— The basics

What is Wood Block?

Wood Block is a calm, clever block puzzle played on an 8×8 wooden board. You are given three shape pieces at a time and must place them anywhere they fit. Fill a complete row or column and it clears away, making space for more.

The twist is that pieces do not fall — you place them yourself, and they only refill once all three are used. That means you must plan ahead so you never run out of room. The game quietly ends when no remaining piece fits anywhere, so every placement is a small decision that matters. It is relaxing yet genuinely strategic.
