The essentials of playing Block Puzzle
Block Puzzle gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Place pieces and clear rows/columns until no offered shape fits. Use the example below to understand a decision. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. 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.
Build familiarity through play
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Keep the objective visible.
Understand the aim
Place pieces and clear rows/columns until no offered shape fits. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
Work through the instructions
- Select a shape.
- Select its top-left board position.
- Clear full rows and columns.
- Use all three offered pieces to receive a new set.
Making selections and moves
Select a piece, then a board cell. Use the control method described here for this activity. A new-round button replaces the current round.
Put the rules into context
One placement can clear both a row and a column. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Read the matching step again.
Where a round can go wrong
Pieces cannot rotate in this edition. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
