Fill the shape exactly

Pieces
can you fill the shape?
№ 1Shapely is a free daily shape-filling visual puzzle. Everyone gets the same outline and the same set of pieces each day. Your job is to turn the pieces and place them so they fill the outline exactly, with no gaps and no overlaps. Pieces can be turned but not flipped over, and there's only ever one way to do it. The pieces are new every day: some days they're made of squares, other days of triangles, and each day has its own look: dark wood, light wood, cookie cutter, glass, soft clay, marble or paper cut.
Tap a piece in the tray to pick it up, and use Rotate to turn it (a quarter turn on square days, a sixth of a turn on triangle days). Each piece has one spot marked with a dot: tap a spot on the board and the piece is previewed with its dot there, marked ✓ if it fits or ✕ if it doesn't. On triangle days the dot's triangle has to point the same way as the one you tap, so rotate until it does. Tap the same spot again to put it down. A piece that doesn't fit is simply refused, so mis-taps never cost anything. Placing each piece for the first time is free. If you pick up a placed piece (tap it on the board) and put it down somewhere different, that counts as a slip; putting it back exactly where it was is free. When every piece is down, the shape is complete and you've solved it.
Each day is Easy, Medium or Difficult, shown on the badge. About half of all days are easy: three pieces. About a third are medium: four pieces and a bigger shape. Roughly one day in seven is difficult: five pieces and the biggest shapes. Mondays are always easy, and difficult days mostly land at the weekend.
Fill the shape without a single slip and you earn 12 points; each slip knocks it down to 10, 8, 6, 4 and then 2. A sixth slip ends the day. Rotating, previewing and refused placements never cost anything. Stuck? The helper puts one piece in its correct spot and locks it there (moving aside anything in the way, free), but it halves the day's score and is only available until your third slip.
Your play streak counts the days in a row you've played, and your solved streak counts the days in a row you've solved the puzzle. Play seven days running and you earn a 7-point bonus, or 14 points if you solved all seven. Miss a day and the streaks start again. A new puzzle arrives every day at midnight UTC.
Shapely never relies on colour: pieces are told apart by their shapes and the dark edge drawn around each one, and the materials and colours are only decoration. Previews use ✓ and ✕, and a 🔒 marks a piece the helper placed. Turn on High contrast to show every piece as plain grey with a bold black edge and a number, in the tray and on the board. Your setting is remembered. There's no clock, and animations switch off if your device asks for reduced motion.
