Block Puzzle: rules and examples

Try a more deliberate round

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 counts as success

Place pieces and clear rows/columns until no offered shape fits. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

A walkthrough of the rules

  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.

How to use the controls

Select a piece, then a board cell. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Look at the feedback after the action.

One way to understand the rules

One placement can clear both a row and a column. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Read the matching step again.

An important reminder

Pieces cannot rotate in this edition. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
