See how the rules apply
The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Verify the rule before continuing.
Pay attention to this rule
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.
