Tetris Attack/Puzzle extra rounds 1-2

Congratulations on making it to the extra puzzles! How can you tell? Well not much indicates it, but the background of the puzzle selection screen will be a dark blue. That's it, except for obviously the puzzles themselves being different.

Remember, the bottom row is r1 and the left column is c1.

Puzzle E1-1
Moves required: 3

This one's got two solutions, and both are the type where everything clears when it's on the ground.

Puzzle E1-2
Moves required: 2

There's really not a whole lot of options for purple in only 2 moves.

Puzzle E1-3
Moves required: 2

Ooh, I know this one, right? No, that's not it. You don't have to clear 6 panels in one chunk.

Puzzle E1-4
Moves required: 2

The greens do not stay vertical.

Puzzle E1-5
Moves required: 2

If you got close, then maybe try starting off the clears on a different color.

Puzzle E1-6
Moves required: 3

Good old column thinking still helps a lot. Start with the color that needs the most help!

Puzzle E1-7
Moves required: 2

Pick the final setup for the purples correctly, and it becomes a cinch.

Puzzle E1-8
Moves required: 2

Symmetry is not always a good thing.

Puzzle E1-9
Moves required: 3

So many purples! If you don't come up with the right setup, maybe concentrate on an easier color.

Puzzle E1-10
Moves required: 2

Do you see a similarity between this and 3 puzzles ago?

Puzzle E2-1
Moves required: 3

But then sometimes symmetry is a good thing. This puzzle's a little bit like a more complicated Puzzle 3-7. Or you could be sneaky and go an entirely different direction with the solution.

Puzzle E2-2
Moves required: 3

Some colors look pretty good already, so you can leave them untouched. And what may be your first instinct for what to do may not be too far off actually.

Puzzle E2-3
Moves required: 3

Layer-wise, these solutions are going to feel like they won't work. Columns will get you there however!

Puzzle E2-4
Moves required: 3

Go ahead and try your first instinct. Then simply adjust as necessary.

Puzzle E2-5
Moves required: 3

The obvious is not always wrong.

Puzzle E2-6
Moves required: 1

I don't think they could make the solution stick out any more. Have fun, and welcome to the world of chains so large the game doesn't even keep track!

Puzzle E2-7
Moves required: 3

Count! And think about what needs to happen for the dark blues to match. This puzzle involves making a combo type that is only possible through chains.

Puzzle E2-8
Moves required: 4

There's not many options when there's 4 tiles of a color, and that happens 3 times here! Columns and layers both apply here.

Puzzle E2-9
Moves required: 3

That chain that looks all nice and pre-setup? Leave some of it be, but don't leave all of it the same.

Puzzle E2-10
Moves required: 3

Don't think in layers here. If what you're trying to do isn't working, maybe try starting the clears on a different color.
