Complete Block Puzzle rules

The board

An 8 × 8 board starts empty. A tray below it holds three pieces of one to five tiles.

Placing

Drag a piece onto empty cells. Pieces never fall and never rotate. When all three are placed, a new tray comes.

Clearing

A full row or column clears at once. Each line scores 80 points, multiplied by the combo when you clear again right after. An empty board scores 300 more.

The end

The round ends when no piece in the tray fits. Score 1,000 or more to win.

Tips to win at Block Puzzle

  • Keep the middle of the board open. Big pieces need room.
  • Fill rows and columns at the same time, so one piece can clear both.
  • Clear right after a clear to build a combo. Each clear in a row scores more.

About Block Puzzle

Fitting shapes into a grid is an old kind of puzzle, from tangrams to the polyomino problems mathematicians have studied since the 1950s. Block Puzzle turns it into a quick solo game with no falling pieces and no clock, just the board, the tray and the next good spot.
