Work through an example
A same-row pair needs an empty route between its endpoints. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the controls nearby.
A mistake to avoid
Three corners are invalid. Compare the situation with the worked example. 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.
