What is Block Puzzle?
Block Puzzle is the block-placement puzzle genre that has dominated mobile game charts worldwide. Drag the three pieces from the tray onto the 8×8 board; when a row or column is completely filled, it clears and you score points. Unlike Tetris, nothing falls and there is no timer — it's a relaxing puzzle where you can take your time and plan every move.
How to Play
- Place: Drag a piece from the tray with your finger or mouse onto any open spot on the board.
- Clear: Fill an entire row or column (8 cells) to clear it — multiple lines can clear at once!
- Refill: Once all three pieces are used, a fresh set of three appears.
- Game over: The game ends when none of your remaining pieces fit anywhere on the board.
Scoring
- Placement: Every piece scores points equal to its number of cells.
- Line clear bonus: 10 points per line — and clearing several lines at once multiplies the bonus (2 lines = 40, 3 lines = 90).
- Combos: Clearing lines on consecutive turns builds a combo multiplier for even bigger scores.
Tips for High Scores
- Save room for big pieces: Always keep space for a 3×3 square or a 5-cell line — getting stuck with a big piece is how most runs end.
- Set up multi-line clears: Clearing a row and a column together earns far more than clearing them one at a time.
- Keep the combo alive: Clearing at least one line every turn maintains your combo — sometimes it pays to save a nearly-full line for the next turn.
- Fill from the edges: Keeping the center open makes it easier to fit whatever pieces come next.
