Block Puzzle: how a round works
Bring your attention to one round of Block Puzzle. Place pieces and clear rows/columns until no offered shape fits. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Look at what changes after your first action.
Place shapes on an 8×8 board and clear full lines. The round ends when none of the current shapes fits.
Practice beyond the first move
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Use the example to check your reasoning.
The purpose of your moves
Place pieces and clear rows/columns until no offered shape fits. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.
The steps to play
- Select a shape.
- Select its top-left board position.
- Clear full rows and columns.
- Use all three offered pieces to receive a new set.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Select a piece, then a board cell. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use one clear input at a time.
Follow the example
One placement can clear both a row and a column. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Notice the change in the playing area.
A mistake to avoid
Pieces cannot rotate in this edition. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
