Block Puzzle

Puzzle · Drag blocks, fill lines, clear the pond.

Play Block Puzzle free online: drag wooden blocks onto a 9×9 lily-pond board, fill rows, columns and 3×3 squares to clear them, and chain combos for a high score. No download, made for phones, with a new Daily puzzle every day.

How to play

  1. You get three pieces at a time. Drag one onto the board and let go where the shadow shows it will land.
  2. Fill a whole row, a whole column or one of the nine 3×3 squares and those blocks clear away, making room again.
  3. Clear several lines with one piece for a combo, and keep clearing move after move for a streak bonus.
  4. When all three pieces are placed you get three new ones. Pieces can't be rotated.
  5. The game ends when none of your pieces fits anywhere. Easy deals smaller pieces and gives you one undo; Hard deals more awkward shapes. The Daily gives everyone the same pieces.

Tips to win

  • Keep the middle of the board open: big pieces like the 5-long bar and the big corner need room.
  • Before placing, look at all three pieces and play the biggest one first while it still fits.
  • Build along the edges and corners, and avoid leaving single empty squares that only a 1-block piece could fill.
  • Set up two lines that clear together for a combo instead of clearing one line at a time.
  • Stuck on what to do? Tap Teach me and Hop shows you a good spot and explains why.

Questions

Is Block Puzzle free?

Yes. Play Block Puzzle free in your browser on phone, tablet or computer, with no download and no sign-up.

How do you score points in Block Puzzle?

Every block you place is worth a point. Clearing a line is worth 20, two at once 50, three at once 90, and a streak of clearing moves multiplies your points up to four times.

When does the game end?

When none of the three pieces in your tray fits anywhere on the board. Leaving space for big pieces is the key to long games.

Can you rotate the blocks?

No. Like the classic block puzzle, pieces keep their shape, so you have to plan where each one will fit.

Is there a daily Block Puzzle?

Yes. In the Daily everyone gets the same pieces in the same order, so you can compare scores fairly. Reach the target score to keep your daily streak.
