What is Relax Blocks
Relax Blocks is a low-pressure puzzle where you clear colored blocks from a grid at your own pace. It's designed to help you unwind, not to add more stress to your day.
How to Play
Tap or click on groups of two or more adjacent blocks of the same color to remove them from the board. The goal is to clear as many blocks as possible, and sometimes the entire board, before you run out of moves or space.
Tips for Playing
- Look ahead to see how clearing one group might cause other blocks to fall into useful positions.
- Prioritize clearing blocks from the bottom to create chain reactions above.
- Don't rush; the game rewards careful observation over speed.
- If you're stuck, try clearing the largest group first to open up the board.
- Plan a few moves ahead to avoid leaving single blocks that are hard to clear.
