Learn from a sample situation
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.
Watch out for this
Overlaps do not count as filling the target. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
