How do you play Block Puzzle?
Three blocks appear under an 8x8 board. Drag them into empty spaces, and every row or column you fill completely clears for points. The game ends when none of your remaining blocks fit anywhere on the board.
It plays like the wood block puzzles and Block Blast style games you see in ads: blocks never rotate and nothing falls. Our Block Stack is a different game where falling pieces turn and only rows clear. Here you take your time, put each block exactly where you want it and clear columns too.
What are the rules?
- Three at a time: use the three blocks in any order. Once all three are placed, three new ones appear.
- No rotating: 34 shapes from a single dot to a five long bar, L shapes, T shapes and squares, all 1 to 5 cells, go in exactly as shown.
- Clearing: a full row of 8 or a full column of 8 clears. Rows and columns that fill at the same time all clear together.
- Preview: while you drag, the board shows where the block will land and the lines it will clear light up.
- Faded blocks: a block turns gray when there is no space for it on the board right now.
- Game over: when every block left is faded, nothing can be placed and the game ends.
How does scoring work?
You get 1 point for every cell you place, plus 10 × lines cleared squared × combo for clearing lines. Clearing the whole board adds 300 more.
| Lines at once | Combo 1 | Combo 2 | Combo 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 line | 10 | 20 | 30 |
| 2 lines | 40 | 80 | 120 |
| 3 lines | 90 | 180 | 270 |
| 4 lines | 160 | 320 | 480 |
Your combo goes up by one each time you clear and resets after three placements in a row with no clear.
Tips for a higher score
- Save room for big blocks. Five long bars and the big 3x3 corner need wide open space.
- Avoid single holes. An empty cell boxed in on all sides only takes a dot.
- Plan the order of all three. Placing the biggest block first often makes room for the others.
- Clear several lines at once. Points grow with the square of the lines, and back to back clears add the combo bonus.
- Fill the edges first. An open middle has room for almost any shape.
Blocks are not purely random: each new set is nudged so at least one of the three fits, or two when the board is crowded. Your best score is saved in this browser.
