Block Fit

Drop shapes onto an 8×8 board and clear full rows and columns. Plan ahead, because the game ends when nothing fits.

How to play

  1. You are given three shapes at a time. Tap a shape to pick it up, then tap the board to place it. On a computer a preview shows where it will land.
  2. Shapes cannot be rotated. Fill a complete row or column to clear it and make space.
  3. Clearing several lines at once scores a big bonus, and you earn points for every block you place.
  4. When all three shapes are used you get three more. The game ends when none of the shapes you hold can fit anywhere.

Tips and strategy

  • Keep one or two rows or columns almost full rather than spreading blocks everywhere.
  • Save the long bars and big squares for when there is room, and do not fill the centre with small pieces.
  • Look at all three shapes before you place the first one, so you can plan a double clear.
  • Clear a row and a column in the same move for a larger bonus than two separate clears.

FAQ

Can I rotate the shapes?
No. Shapes keep the orientation they are given, which is what makes planning the key skill.
Where is my best score saved?
In your browser on this device. Nothing is sent to a server.
Can I get stuck right from the start?
No. Each new hand always includes at least one shape that fits on the board.
