How to Play Tetris
- Save your power-ups or special moves for the late rounds
- Chain early moves into combos — the scoring snowballs fast
- Start the round and learn the control rhythm in the first minute
- Restart quickly after a loss; repetition is where mastery comes from
Tips & Strategy
- Learn one pattern at a time instead of reacting to everything at once
- Sound cues are real information — play with audio on when you can
- Take a short break after three losses in a row; tilt costs more points than skill gaps
- Consistency beats flashiness: a safe line every round scores more than one lucky run
