About Tetris

Tetris is the legendary block-stacking puzzle loved for generations. Colorful shapes fall from the top of the board — rotate and slide them to build complete rows with no gaps. Each full row clears away and scores you points. The blocks fall faster as you level up, so quick thinking and neat stacking are the keys to a huge high score.

How to Play

• Move falling blocks left and right with the arrow keys or on-screen buttons.
• Press up (or the rotate button) to turn a block.
• Fill an entire row across with no gaps to clear it and score points.
• Press down to drop faster. The game ends when the blocks reach the top.

Tips & Tricks

• Keep the stack flat and low — avoid tall towers with holes.
• Save a tall gap on one side for the long I-piece to clear four rows at once.
• Rotate early so you're ready when the block lands.
