Before the Drop

Decide what matters before deciding where to drop.

Clearing first · Two-piece handover

Same two pieces, prioritize clearing. Some holes are allowed, but count their cost.

Hard constraints:Both pieces must fit.Challenge:Under those constraints, reach this round's highest weighted score: 54.43. Tied best routes count.

Weights locked. Review experiments do not change this round's score.

Rotate and move sideways to preview the landing. Drop commits it. Full rows disappear. No timer or sliding. Evaluation uses the final board after both pieces. A hole is an empty cell covered by blocks above.

Compare the whole handover

Save placements to compare immediate changes and later costs. The two-step ceiling assumes you choose the next move correctly; it does not place pieces for you.

Preview a placement and add it to comparison. Rotate or change columns to add another plan.

Scoring scale and search scope

Convert factors to 0–100: line clears = 25 × total rows, capped at 100; fewer holes = max(0, 100 − 5 × final holes); low height = 100 × (14 − final height) ÷ 14. Multiply by each weight and divide by the sum of weights. This is the game's tradeoff rule, not a universal standard.

The ceiling exhaustively checks at most the two remaining pieces. It assumes no benefit after them. Equal scores may have several best plans.
