A closer look at one example
The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Take a moment to compare.
A common point of confusion
Overlaps do not count as filling the target. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
