How to play block puzzle

Block puzzle is a relaxing line-clearing game for one player. Each turn you get three blocks at the bottom of the screen. Drag one onto the board and let go to put it down. A block can go anywhere it fits, but it cannot be turned, so look at its shape before you drop it. When all three are placed, three new blocks arrive.

Fill every square of a row or a column and the whole line disappears, which gives you room for the next block. Clear a row and a column with one block and the move is worth even more. The game is over when none of your blocks fits anywhere.

Tips for a high score

Keep the board open. A few big gaps are far easier to use than lots of single holes, so try not to scatter squares around the edges. Before you place anything, look at all three blocks and decide the order: a long bar needs a free row or column, and a big square needs a clear patch, so keep room for them while you still can.

Combos come from clearing lines on move after move, and a move that clears nothing ends the streak. That makes it worth setting up a line you can finish with your next block, then another one right after it. Wiping the board completely earns a bonus, but never at the cost of boxing yourself in.

Daily challenge, combos and backdrops

Every day there is a new daily challenge: a board that starts with a few blocks already on it, the same for everyone that day. Play it each day to grow your streak. Your best score and your streak are saved, and the more lines you clear overall, the more backdrops you unlock for the game.

Questions

Is block puzzle free to play here?

Yes. It is free, there is nothing to download and you do not need an account. Your best score and your daily streak are saved automatically.

What is a block puzzle game?

It is a one-player puzzle where you fit blocks of different shapes onto a grid. Fill a whole row or column and it clears, which makes room for the next blocks. There is no timer and no turning the blocks, so it is all about planning.

Is block puzzle a good brain game?

It is a gentle one. You look at the shapes, plan where each block fits and think a few moves ahead, with no timer to rush you. Many people like it as a relaxing way to unwind for a few minutes.

Can I rotate the blocks?

No. Every block keeps the shape it was dealt, and that is what makes planning the fun part. You can always place all three blocks of a set, as long as you find the right order.

Does the game ever end?

A game lasts until none of your three blocks fits anywhere on the board. There is no timer, so you can think as long as you like. If you leave in the middle of a game, it is waiting for you when you come back.

How is the score worked out?

Every square you place scores a point and every line you clear adds more. Clearing two or three lines with one block pays extra, and clearing lines move after move builds a combo that makes each line worth more. An empty board earns a big bonus.

Is the daily challenge the same for everyone?

Yes. Everyone who plays on the same date starts from the same board, so you can compare scores with friends. Finish a daily challenge each day to grow your streak.
