Block Puzzle rules

The game starts with an empty 8 by 8 grid and a tray of three shapes.
Drag a shape onto the grid, or tap a shape and then tap a square. A shape can go anywhere it fits on empty squares. Shapes cannot be rotated.
When a row or a column is full, it clears. Nothing falls: the other blocks stay where they are.
You get three new shapes only after all three in the tray have been placed. You may place them in any order.
You score 1 point for each square of a shape you place, plus a bonus for each line you clear.
Clearing several lines with one shape pays more, and clearing on placements one after another adds a streak bonus.
The game ends when none of the shapes left in the tray fits. You win when your score has reached the goal of the level: 200 on Easy, 300 on Medium, 400 on Hard.

Block Puzzle tips

Look at all three shapes before you place the first one. The order often decides whether the last one fits.
Always keep room for the big ones: a 3 by 3 square and a straight line of five squares.
Build from the edges and corners, and keep the filled squares together. Scattered single gaps are hard to fill.
Work on rows and columns that are nearly full. Two lines cleared with one shape score three times as much as one.
Clear a line on every placement when you can: the streak bonus grows by 10 points each time.
Stuck? The Hint button shows a good square, and Undo takes back your last placement.

Block Puzzle questions

How do you play Block Puzzle?

Drag the three shapes from the tray onto the grid. Fill a whole row or column to clear it and score. When all three shapes are placed you get three new ones. The game ends when no shape in the tray fits.

Can you rotate the blocks?

No. Every shape must be placed the way it is shown in the tray. The game deals the same shape in different turns instead, so plan the space for the shape you actually have.

Is there a time limit?

No. There is no clock and nothing falls. Take as long as you like over each shape; the game only ends when none of the shapes in the tray fits on the grid.

How does scoring work?

Each square of a placed shape is worth 1 point. One cleared line adds 10 points, two at once 30, three at once 60 and four at once 100. A clear straight after another clear adds a streak bonus of 10 points, then 20, then 30 and so on.

What is the difference between the levels?

All levels use an 8 by 8 grid. Easy deals small, friendly shapes with no 3 by 3 square and no line of five, and its goal is 200 points. Medium uses the full set with a goal of 300. Hard adds awkward shapes such as diagonals, a plus and a cup, with a goal of 400.

Is there a daily Block Puzzle challenge?

Yes. The daily challenge is a Medium game with the same shapes in the same order for every player that day. Reach 300 points before you run out of moves to complete it and grow your streak. You can keep playing after 300 for a higher score.

Can you undo a move, and is there a hint?

Yes. Undo takes back your last placement and puts the shape back in the tray. Hint shows a good square for one of your shapes: it looks for the most lines cleared, then for the tidiest grid.

Is Block Puzzle free, and does it use real money?
