How to Play Tetris

Learn the goal, key controls, and a few simple strategy tips so you can stack smarter and clear more lines.

Objective

Fit falling tetrominoes together to complete horizontal lines. Completed lines disappear and score points. The game ends when the stack reaches the top.

Controls

  • Move Left

    Press Left to shift a piece left.

  • Move Right

    Press Right to shift a piece right.

  • Soft Drop

    Press Down to make the piece fall faster.

  • Rotate

    Press Up to rotate the current piece.

  • Focus Game

    Click inside the game area if the keyboard controls do not respond.

Tips

Keep the stack as flat as possible, leave room for the long I-piece when you can, and avoid awkward overhangs unless you already know how you plan to clear them.
