Block Puzzle

How to play

1. Tap one of your three pieces to select it, then tap the board: the piece lands with its top-left corner on the cell you tap. Hovering previews the footprint (green fits, red doesn't).
2. Fill a complete row or column to clear it. Clears score big, and multiple lines in one placement earn a combo bonus.
3. When all three pieces are placed, you draw the next three from the day's sequence.
4. The run ends when none of your current pieces fits anywhere. Retry freely — in daily mode your best score of the day is kept and shared.

Rules

• The board is 10×10 with no gravity — pieces stay exactly where you put them.
• Pieces cannot rotate; every orientation in the set is its own piece.
• Scoring: 1 point per cell placed, 10 points per cleared line, plus a combo bonus of 5×(lines−1)² when one placement clears several lines at once.
• The daily piece sequence is identical for every player and resets at midnight UTC; the archive picker holds the last two weeks.
• Practice mode deals an unlimited random sequence and never affects your daily best or streak.

Scoring & streaks

Placements earn their cell count, cleared lines earn 10 each, and simultaneous multi-line clears add 5×(lines−1)² — so a double clear pays 25 line-points and a triple 65. Your daily best survives retries, and playing any daily run extends your on-device streak.

Strategy tips

• Guard space for the big pieces: the 3×3 square and the five-length lines end most runs. Keep at least one open 3×3 pocket and one clear lane alive at all times.
• Build toward double clears. Filling a row and a column that intersect pays the combo bonus and opens two lanes with one placement.
• Place large pieces first when a fresh trio arrives — small pieces are your finishers, not your openers.
• Avoid checkerboarding: scattered single holes are wasted space only the 1×1 can fix, and you can't count on drawing it.
• Edges and corners first is a good default — central space is the most flexible and worth saving.

Difficulty

A casual run takes 3–10 minutes. Early board states are forgiving; the skill ceiling is in mid-run space management, when combo setups compete with survival. Daily scores around a few hundred points are solid; past a thousand you are playing very well.

Controls

• Tap or click to select a piece and place it; hovering the board previews whether the piece fits.
• Pieces that no longer fit anywhere are dimmed in the tray.
• Restart run starts the same day's sequence over (daily best is kept); the picker above switches days or to practice.

Accessibility

Every board cell and piece is a real button with a descriptive label, placement uses a predictable top-left anchor rule rather than drag-and-drop, fit/no-fit previews pair color with position, and the layout keeps contrast in both themes without horizontal scrolling on phones.
