How to play Tangram
Tangram gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Fill the square target with seven pieces, without gaps or overlap. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Look at what changes after your first action.
Arrange seven pieces into the square target. Rotate or flip a piece to fit; this game currently offers one target shape.
Practice beyond the first move
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Refer to the controls when needed.
Understand the aim
Fill the square target with seven pieces, without gaps or overlap. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
A walkthrough of the rules
- Drag a selected piece.
- Rotate in 45-degree steps or flip it.
- Use snapping for precise alignment.
- Check the layout or use one-piece assistance.
Input guidance
Mouse/touch dragging and rotate/flip buttons. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
An example to follow
The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Take a moment to compare.
Where a round can go wrong
Overlaps do not count as filling the target. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
