Verified opening-board solution
The rules you need
- Tap a piece in Storage to rotate it, then drag it onto open cells. Pieces do not fall automatically.
- A filled row or column clears. Freeing a Storage slot by placing one shape is a different event from clearing a line.
- Prevent Storage overflow. Read the campaign goal separately from the placements display: this level can finish before the display reaches eight.
Clear the first row with five placements, not eight
Use a 10-column grid with row 1 at the top and column 1 at the left. The shown opening pieces are a green S, orange L, blue J, cyan I and purple T. If your starting pieces differ, build a complete row from what is actually available instead of copying these placements blindly.
Build almost all of row 3 with four pieces
Place green S at r2c3–4 and r3c2–3. Put orange L at r2c6 and r3c4–6, then blue J at r2c7 and r3c7–9. Turn cyan I vertical and place it in column 1, rows 1–4. Row 3 now lacks only column 10. The screenshot shows these four placements.

Turn the T until its three-cell shaft is vertical on the right and its middle arm points left. Place the shaft at r3c10, r4c10 and r5c10, with the arm at r4c9. Row 3 fills and clears. The game confirms Victory!, 3 stars, score 1,000, Clear lines 1/1 and Placements 5/8.

Why this sequence works
The horizontal parts of S, L and J cover columns 2–9 of the same row, the upright I fills column 1 and the T fills column 10 without blocking the next row. Finishing in five placements instead of eight also helps your stars: fewer placements and bigger combos score better.
Mistakes to avoid
- A tall cyan I belongs at the left edge in this sequence; leaving it horizontal would occupy cells needed by the other shapes.
- Turn the T by its visible shape, not a fixed number of clicks after a previous experiment. Its arm must point left and its shaft must fit inside column 10.
Reverse Blocks rules: common questions
What are the block puzzle rules in Reverse Blocks?
Rotate a piece in Storage, drag it onto open cells and complete a full row or column to clear it. Pieces never fall. Keep Storage from overflowing as new pieces arrive.
Why did Level 1 finish at Placements 5/8?
The required line was cleared within five placements. Eight is the limit, not a target; fewer placements earn a better result.
Can I ignore the arrival timer in a campaign level?
No. New pieces keep arriving while you think. Placing a shape frees a Storage slot, but the timer still matters.
How is Reverse Blocks different from Gridora?
Reverse Blocks uses timed arrivals, a six-slot Storage and rotation on a ten-column board. Gridora is an 8×8 block puzzle where you place shapes from a tray.
