What you need to achieve
Fill the square target with seven pieces, without gaps or overlap. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
How to proceed
- 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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use one clear input at a time.
Follow the example
The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Notice this detail
Overlaps do not count as filling the target. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
