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. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Check the rule that explains your first action. 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.
Keep the aim in sight
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Place pieces and clear rows/columns until no offered shape fits. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Check the rules when you are unsure.
Step by step
- Select a shape.
- Select its top-left board position.
- Clear full rows and columns.
- Use all three offered pieces to receive a new set.
Controls
Select a piece, then a board cell. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A useful example
One placement can clear both a row and a column. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Choose a deliberate next step.
Watch out for this
Pieces cannot rotate in this edition. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
