Shape Fit

Fit all the tangram pieces exactly into a grey silhouette. Drag, turn and flip the shapes until there are no gaps and no overlaps. Levels add more pieces.

How to play

  1. Pieces start in a tray under the silhouette. Drag one onto the grey shape, or pick it and use the arrow buttons or keys.
  2. Turn a piece with Turn left and Turn right (or R and E). Flip it with Flip (or F).
  3. Every piece must lie inside the silhouette with no overlaps. When the shape is completely filled the level is solved.
  4. Early levels use three pieces, later ones use all seven. Each new shape is generated fresh.

Tips and strategy

  • Place the large triangles first. They fix the outline and leave smaller gaps for the others.
  • Look for the right angles and long straight edges in the silhouette, they tell you where squares and big triangles go.
  • The parallelogram is the only piece with a mirror image, so try Flip if it will not fit.
  • Use Hint to see one correct piece as a dashed outline.

FAQ

Is there always a solution?
Yes. Each silhouette is built from the pieces themselves, so it can always be filled.
Why do pieces snap to a grid?
All pieces sit on a lattice with edges along rows, columns and diagonals, which keeps placement exact and fair.
Can I solve it a different way?
Yes. Any arrangement that fills the shape exactly counts, not only the hidden one.
