The Tangram playbook
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. 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.
Build familiarity through play
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your objective
Fill the square target with seven pieces, without gaps or overlap. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
How to proceed
- 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.
Using the playing area
Mouse/touch dragging and rotate/flip buttons. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. A new-round button replaces the current round.
See the idea in action
The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Check the stated objective.
A useful caution
Overlaps do not count as filling the target. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
