Tetris
The world's most popular classic puzzle game is here.
Has any game truly defined an entire genre and captured the collective imagination quite like Tetris? Forget trends and fads; we're talking about the undisputed heavyweight champion of puzzle games, now available for instant, addictive play.
Tetris isn't just a game; it's a phenomenon built on elegant simplicity. At its core, the concept is brilliantly pure: geometric shapes, known as Tetriminos, fall from the top of the screen. Your mission is to rotate and move these four-block pieces to form complete horizontal lines without any gaps. Once a line is complete, it vanishes, scoring points and providing precious extra space. Fail to clear lines fast enough, and the stack will eventually reach the top, ending your game. This seemingly simple setup hides a deep, strategic challenge that demands both quick reflexes and forward planning.
Moment-to-moment, you are in a high-stakes, fast-paced negotiation with gravity. The ever-increasing speed of the falling blocks creates an exhilarating pressure cooker environment. You'll spend every second anticipating the next piece, scanning the well for potential openings, and executing split-second rotations and drops. The satisfying thunk of a perfectly placed piece leading to a coveted "Tetris" (clearing four lines simultaneously) is one of gaming's greatest rewards. This is a pure test of spatial reasoning, where mastery comes not from memorizing complex rules, but from turning quick thinking into second nature.
If you’re a player who values the satisfaction of perfect efficiency and a constant, escalating challenge, Tetris is your perfect match. It's the ultimate brain workout, ideal for a quick mental break or a long, meditative session of pursuit of the high score. There's no complex lore or characters to manage—just you, the blocks, and the relentless ticking clock. It appeals to both the casual player looking for a familiar classic and the hardcore competitor chasing global leaderboard dominance.

Welcome to Tetris! This game is famous worldwide for a reason—it’s incredibly easy to learn but offers endless challenges. By the end of this short guide, you will understand the core concepts and controls, setting you up to transform from a beginner into a block-stacking master in no time.
Your primary objective is to survive for as long as possible by preventing the falling blocks from stacking up to the very top of the playing field. You achieve this by skillfully rotating and moving each block (or "Tetrimino") to form complete horizontal lines, which are then cleared from the screen, earning you points and keeping the game going.
Disclaimer: These are the standard controls for this type of game on PC Browser with Keyboard/Mouse. The actual controls may be slightly different.
| Action / Purpose | Key(s) / Gesture |
|---|---|
| Move Block Left | Left Arrow Key (←) |
| Move Block Right | Right Arrow Key (→) |
| Rotate Block | Up Arrow Key (↑) or 'X' key |
| Soft Drop (Accelerate Fall) | Down Arrow Key (↓) |
| Hard Drop (Instant Placement) | Spacebar |
| Hold Piece (Swap) | 'C' key or 'Shift' |
Understanding what is happening on your screen is crucial for long-term success. Focus on these key areas to make informed decisions:
Tetris operates on a few simple, yet critical, rules that govern how you play and score:

This is not a guide for beginners. If you are satisfied with casual line clears, stop reading now. This methodology is engineered to push your score past the psychological barriers of 100k, 500k, and beyond. We are deconstructing the Tetris scoring engine, reverse-engineering its core mechanics, and building a tactical framework designed for leaderboard domination. Our focus is on Risk Management and maximizing the Line Clear Multiplier—the true engine of high scores.
To reach an elite level, you must internalize these habits until they become reflex. They are the non-negotiable prerequisites for high-speed, high-score play.
Golden Habit 1: Maintain the Well (The T-Slot) - In classic Tetris, the single most critical decision is where to leave the vertical gap for the long 'I' piece. This "Well" must be maintained in the same column (usually the far left or far right) and must remain one block wide. This habit is critical because it ensures you always have the ultimate "bailout" piece available, turning potential game-ending stack problems into perfect Tetris clears.
Golden Habit 2: Think Six Moves Ahead - Average players react to the current piece. Elite players react to the piece in the Hold Queue and the Next Queue (often showing 3 pieces). This habit is about calculating the board state after all six pieces have been placed (Current + Hold + Next 4). This foresight enables Perfect Placement—positioning the current piece not for its immediate effect, but to perfectly facilitate the next three pieces, drastically minimizing misdrops.
Golden Habit 3: Master the Soft Drop & Lock Delay - The difference between a slow player and a fast player is the speed of piece delivery. Soft-dropping (gently pushing the piece down) and immediately executing a Hard Drop when the piece is in its final rotation position shaves off precious milliseconds. Mastering the Lock Delay (the brief moment after the piece lands before it locks) allows for final, crucial rotations and shifts (T-Spins), maximizing efficiency under pressure.
The Tetris scoring engine rewards exponential risk. A single line clear is minimal; a Tetris (4 lines at once) is high-value. However, the true jackpot is maintaining a Back-to-Back (B2B) Tetris streak and leveraging T-Spins.
Advanced Tactic: The "Continuous B2B Engine"
Advanced Tactic: The "T-Spin Opener"
Most players think that keeping the board as flat and low as possible is the best way to play. They are wrong. The true secret to breaking the 500k score barrier is to do the opposite: Intentionally build a controlled, high stack up to the critical "Danger Zone" boundary (lines 16-18) while maintaining the Tetris Well.
Here's why this works: When the stack is high, the pieces have less vertical travel time, which significantly increases your effective speed (pieces spend less time on screen before landing). This forces you to make faster decisions, but in the hands of an elite player, it means you can cycle through pieces at a terrifying rate, maximizing the B2B multiplier and reducing the time the game takes to reach high-level gravity. If you only play low, you are wasting time—the resource you cannot afford to lose. The highest scores are achieved by those who master high-speed stacking near the top, where every decision is life or death.
Train your speed against the clock; execute your strategy against the stack. Go dominate.

You score points by clearing lines. Clearing multiple lines at once gives significantly more points (e.g., a "Tetris" which is clearing four lines simultaneously). Points are also awarded for 'soft drops' and 'hard drops.' As you score more, the level increases, and the pieces fall faster, increasing the challenge.
