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

  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.

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.
