Game overview

Blocks Puzzle is a grid-filling game where you drag groups of colored blocks onto a square board and clear full rows or columns before you run out of space. There is no timer, so the pressure comes entirely from managing the shapes you are dealt against the room left on the board. It borrows the familiar wood-block formula and keeps it stripped down to placement and line clearing.

This title is best suited to players who want a calm, untimed block puzzle for short breaks.

How to play Blocks Puzzle

  1. Look at the three block shapes offered below the board.
  2. Drag a shape onto empty cells where it fits completely.
  3. Complete an entire row or column to clear those cells.
  4. Plan placements so you keep open space for larger shapes.
  5. Keep placing until no offered shape can fit anywhere.
  6. Aim for multiple line clears from a single placement to score higher.

Tips for Blocks Puzzle

  • Leave the center of the board clear for large or awkward shapes.
  • Clear columns and rows near the edges to avoid boxing yourself in.
  • Check all three shapes before placing the first one.
  • Prioritize clears that open multiple directions at once.
