Block Puzzle - How to Play & Tips
Block Puzzle is a Block Blast-style grid puzzle: drag pieces from your tray onto the 8x8 board, clearing full rows or columns for points — a combo bonus rewards clearing multiple lines at once. No pointer-drag issues here — tap a tray piece to select it, use the on-screen D-pad to fine-tune its position with a live green/red placement preview, tap Rotate to spin a piece 90°, and tap Place Block to commit once the preview turns green.
The real block puzzle strategy is keeping the board as flat and open as possible — avoid creating isolated single-cell gaps that only one specific piece shape can fill, since the game ends once no tray piece fits anywhere on the board. Thinking two or three pieces ahead, not just the current one, is what separates high scores from quick game-overs in this style of puzzle.

How to Play Block Puzzle: Step by Step
- Tap a piece in the tray below the board to select it.
- Move it with the on-screen D-pad. The preview turns green where the piece fits and red where it does not.
- Tap Rotate to turn the piece 90 degrees if you need a different shape.
- Tap Place Block when the preview is green. Fill a whole row or column on the 8x8 board to clear it.
- The game ends when none of your tray pieces fit anywhere.
Block Puzzle Tips for Beginners
- Keep a large open area free for the big 3x3 and long line pieces.
- Avoid leaving single empty squares surrounded by blocks.
- Look at all pieces in the tray before placing the first one.
- Clearing two or more lines at once gives a combo bonus, so set up double clears when you can.
- Fill edges and corners first and keep the middle flexible.
