A small practice goal

What the game asks you to do
Fill the square target with seven pieces, without gaps or overlap. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Notice how the game responds to your input.
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.
Choosing and moving on screen
Mouse/touch dragging and rotate/flip buttons. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
One way to understand the rules
The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Check the stated objective.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Overlaps do not count as filling the target. Compare the situation with the worked example. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
