I literally go through every item in the location, one by one - usually starting at the bottom left and going clockwise. If they light up, I look for an obvious match. Often, the 'pair' is about an inch away on the screen.

If the item is trickier to see, I move on to the next item and make a mental note of the one I need to come back to later (when the 'board' is more clear and maybe I might have spotted the pair as I go along).

I essentially do the same with morphs by the way - they never seem to actually change quickly enough to spot, so I just click them at random.

Obviously you don't want to go too quickly or else you get time penalties - but the method is so quick that even a couple of penalties totalling 25 seconds don't seem to make much difference.
