A card or two cards may be removed if they are between two cards of the same suit or rank. To remove a card, click it. To remove a pair of cards, click them one by one.

In Figure, you can remove 5 and 2 because they are between the cards of the same rank (Spades). Also you can remove 10 because it is between the cards of the same value (Twos).

After the cards are removed, the remaining cards are shifted to close the gaps.
