Block Puzzle: how a round works
Take a moment with Block Puzzle before moving to another game. Place pieces and clear rows/columns until no offered shape fits. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Place shapes on an 8×8 board and clear full lines. The round ends when none of the current shapes fits.
Practice beyond the first move
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Keep the objective visible.
The goal to keep in mind
Place pieces and clear rows/columns until no offered shape fits. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Take a moment to understand the current position.
The playing sequence

Keyboard and screen controls
Select a piece, then a board cell. Use the control method described here for this activity. A new-round button replaces the current round.
Put the rules into context
One placement can clear both a row and a column. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Read the matching step again.
A common point of confusion
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.
