What you are aiming for
Place pieces and clear rows/columns until no offered shape fits. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
How to proceed
- Select a shape.
- Select its top-left board position.
- Clear full rows and columns.
- Use all three offered pieces to receive a new set.
Keyboard and screen controls
Select a piece, then a board cell. Read a button’s label before selecting it. A new-round button replaces the current round.
An example before you play
One placement can clear both a row and a column. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Check the stated objective.
A useful caution
Pieces cannot rotate in this edition. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
