The Tangram playbook
Bring your attention to one round of Tangram. Fill the square target with seven pieces, without gaps or overlap. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Look at what changes after your first action.
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
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Make the next step deliberately.
What you need to achieve
Fill the square target with seven pieces, without gaps or overlap. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
Step by step
- Drag a selected piece.
- Rotate in 45-degree steps or flip it.
- Use snapping for precise alignment.
- Check the layout or use one-piece assistance.
The controls to know
Mouse/touch dragging and rotate/flip buttons. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
A useful example
The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Take a moment to compare.
A mistake to avoid
Overlaps do not count as filling the target. A different version of the game may use a different rule. 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.
