your pace once false matches stop.
Common mistakes
- Accepting a near-match that differs by one character, shape or orientation.
- Speeding up straight after a mistake, which tends to cause the next one.
