Candy Blocks

Why We Picked Candy Blocks

Candy Blocks is one of those puzzles that looks finished long before it is, because clicking to place and confirm leaves gaps you cannot see yet. It starts generous and gets tighter as the space fills, which is a fair difficulty curve. The difficulty is spatial rather than mechanical, which is the harder kind to fake. Nothing about it is novel, and everything about it is finished. The page's own numbers: 1,029 plays, 3.5 out of 5 from 20 ratings, and 113 of 172 on the puzzle shelf.

How to Play

What you actually do, in order:

• Click to select, click again to confirm; there is no keyboard fallback.
• Finish the board in front of you; nothing in it is timed unless the game puts a clock on screen.
• Treat the first board as practice and the second as the attempt that counts.

Editor’s Note

Best with a mouse; the tap targets on a phone are usable but tighter. No account, no download. Puzzle pages tend to be light, which is why the larger boards still open quickly on a phone with a weak connection.
