Tetris Guide: How to Play, Tips & Strategy

🎮 Comment jouer

Tetris drops seven shapes (tetrominoes) that you rotate and slide to complete full horizontal lines, which then clear. Speed rises over time, so the goal is not just to survive but to set up multi-line clears for big scores while keeping your stack flat.

🎯 Astuces et stratégie

Keep your stack as flat and low as possible — bumpy terrain creates holes you can't fill.
Leave one column (usually the far right) empty as a well, and drop the vertical I-piece there for a Tetris (four lines at once).
Plan around the next-piece preview — decide where the current piece goes based on what's coming.
Never cover an empty cell with an overhang; clearing the line above a hole is the only way to free it.
Use rotation and last-second slides ('finesse') to tuck pieces into gaps as the drop speeds up.

❓ Questions fréquentes

What is a 'Tetris' in the game?

Clearing four lines at once with the long I-piece is called a Tetris — it scores far more than clearing lines one at a time.

How do you get a high score in Tetris?

Favour multi-line clears (especially Tetrises) over single lines, keep the stack flat, and survive into higher speed levels where each clear is worth more.

Does Tetris ever end?

There is no winning screen — you play until the stack reaches the top. The challenge is how long you last and how high you score as speed climbs.
