A useful example
PLANT seen earlier in the same round requires Seen before. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Choose a deliberate next step.
Watch out for this
A word from an earlier round does not count as seen now. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
