A useful example
PLANT seen earlier in the same round requires Seen before. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Choose a deliberate next step.
Watch out for this
A word from an earlier round does not count as seen now. 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.
