Grid item overlay

Awesome! We learned how to set the coordinates of grid items! But the following question has probably occurred to you: “Can grid items overlap each other?”

The answer is a resounding “Yes!” If the coordinates of two grid items intersect, they are simply sequentially placed one on top of the other in the layout as though it were a stack of sheets.

Let’s try to arrange the grid items in a stack.

    1. Assign column and row grid item coordinates of 1 to -1 for the .element--grass block so that the block occupies the entire grid.
    2. Assign the grid item coordinates for column lines 1 to 4 and row lines 2 to 4 for the .element--water block.
    3. Assign the grid item coordinates for column lines 2 to 3 and for the rows from the first line to the first line counted from the end for the .element--rocks block.
