Strategy tips
- Keep the stack flat: a flat, even top surface gives every piece a legal placement. Avoid tall spikes and isolated holes.
- Save the I-piece for Tetris: build a flat stack with one column left open, then drop the I-piece to clear all 4 lines at once for maximum score.
- T-spin bonus: rotating a T-piece into a T-shaped slot (a T-spin) scores a bonus multiplier in most Tetris rule sets, even clearing fewer lines.
- Use hold strategically: hold the I-piece until you need it for a Tetris; hold an awkward piece until the board is ready for it.
