A closer look at one example

The horizon should continue across neighbouring tiles. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Look for the relevant detail.

Notice this detail

This is a square-tile swap puzzle, not interlocking freeform pieces. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
