Practice with a purpose
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Notice the feedback after each input.
The objective of a round
Fill the square target with seven pieces, without gaps or overlap. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.
How a round unfolds
- 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 interact with the game
Mouse/touch dragging and rotate/flip buttons. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
Learn from a sample situation
The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Take a moment to compare.
A common point of confusion
Overlaps do not count as filling the target. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
