Blockwright on iPhone mid-game: a 9×9 board of coloured blocks, a +10 score popping up and a combo ×2 badge

How it plays

Three pieces at a time, no rotation, and a board that rewards planning ahead.

Drag & drop

Place each piece anywhere it fits. Pieces never rotate, so choose the spot before you commit.

Clear lines

Fill a row, a column, or a 3×3 box to clear it. One placement can clear several at once.

Chain combos

Keep clearing and the multiplier climbs, all the way up to ×8.

Bank hammers

Every 5 cleared lines earns a hammer. Smash one block to free a stuck board.

Two ways to play

Free Play

Chase your best

A fresh board every time, as often as you like. Your best score sits in the corner, waiting to be beaten.

Daily

One shot, same pieces

Everyone gets the same piece sequence each day, and you get one attempt. A new board turns over at midnight where you are.

Built natively for iPhone and iPad

The app isn’t the browser game in a wrapper. It’s a React Native port that runs the same rules engine, with drag gestures computed on the UI thread so pieces stay locked to your finger.

Prefer not to install anything? The original is still free to play in your browser.

  • Haptics on every placement and clear
  • Share a score card when a board ends

Which devices can play Blockwright?

Blockwright runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 16.4 or later. You can also play the original version free in any web browser at paddyb.com/blockwright.
