Packing puzzle solver

Stuck on a level? Pick it and see one complete solution, or build your own board by blocking 6 squares. The solver uses the same piece engine as the game.

Packing puzzle level 1
▶ Play the puzzle

Pick a level and press Solve.

Blocks: 2×5 · 3×4 · 5×1 · 2×2 · 1×4 · 2×3 · 3×3 · 2×4 (58 squares) + 6 blocked squares = 8 × 8.

How the packing puzzle solver works

It tries the block with the fewest legal spots first and backtracks as soon as a block has nowhere to go. This is the same search that powers Hint in the free packing puzzle, so its solutions always match the game rules: blocks may rotate 90°, never overlap, and must sit fully inside the board.

Use it as a polyomino puzzle solver for real wooden puzzles

  • Many wooden packing puzzles use rectangles plus a few blockers. Mark the blocked squares in Custom board
  • If the solver says there is no solution, check that exactly 6 squares are blocked and that no region is cut off
  • Want the full challenge? Play the level first and only use the solver to check your answer
