The Figures
Press a figure to place it. Gold = placed, the stars show how much help you needed.
How to play
Drag the pieces onto the figure. Tap a piece to select it and tap again to rotate it one eighth of a turn, and mirror the parallelogram when it is facing the wrong way. All seven pieces must be used, and none may overlap another or stick out. Stuck? 💡 shows where a piece should go.
Tetris pieces: the pieces are made up of four squares – I, O, T, S, Z, J and L. Tap a piece to select it and tap again to rotate it a quarter turn. The pieces snap into the squares and cannot be flipped, so think about which piece fits where. All the pieces in the box must be used.
