A practical guide to Block Puzzle
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. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Place shapes on an 8×8 board and clear full lines. The round ends when none of the current shapes fits.
An idea for your next attempt
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Keep the objective visible.
What you need to achieve
Place pieces and clear rows/columns until no offered shape fits. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
The order of play
- Select a shape.

- Clear full rows and columns.

Making selections and moves
Select a piece, then a board cell. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
Follow the example
One placement can clear both a row and a column. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Verify the rule before continuing.
Check this before moving on
Pieces cannot rotate in this edition. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
