Block Puzzle Tips: How to Play Reverse Blocks Better
Reverse Blocks is a block puzzle game without falling pieces: shapes wait in Storage, and new ones keep arriving on a timer. These block puzzle tips and tricks help you keep Storage free, find room for awkward shapes and set up bigger clears.
Play Reverse Blocks →1. Keep Storage under control first
Storage holds six pieces, and a new piece arrives on a timer. When Storage overflows, the run ends — so placing pieces in time matters more than any single clever move. If Storage is nearly full, take the quick safe placement now and plan the big combo later.
2. Protect the centre of the board
Pieces can go anywhere on the 10×20 board, but awkward shapes need open space around them. Keep the centre clear so large and odd shapes can still reach several positions; fill the edges and corners first.
3. Save small pieces for tight gaps
A small piece fits almost everywhere, a large one does not. Do not spend a flexible small piece when a larger shape has only one place it can go — place the large shape first and keep the small one for the gap that nothing else fits.
4. Rotate in Storage before you drag
Tap a piece in Storage to rotate it, and check the shape before you drag it to the board. Looking at all the pieces in Storage together shows which one fits the next gap best.
5. Build towards row-and-column combos
A full row or a full column clears. When one placement completes a row and a column at the same time, both clear together as a combo. Leave a single cell open where a row and a column cross, then fill it with the right piece.
6. In Campaign, finish early
Campaign levels set a goal, such as one cleared line, and a placement limit. The limit is a maximum, not a target: fewer placements and bigger combos earn more stars. Campaign Level 1 can be finished in five placements out of eight — the how-to-play guide shows how.
