Getting started with Tangram

Open Tangram, check the instructions and begin a round. Fill the square target with seven pieces, without gaps or overlap. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Look at what changes after your first action.

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

Practice beyond the first move

Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Make the next step deliberately.

What counts as success

Fill the square target with seven pieces, without gaps or overlap. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

Making your moves

  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.

Your inputs

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. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Read the matching step again.

Where a round can go wrong

Overlaps do not count as filling the target. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
