Try a more deliberate round
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Make the next step deliberately.
The purpose of your moves
Fill the square target with seven pieces, without gaps or overlap. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.
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.
How to use the controls
Mouse/touch dragging and rotate/flip buttons. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. A new-round button replaces the current round.
A closer look at one example
The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Verify the rule before continuing.
Keep this in mind
Overlaps do not count as filling the target. A different version of the game may use a different rule. 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.
