Overview

A tile-matching puzzle game where players rotate and drop falling tetromino shapes to create and clear horizontal lines.

How to Play

The goal of Tetris is to manipulate falling geometric shapes called tetrominoes, rotating and moving them horizontally as they descend, in order to create solid horizontal lines without gaps. When a line is completed, it disappears, and you earn points. The game ends when the stack of blocks reaches the top of the playing field. As you progress, the tetrominoes fall faster, increasing the challenge. A key beginner strategy is to aim for clearing multiple lines at once, especially a 'Tetris' (four lines simultaneously), which yields the highest score. Focus on keeping the playing field as flat as possible to avoid creating deep wells that are hard to fill. In tense moments when the stack is high, prioritize clearing single lines quickly to create space rather than waiting for the perfect piece to set up a large clear.
