How to Play Block Puzzle

THE PLAYBOOK · BLCQC

Block Puzzle: learn through an example

Bring your attention to one round of Block Puzzle. Place pieces and clear rows/columns until no offered shape fits. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Read the objective before making your first input. Use the example below to understand a decision.

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

Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Refer to the controls when needed.

Your goal

Place pieces and clear rows/columns until no offered shape fits. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Keep the controls in easy reach.

How to proceed

1. Select a shape.
2. Select its top-left board position.
3. Clear full rows and columns.
4. Use all three offered pieces to receive a new set.

Using the playing area

Select a piece, then a board cell. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

A useful example

One placement can clear both a row and a column. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the controls nearby.

A useful caution

Pieces cannot rotate in this edition. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
