About Tangram Clash

Tangram Clash takes the classic seven-piece dissection puzzle and turns it into a speed duel. Both players get identical piece sets and an identical silhouette; first correct fill wins the round. There is no turn-taking and no mercy — you hear your rival's pieces snapping into place while you are still debating whether that triangle is the one that finally fits the corner.

Rounds run about forty seconds, and the fifty silhouette puzzles scale from gentle foxes to genuine brain-twisters that have ruined more than one study break. A hint system exists but costs points, which keeps it honest: the scoreboard tracks solves, hints and stolen wins in equal detail. Between rounds the game shows the winning arrangement for two seconds — long enough to learn, short enough to sting.

The versus format is the whole hook, but a solo zen mode lets you work through the silhouette library without the audible panic of a competitor two inches away. It runs on any browser, works with touch or mouse, and needs no account. Bring a friend; the puzzles are mathematically fair but the trash talk is on you.

How to play

Desktop Player 1: drag with mouse, R rotate, F flip. Player 2: drag on the right half of a touchscreen, or share the mouse in hot-seat mode.
Mobile Split-screen drag: each player works their own silhouette on their half of the screen; double-tap a piece to rotate, long-press to flip.

Tips & tricks

  1. Place the two large triangles first — they anchor half of every silhouette.
  2. If a corner fights you, the piece is wrong; correct fits sit flush without nudging.
  3. Watch your rival's board in your peripheral vision; mirroring their progress is faster than solving cold.
  4. Spend hints early or not at all — a late hint spends the same points for less time saved.

FAQ

How do two players share one mouse?
Hot-seat mode splits each round into mirrored halves with a shared input, or you can play true split-screen on any touchscreen where each player uses their own half.
Are the puzzles always the same?
The silhouette library has fifty fixed puzzles; versus mode shuffles the order and matching pair so repeats rarely line up.
Is Tangram Clash suitable for kids?
Yes — the mechanics are a classic classroom puzzle, difficulty scales gently, and there are no ads mid-round, only between rounds.
