A practical way to build cleaner Tetris boards
A low, even stack gives every new piece more places to fit. Avoid narrow wells that only one shape can fill, and look at the next-piece preview before locking the current piece.
Use hold to solve a specific problem
The hold slot is most useful when the active piece would create a hole or when a long piece should be saved for a four-line clear. Swapping every piece adds extra decisions without necessarily improving the board.
- Keep the center low enough to allow movement and rotation.
- Use the ghost guide to confirm the landing column.
- Hard drop only after checking the next piece and final orientation.
- Pause with P instead of leaving an active game running.
Speed increases with the level
Completed lines raise the score and eventually increase the falling speed. As the pace changes, favor simple placements over elaborate setups. The local record is stored on the current device and resets if the browser data is cleared.
Frequently asked questions
Which controls does the game use?
Use the arrow keys to move and rotate. Space performs a hard drop, C stores the current piece, and P pauses the game.
What does the ghost piece show?
The ghost marks the position where the active piece will land if dropped without further horizontal movement.
How does the hold slot work?
Press C to place the current piece in hold or swap it with the stored piece. Hold can be used once before the active piece locks.
Does the game save my high score?
Yes. The record is stored locally in the current browser.
