A match brick has three to five pairs. The right column is shuffled; link each left item to its partner.

## When to use it

* Words and meanings, terms and definitions, symbols and names.
* Set `leftLang` or `rightLang` when a column is in another language, so browsers and screen readers treat it as that language.
