Tangram: instructions and practice

Try Tangram at your own pace and keep its objective in view. 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.

Practice with a purpose

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Notice the feedback after each input.

Input guidance

Learn from a sample situation

The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the game’s format in mind.

Keep this in mind

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.
