Block puzzles like Block Blast

Woodoku. Tripledot Studios' wooden 9x9 board. You clear rows, columns and 3x3 squares, so it mixes block placing with a little sudoku.
Blockudoku. Easybrain's take on the same idea: a 9x9 grid, three pieces at a time, combos for clearing several lines at once.
1010! Gram Games' 2014 hit on a 10x10 grid. It set the formula many of these games still follow.
Tetris. The 1984 original, with official apps on phones. Pieces fall, so there is time pressure that Block Blast does not have.
Threes! Sirvo's sliding number puzzle. Not blocks, but the same short sessions and the same urge to plan one move ahead.

How to see fewer ads in block puzzles

Most free block puzzles make their money from ads, which is the top complaint about Block Blast. Check the settings and the shop for a one-time remove-ads purchase, which many puzzle apps offer. Games in a subscription like Apple Arcade have no ads at all. Paid puzzle games with a single price also skip them.

Avoid apps that copy a hit game's name and icon. They often have more ads, not fewer.

Make a block puzzle with a twist

The 8x8 rules are simple, which makes them easy to change. A few ideas to try:

Faces as pieces. Every block shape is made of your friends' faces, and a cleared row makes them cheer.
Two-player board. You and a friend take turns on one grid. Whoever leaves no room for the other wins.
Gravity flip. Every five clears the board turns upside down and loose blocks fall.
Daily board. Everyone gets the same pieces today. Compare scores at night.
