How to play Block Puzzle
Choose a round of Block Puzzle and settle into its rules. Place pieces and clear rows/columns until no offered shape fits. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Look at what changes after your first action.
Place shapes on an 8×8 board and clear full lines. The round ends when none of the current shapes fits.
A useful comparison
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Keep the objective visible.
Your goal
Place pieces and clear rows/columns until no offered shape fits. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.
Step by step
- Select a shape.

Controls

A useful example
One placement can clear both a row and a column. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Notice the change in the playing area.
Watch out for this
Pieces cannot rotate in this edition. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
