Piece Pack
Fit a set of five-square pentomino pieces into a shaded outline with no gaps or overlaps. Daily and practice puzzles.
How to play
- The shaded squares on the board form an outline. The tray above it holds the pieces you must fit inside.
- Pick a piece in the tray, press Turn to cycle through its rotations and flips, then tap a board square to drop the piece there. The piece's top-left block lands on the square you tap.
- Pieces must stay inside the outline and cannot overlap. Tap a placed piece to pick it up again.
- Every piece has to be used. The puzzle completes when the outline is fully covered.
Tips and strategy
- Start with the squares in the tightest corners of the outline, since few pieces can fill them.
- A single long straight piece usually has only one or two places it can lie.
- A narrow gap exactly one square wide has to be filled by a piece with a one-square-wide end.
- Hover or focus a square to preview where the selected piece would land before you tap.
FAQ
- Can pieces be flipped as well as rotated?
- Yes. Turn cycles through every rotation and mirror image of the selected piece.
- Is the answer unique?
- Not always. Any arrangement that covers the outline with all the pieces is accepted.
- Is the daily puzzle shared?
- Yes. It is built from the UTC date and resets at 00:00 UTC.
