Input guidance
Mouse/touch dragging and rotate/flip buttons. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
Follow the example
The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Consider the next action carefully.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Overlaps do not count as filling the target. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
