What you are aiming for

Learn from a sample situation
The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the game’s format in mind.
An important reminder
Overlaps do not count as filling the target. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
