The playing sequence

See how the rules apply
An elbow must point toward both adjacent pipe ends. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the controls nearby.
An important reminder
Visual proximity does not connect mismatched ends. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
