Go on, tell me, what is the best strategy for getting high scores in the computer game of Tetris. My maximum is 117k, but the leaders are on 900k, how are they doing it ?

My method, build blocks of four at a time, is there a better way ?

It's fixed just like snake and all the other JAVA games.

Ok, if it is fixed, how do I get a high score?

This is a matter of pride this is, I have been struggling with an online version of this game for two years now and I have not got past fourth position despite trying different strategies. I really fail to see how someone can play at level 56, level ten kills me.

Aneirin sometimes in life we must just accept that some people are just better at wasting their lives playing videogames

Do you really want to be one of those types that pigeonholes squares? Well do ya because that's whatta happen.

It's the only video type game I play online, perhaps it appeals to my sense of logic.

I sometimes play jewel quest on the mobile now there is a puzzle solving game. The problem with Tetris is you don't have all the information to make the correct choices thus it has little to do with logic and more to do with reaction time and planning.

Don't know how well it will work. Google tetris strategy and a lot of posts pop up.
