How to play Blockables
The objective of Blockables is to uncover a secret 25-letter phrase that runs across the grid in a connected path. This phrase is the solution you build toward by solving smaller word clues and placing their letters in the correct tiles.
How the Clue System Works
Each clue is linked to a tile group by both color and number. To get started, identify a clue and find its matching tile group on the board. The first letter of the clue’s answer must be placed in the tile marked with a number; the rest of the letters must follow in sequence, touching the previous tile either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
Answers must maintain a connection. For example, if a word is three letters long, each letter must border the next; there should be no skipping tiles or dropping letters in isolated spaces.
Placement Matters
Unlike traditional word games, placement is part of the challenge. Even if you know the answer, it won’t count unless the letters are arranged correctly. You’ll often need to reorient your approach by checking how each clue fits into the visual space.
The puzzle itself acts as a guide. Color groups help distinguish where each answer belongs, and the numbering indicates where you begin.
Puzzle Tools to Help
To assist with orientation, use the Clockwise and Counter buttons. These preview the direction of the final 25-letter phrase and can help you understand how your answers are shaping the grid.
If you’re stuck, two helpful tools are built in:
-
A check will verify whether your current placements are correct.
-
Reveal can uncover the answer to a clue if you're having trouble progressing.
There’s no penalty for using these tools. They’re ideal for learning how the game's logic works, especially for new players.

About Blockables
Blockables is a web-based daily word puzzle designed for players who enjoy a serious mental workout. Each puzzle challenges you to solve smartly written clues and place the answers into color-coded tiles that form a hidden 25-letter phrase. This phrase snakes across the board in surprising ways, requiring attention to both language and layout.
What gives the Blockables game its staying power is how it combines word knowledge with visual pattern recognition. Answers don’t fit in tidy rows or columns; instead, they wrap, curve, and stretch in all directions. Every clue solved brings you one step closer to decoding the larger phrase that ties the board together.
Each puzzle is color-coded to help guide your placements. Clue answers must start in a specific numbered box and continue through adjacent tiles, including diagonals. You’ll need to think spatially and carefully review how letters interact on the board.
With a growing archive of over 600 handcrafted puzzles, Blockables covers a wide range of themes. Unlike traditional crosswords, which follow a strict grid, Blockables introduces irregular shapes and clue structures that demand different problem-solving skills. If you’re someone who enjoys visual logic or has tried games like Boggle or Wordle, this game brings something new to your routine.
Each day presents a new puzzle to solve, no timers, no rush, no pressure. You can play entirely in your browser, making it easy to enjoy whether you’re at home or taking a break during the day.
