A closer look at one example
The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Keep this in mind
Overlaps do not count as filling the target. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
