Block Blast Corner Strategy

Corners have only two expansion directions, edges have three, and the center has four. Pieces that fit corners should be handled early.

Quick answer: Use compact squares and L pieces in corners, build smooth edges, and preserve central flexibility for more restrictive shapes.
Block Blast corner-first placement strategy

Best corner pieces

Small L pieces, 2x2 squares, and shapes that create a flat boundary work well in corners.

Recommended order

  • Handle corners.
  • Build compact edges.
  • Protect the center.
  • Use small pieces to finish lines.

Corner-first does not mean filling every edge

The goal is a smooth boundary, not a ring of jagged blocks around an isolated center.
