I got it too. It's a great idea, Krogg!
Hmmm, to make things a little bit more interesting, let
us allow flipping pieces horizontally and vertically.

Here is how characters behave when flipped:


 . | .     ( | )    \ | /    _ | _    - | -    ` | '
---+---   ---+---  ---+---  ---+---  ---+---  ---+---
   |       ( | )    / | \      |        |      , |

 | | |     + | +    v | v
---+---   ---+---  ---+---
 | | |     + | +    ^ | ^

    empty place for other      |
    "flippable" characters: ---+---
                               |


There are missing entries in the above chart. This
means that piece containing charactes with missing
entries cannot be flipped in certain direction.
Pieces containg characters not in above chart
cannot be flipped at all.

For example, flipping upside-down an underscore "_"
or dot is forbidden.
Flipping horizontally a comma "," is forbidden too,
but you can flip it upside down, and then the
resulting "`" can be flipped in both directions.

After any flipping has been applied, Krogg's
rules apply:

>  |    _/    _/      |
>  |   (     (        |
>  `----`     `-------'


And finally, here are the pieces, some of them
flipped, most are not:

PS. Tell me, is that piece-flipping a good thing?

Oooooh!!! THAT'S why I couldn't solve it...

  snip, '.             ha
