Your first match

Choose Practice to learn the game before entering Competition. Two-player rooms count toward your ranking; practice against the computer does not affect it.

Create or join a room

Name your room and add a password if you want a private match. Once the other player joins, both players select Ready and the host starts the match. Locked rooms require a password. You cannot join a room that is full or already in a match.

You split, your opponent chooses

The block has 9 cells. Split it into two pieces of 3 to 6 cells each. Each piece must be connected along cell edges. Players alternate splitting and choosing across rounds; the player who did not split chooses first.

Choose and place a piece

Tap the piece you want. You may rotate it by 90, 180 or 270 degrees, but you cannot mirror it. The entire piece must fit on the board without overlapping occupied cells. Check the preview, then confirm the position.

Clear lines and score points

Full rows and columns clear at the same time. Clearing k lines in one turn earns 5 × k × (k + 1) points: 10 for 1 line, 30 for 2 lines and 60 for 3 lines. Remaining cells do not fall. If there is no legal placement, you are blocked and lose 8 points.

Timers and time limits

Standard matches allow 12 seconds to split, 6 seconds to choose and 10 seconds to place. If time runs out while splitting or choosing, a legal option is used under the rules. Running out of placement time costs 5 points if a legal placement exists. If none exists, only the blocked penalty of 8 points applies.

Winning and rankings

A match lasts 8 rounds. The higher total score wins; equal scores are a draw. Match score and ranking rating are different. Only results confirmed by the server count toward your ranking. Complete your placement matches to appear in the season rankings.

Connection and rematches

Timers continue during a disconnection. Being disconnected for 30 consecutive seconds or inactive for 2 full rounds may result in a forfeit. A server problem may cause a match not to count. Both players must agree before a rematch begins.

Friends and chat

Use a player code to add friends and invite them to a room. Chat in the lobby, waiting room or match, and send preset expressions. Do not share passwords or verification codes. Use the game's reporting tools to report harassment.

Your wardrobe

There are default outfits, free items and premium items. Choose items for your male or female character; each character keeps a separate outfit. Try items on first, then equip them once you own them. Outfits provide no competitive advantage. This website does not accept top-ups.

Keep your account safe

Find your player code and available account-linking options in Account. A guest account depends on data stored on your device. Before changing devices or deleting the app, make sure you have a way to recover your account. Never send your sign-in code to anyone else.

Play comfortably

Adjust music, effects, text size and reduced motion in Settings. When reporting a problem, include your player code, game version, device, the time it happened and the steps that caused it. Attach an image if available. Do not send passwords or verification codes.
