How to play Block Puzzle
Earn points by filling complete rows or columns.
Rules for the Solve Meadow edition. Examples are constructed lessons, not today's answers. How these guides are made.
Make your first move
Drag a tray piece onto empty squares, or select it, tap its top-left square, then Place.
This is a 10×10 block-placement variant. Drag a piece onto the board and release to place it. Alternatively, select a piece, tap where its top-left corner should sit, then Place. Pieces cannot rotate. A fresh tray arrives after all three are used. Clear several lines together or on consecutive moves for bonus points. No undo. The round ends when no remaining piece fits; Finish round saves your current points. Daily score = round(100 × points / (points + 300)), capped at 100. This benchmark is not a player percentile or a win target; you can keep playing.
A quick example
Fill all 10 squares in a row and that row disappears.
Clear a line without trapping the next piece
Imagine a row with eight occupied squares and two neighbouring empty squares. Your tray includes a matching two-square piece and a larger shape.
- Check where the larger shape could fit before placing the small piece.
- Put the two-square piece into the gap. All ten squares in that row are now occupied, so the row clears.
- Use the newly opened space when planning the remaining tray pieces. A new tray arrives only after all three pieces are used.
Pieces cannot rotate. Look for row and column clears that preserve flexible empty areas rather than creating narrow holes. This is a continuing points game, not a race to a fixed winning score.
Why can I not rotate a piece to fill a gap?
The tray shapes have fixed orientations in this edition. Choose a different space or clear a line first.
Common mistake
Pieces do not rotate. Use all three pieces to get a fresh tray. The round ends when none fit.
Strategy to try
- Check all three tray pieces before placing the first. Preserve a space for the largest shape, because pieces cannot rotate.
- Look for placements that complete a row and column together. Keeping the board open matters more than filling isolated holes with no plan for a clear.
Daily play and practice
The daily board changes at midnight UTC. Your first completed daily score is saved in this browser. Practice starts a separate round without replacing that result. There is no account or subscription required; JavaScript is needed to play. Progress is device-local and clearing browser data removes it.

Practice lets you explore the controls before attempting the shared daily round.
