Pro Tips

Place blocks on one side or corner of the board at the beginning the game.

Line clearing streaks are the best way to run up the score.
Set yourself up to clear multiple lines with a single block.

Streaks will help you score more points than combos.

Using the Undo button will remove any points gained from the previous move.

Make sure you always have space for a 3x3 or 1x5 block so you don’t run out of moves!

Find the balance between fast and strategic placements.

Place familiar block pieces on the grid to clear as many lines as possible. 3 blocks will appear in the queue. Tap and hold on a block to drag into the grid, release to drop it into place. Fill an entire row or column to clear lines and earn Points.

Clearing multiple lines at once will reward you a Combo bonus. Clearing lines in back to back turns will reward you a Streak bonus. You have 3 minutes to play, but the game will end early if there isn't enough space to drop a block into the grid.
