Practice with a purpose
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your objective
Fill the square target with seven pieces, without gaps or overlap. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Notice how the game responds to your input.
Making your moves
- 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 your actions work
Mouse/touch dragging and rotate/flip buttons. Read a button’s label before selecting it. A new-round button replaces the current round.
Learn from a sample situation
The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Read the matching step again.
A useful caution
Overlaps do not count as filling the target. Check the rule before repeating the action. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
