One way to understand the rules
Clue 2 1 requires a run of two, a blank separator, and a run of one. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the controls nearby.

Do not merge two separate runs. Compare the situation with the worked example. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
