Give this approach a try
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Notice the feedback after each input.
Understand the aim
Fill the square target with seven pieces, without gaps or overlap. Read that aim before choosing your first action. The example below illustrates a decision.
Start here and follow along
- Drag a selected piece.
- Rotate in 45-degree steps or flip it.
- Use snapping for precise alignment.
- Check the layout or use one-piece assistance.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Mouse/touch dragging and rotate/flip buttons. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
Put the rules into context
The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Consider the next action carefully.
An important reminder
Overlaps do not count as filling the target. Compare the situation with the worked example. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
