The main objective in Fill The Gap isn't to "win" in a traditional sense, but to achieve the highest score possible before the board fills up. You score points for each block you place and earn significantly more for clearing lines.
The real key to a high score is creating combos-clearing two or more lines with a single piece.
The game ends when you're presented with a set of three blocks and there is no available space on the grid to place any of them.
Success depends on careful planning and efficient use of the board space to delay this inevitable outcome for as long as you can.
Unlike classic Tetris, the blocks don't fall from the top, and you can't rotate them. You are given three shapes at a time and must place all three before getting a new set. This requires you to think ahead.
Always look at all three available pieces and plan where they might go before placing the first one.
A good strategy is to build from the corners and edges inwards. This tends to leave larger, more manageable open areas in the center.
Try to avoid creating single, isolated empty squares, as these can only be filled by a 1x1 block, which is a rare piece.
You can enjoy Fill The Gap for free directly in your web browser. There are no downloads or installations required.

The goal in Fill The Gap is to score as many points as possible by clearing lines on a 10x10 grid. You are given three block shapes at a time, and you must place them on the board to form complete horizontal or vertical lines.
Once a line is complete, it disappears, freeing up space.
Use your mouse to drag and drop the pieces from the bottom of the screen onto the grid. A left click will pick up a block, and releasing the click will place it.
On a mobile device, you can simply touch and drag the pieces into position.
The game continues as you place blocks and clear lines. You'll receive a new set of three random blocks after you've placed the current set. The game ends when there is no legal move left for any of the three available blocks.
Plan Ahead - You can see all three upcoming pieces. Plan placements for all of them, not just the one you're currently holding. Avoid Islands - Try not to create single empty squares surrounded by blocks.
They are very difficult to fill and can end your game quickly. Prioritize Combos - Clearing multiple lines with a single piece grants a large score bonus. Always look for opportunities to set up these multi-line clears.
Keep Corners Clear - Placing large, awkward pieces is much easier if you have open space near the corners and edges of the board. Don't Rush - There's no time limit.
Take a moment to analyze the board and your available pieces to find the optimal placement.
