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. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
From the start of a round
- 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.
Input guidance
Mouse/touch dragging and rotate/flip buttons. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
Learn from a sample situation
The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Read the matching step again.
One detail worth checking
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.
