Tangram: a guide for your next round

Read the aim of Tangram, then make your first move. Fill the square target with seven pieces, without gaps or overlap. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Check the rule that explains your first action. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

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

A focus for your next round

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. Use the example to check your reasoning.

The challenge in front of you

Fill the square target with seven pieces, without gaps or overlap. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. The example below illustrates a decision.

Start here and follow along

  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.

Keyboard and screen controls

Mouse/touch dragging and rotate/flip buttons. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Check any mode label before starting.

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.
