One way to understand the rules
The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Look for the relevant detail.
An important reminder
Overlaps do not count as filling the target. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
