Play Tetris Online for Free

This free, single-player Tetris game runs in your browser. Fit falling four-square pieces together to clear full rows and score points. Play with a keyboard on a computer or tap the game buttons on your phone.

How to Play Tetris

Press Space or tap the big blue Drop button to start. Use Left and Right to move, Up to rotate, and Down to make the piece fall faster. Space drops the piece straight to the bottom. Press P to pause or resume, S to toggle sound, and R to end the round and return to the ready screen.

Before you start, use Left and Right to choose a speed from 1 to 6. Use Up and Down to choose 0 to 10 starting rows. The Next panel shows the upcoming piece. During a pause, Space and the arrow keys resume play. Up also rotates the piece.

Clearing rows and scoring

Fill a row and it flashes and disappears. Blocks above it fall into the gap. Each piece scores 10 points when it locks, plus 2 for each speed level above level 1. Clearing 1, 2, 3, or 4 rows at once awards 100, 300, 700, or 1,500 bonus points. Your speed increases every 20 rows, up to level 6. The round ends when locked blocks reach the top.
