Fill the square target with seven pieces, without gaps or overlap. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Notice how the game responds to your input.
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.
Input guidance
Mouse/touch dragging and rotate/flip buttons. Read a button’s label before selecting it. A new-round button replaces the current round.
An example before you play
The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Take a moment to compare.
An important reminder
Overlaps do not count as filling the target. Compare the situation with the worked example. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
