This challenge is about protecting open space.

Puzzle prompt

You have three pieces: a 3-block line, a 2x2 square, and a single block.

Which piece should you usually place first if the board has one large open area?

Hint

Larger pieces need more room. Smaller pieces can usually fit later.

Answer

Place the 2x2 square or the 3-block line before the single block. The single block is flexible, so it is safer to save it until the larger shapes have a clean place.
