The controls to know
Mouse/touch dragging and rotate/flip buttons. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. A new-round button replaces the current round.
Work through an example
The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Verify the rule before continuing.
One detail worth checking
Overlaps do not count as filling the target. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
