An example to follow
The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Pay attention to this rule
Overlaps do not count as filling the target. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
