Understand the aim
Fill the square target with seven pieces, without gaps or overlap. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.
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.
Your inputs
Mouse/touch dragging and rotate/flip buttons. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
An example before you play
The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Read the matching step again.
Avoid this misunderstanding
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.
