Block Corner Placement
A simple block puzzle prompt about using corners without trapping useful board space.
Difficulty: Normal
Corners can help organize a block puzzle board, but only if they keep space open.
Puzzle prompt
Imagine a 5x5 board with an empty top-left corner. You have an L-shaped piece.
Choose the better plan:
- Place the L-shape tightly into the corner and keep the center open.
- Place the L-shape in the middle and leave tiny gaps near the edge.
Hint
Good corner moves usually make the board cleaner, not more broken.
Answer
The better plan is to place the L-shape tightly into the corner while keeping the center open. This preserves more flexible space for future pieces.
