Follow the steps for Tangram

Take a moment with Tangram before moving to another game. Fill the square target with seven pieces, without gaps or overlap. Look at what changes after your first action. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

Arrange seven pieces into the square target. Rotate or flip a piece to fit; this game currently offers one target shape.

One thing to notice as you play

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Keep the objective visible.

Aim for this result

Fill the square target with seven pieces, without gaps or overlap. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

How to proceed

  1. Drag a selected piece.
  2. Rotate in 45-degree steps or flip it.
  3. Use snapping for precise alignment.
  4. Check the layout or use one-piece assistance.

Controls

Mouse/touch dragging and rotate/flip buttons. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

A useful example

The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Take a moment to compare.

Notice this detail

Overlaps do not count as filling the target. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
