How to play block puzzle
- You get three pieces at a time. Drag one onto the 8×8 grid, or tap the piece and then tap where you want it.
- Pieces cannot be rotated and cannot overlap anything already on the board.
- Fill an entire row or an entire column and it clears. Complete a row and a column on the same move and both go — the shared cell doesn't save either one.
- You only get new pieces once all three are played, so plan the whole tray, not just the piece you like.
- The game ends when none of your remaining pieces fits anywhere. Beat the daily par to keep your streak alive.
How the score works
- One point per cell placed — so the big 3×3 square is worth nine just for landing it.
- Ten points per line cleared, squared for multi-line clears. One line is 10, two at once is 40, three at once is 90. Setting up a double is worth two singles and then some.
- Combo bonus for clearing on back-to-back turns, five points per line per step of the streak.
Three habits of a long run
- Keep a 3×3 hole open. The square is the least flexible piece in the set. If there is nowhere to put it, the run usually ends within two turns.
- Build from the edges in. Holes in the middle of the grid are far harder to fill than holes against a wall.
- Look at all three pieces before placing any. The tray only refills when it is empty, so a greedy first placement can strand the other two.
