How to play
- Easiest method: select a plate, then use the sticky Quick Place control in the plate bank to choose positions 1–50 without scrolling back to the top. Drag-and-drop still works too.
- Build the Preamble from left to right, five plates per line.
- If you get stuck, select a plate and use Auto-place selected, or use Place next for me.
- When the plates are arranged, identify the one state that is missing from the set.
Accessibility: dragging is optional. Every move can be completed by keyboard, mouse, or touch. Press Enter or Space to select a focused plate, then use Quick Place or a numbered board position.
