About Tetris
Tetris is the iconic tile-matching puzzle game created by Alexey Pajitnov in 1984. Geometric pieces called tetrominoes fall from the top of the playfield, and players must arrange them to form complete horizontal lines, which are then cleared from the board.
How to Play
Tetrominoes fall from the top. Move them left or right, rotate them, and drop them to fill complete horizontal lines. Each completed line is cleared and earns you points. The game ends when pieces stack up to the top.
Tips & Strategies
- Clear multiple lines simultaneously to earn bonus points.
- Keep the playing field as flat as possible to avoid early game-over.
- Use the Hold feature to save a useful piece for later.
- Watch the Next piece preview to plan your moves ahead.
- Master T-spins and other advanced techniques for higher scores.
