Triazzle Help

Triazzle is based on the popular puzzle by Dan Gilbert. It looks deceptively simple but there's only one solution out of millions of possibilities. Good luck!

How To Play

To start the game, click anywhere on the screen or select Begin Game from the File menu. You can also create a custom board or play a predefined one from the Board menu.

Selecting Pieces
You can select any piece by clicking on it and holding the left mouse button down (letting go of the mouse button de-selects the piece). In a pile of pieces, clicking on any piece will bring it to the top of the pile.

Moving Pieces
You can move a piece by clicking it and moving the mouse with the button held down. When the piece is dragged over an open space of the puzzle, that space becomes highlighted. When a space is highlighted, the piece will snap into place if you release the mouse button.

Rotating Pieces
You can rotate a piece by clicking on a piece. You can rotate a piece counter-clockwise by clicking the right mouse button.

You can also rotate a piece when you're dragging it by tapping the Spacebar.

Solving the Puzzle
When you solve a puzzle correctly, all the creatures in the puzzle will come to life. If your completion time was exceptional, you can enter your name in the High Scores list.
