Follow the steps for Tangram

Make Tangram your next activity in the game library. Fill the square target with seven pieces, without gaps or overlap. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

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

A small practice goal

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Make the next step deliberately.

What you are aiming for

Fill the square target with seven pieces, without gaps or overlap. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

The order of play

  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.

Using the playing area

Mouse/touch dragging and rotate/flip buttons. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Check any mode label before starting.

Learn from a sample situation

The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Notice the change in the playing area.

A useful caution

Overlaps do not count as filling the target. Compare the situation with the worked example. 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.
