Ad-Free Block Puzzle
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A calm block puzzle with no timer, no pressure and no ads. Drop shapes onto the grid, clear rows and columns, and beat your best score.
A calm, uncluttered take on the block puzzle — no timer and no pressure.
How to play
Drag the three shapes from the tray onto the 9×9 grid. Fill a whole row or a whole column and it clears away, making room for more. Once you've placed all three shapes, a new set of three appears. The game ends when none of the shapes will fit anywhere on the board — so every move is about keeping your options open.
Completely free — no ads, no accounts, nothing locked behind a purchase. There's an optional tip jar if you'd like to support development.
Turn and plan ahead
Double-tap any shape in the tray to turn it a quarter turn, as often as you like. The next three shapes are shown under the tray so you can plan your moves — or hide them in Settings for a tougher game.
Score and combos
You earn points for every block you place, and more for clearing lines. Clear more than one line at once, or clear lines on back-to-back moves, and you'll pick up a bonus on top. A running combo shows on screen, and emptying the whole board earns a big bonus. Your highest score is saved on your device.
Daily Puzzle
A new puzzle every day. Start from a partly filled board with nine set shapes, in three sets of three, and score as high as you can to earn up to three stars. The week gets harder as it goes, from easy on Monday to expert on Sunday, and you can try again as often as you like. Your results and your streak of consecutive days are saved on your device.
Gets tougher as you go
As your score climbs, new shapes join the mix. Each new shape is guaranteed to turn up in the next set of shapes drawn, so you won't wait long to try it. The small shapes still turn up, just less often, so the further you get, the more every move counts.
No timer
There's no clock and no move limit. Take as long as you like over each placement — the only thing that ends a game is running out of room.
Clean, quiet design
No internet connection required. No sign-up, no notifications, no nonsense. Just you and the grid.
