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. Consider the next action carefully.

A word from an earlier round does not count as seen now. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
