About this tool: Tetris
Classic falling blocks with bonus points and power-ups: swap a piece, drop a bomb, slow time down. Keyboard or touch, no sign-up.
Tetris is a classic puzzle game where falling shapes must be arranged to form full horizontal lines. When you complete a line, it clears and gives you points, freeing space for new pieces. As you reach higher levels, the pieces fall faster, making the game more intense and strategic. It’s easy to learn for most ages, but mastering fast decisions and clean stacking is what makes it so addictive.

Frequently asked questions
How do I rotate a piece?
Press the Up arrow to rotate the current piece.
How can I make a piece fall faster?

You get this option every 10 levels. Press R on keyboard, or tap the dice icon on mobile to change the piece when it doesn’t fit.
