How to play Block Puzzle

Open Block Puzzle, check the instructions and begin a round. Place pieces and clear rows/columns until no offered shape fits. Use the example below to understand a decision. Check the rule that explains your first action. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

Place shapes on an 8×8 board and clear full lines. The round ends when none of the current shapes fits.

Practice with a purpose

Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Notice the feedback after each input.

What the game asks you to do

Place pieces and clear rows/columns until no offered shape fits. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Check the rules when you are unsure.

How to proceed

  1. Select a shape.
  2. Select its top-left board position.
  3. Clear full rows and columns.
  4. Use all three offered pieces to receive a new set.

Keyboard and screen controls

Select a piece, then a board cell. Read a button’s label before selecting it. A new-round button replaces the current round.

A closer look at one example

One placement can clear both a row and a column. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Consider the next action carefully.

An important reminder

Pieces cannot rotate in this edition. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
