How to play

Below the grid are three pieces. Drag a piece onto the grid and drop it where all its squares land on empty squares.
Pieces are never turned. You choose the order you place them in.
Once all three are placed you get three new ones.
A full row or column disappears, and its squares are free again. If one piece fills several, they all go.
The game ends when none of the pieces you have left fits.

Placing a piece

Drag the piece with a finger or the mouse. The game shows where it lands and which lines disappear.
Or tap the piece, then the square where its middle should go.
With a keyboard: 1, 2 and 3 pick a piece, the arrows move it and Enter places it.
A piece that fits nowhere is greyed out.

Questions

How is the score counted?
One point per square you place. A row or column that disappears gives 10, two at once 30, three 60 and four 100. Clearing on several moves in a row (a combo) gives 10 more for each move after the first.

Can the pieces be turned?
No. A piece always lies the way it comes, so think about where each shape fits.

Can I stop early?
Yes. Press End game, and the score you have counts.

Does Today count if I play again?
Your first game with today's pieces counts for Today and your streak. You can play again for fun.

How does a duel work?
You start a duel and invite a friend. You both get the same pieces in the same order and play on your own, when you like. The highest score wins, and then you can play a new round.

Can anyone cheat their way to points?
The game's server plays every game again from its moves and counts the score itself. Only moves that follow the rules count.
