Using the playing area
Mouse/touch dragging and rotate/flip buttons. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
Work through an example
The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the controls nearby.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Overlaps do not count as filling the target. Compare the situation with the worked example. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
