How to play Tangram

Fill the dark outline with all seven pieces: two large triangles, a medium one, two small ones, a square and a parallelogram. Every piece is used once, and none may overlap.

Start with the two large triangles: they cover half the shape, so where they go decides the rest. Choose another shape under the board; the daily shape is the same for everyone.

Keyboard

Tab to a piece. The arrow keys move it one step (hold Shift for a quarter step), R turns it (Shift+R the other way), F flips the parallelogram, and Enter snaps it to the nearest corner. H places a piece for you, and Ctrl+Z undoes a move.

Questions

What are the seven pieces?

Two large triangles, a medium triangle, two small triangles, a square and a parallelogram, cut from one square. Every shape uses all seven, with no overlaps.

How do I turn a piece?

Tap it without dragging, or choose it and press Turn. The parallelogram also has Flip, because its mirror image is a different shape. On a keyboard, R turns and F flips.

Does a piece have to land exactly?

No. Let go near where it belongs and it snaps to the nearest corner. On a keyboard, Enter snaps the chosen piece.

What if I get stuck?

Place one puts a piece where it belongs. You can also undo as many moves as you like, and there is no time limit.
