Suggestion for readers: Give numbers 1 and 2 to the two puzzles. Within each puzzle, label horizontal matches first a, b, c etc., then the uprights below that d, e, f etc., then start the next horizontals with the next letter and so on downwards.
Then speak of “take h (for example), place between m and n” … that sort of explanation.
in one, move match o to empty space ‘g’ to make 9 – 9 = 0
