Your goal
Fill the square target with seven pieces, without gaps or overlap. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Notice how the game responds to your input.
Step by step
- 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.
Controls
Mouse/touch dragging and rotate/flip buttons. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use one clear input at a time.
A useful example
The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Read the matching step again.
Watch out for this
Overlaps do not count as filling the target. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
