Learn from a sample situation
The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Check the stated objective.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Overlaps do not count as filling the target. Check the rule before repeating the action. 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.
