Block Puzzle: instructions and practice
Take a moment with Block Puzzle before moving to another game. Place pieces and clear rows/columns until no offered shape fits. Look at what changes after your first action. Check the rule that explains your first action. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Place shapes on an 8×8 board and clear full lines. The round ends when none of the current shapes fits.
Something to practise
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Make the next step deliberately.
The challenge in front of you
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.
Making your moves
- Select a shape.
- Select its top-left board position.
- Clear full rows and columns.
- Use all three offered pieces to receive a new set.
Your inputs
Select a piece, then a board cell. Use the control method described here for this activity. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
A useful example
One placement can clear both a row and a column. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the controls nearby.
A mistake to avoid
Pieces cannot rotate in this edition. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
