How to play Block Puzzle

Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Block Puzzle. Place pieces and clear rows/columns until no offered shape fits. Use the example below to understand a decision. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

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

Build a steady rhythm

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.

Your goal

Place pieces and clear rows/columns until no offered shape fits. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. The example below illustrates a decision.

Step by step

  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.

Controls

Select a piece, then a board cell. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

A useful 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. Verify the rule before continuing.

Watch out for this

Pieces cannot rotate in this edition. 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.
