Tangrams

Tangrams strips the spatial logic puzzle genre down to its absolute, most mathematically pure and elegantly simple core, delivering a flawless digital adaptation of the ancient Chinese dissection puzzle. Set against a clean, visually minimalist grid, players are presented with a specific silhouette (the target shape) and exactly seven flat, brightly colored geometric pieces (tans): five triangles of various sizes, one square, and one parallelogram. Your objective is intensely focused and brutally unforgiving: you must physically drag, rotate, and mirror these seven pieces to perfectly recreate the target silhouette without any pieces overlapping, and you must use absolutely all seven pieces. The atmosphere is deeply cerebral and intentionally demanding, requiring an intense level of forward-thinking, geometric routing, and spatial visualization. The visual presentation is highly functional, utilizing crisp, contrasting colors to ensure the complex geometry remains perfectly readable. Tangrams is the ultimate brain-training routine for spatial reasoning.

How to Play

  • The primary objective is to fill the given target silhouette perfectly using all seven geometric pieces.
  • Use your Mouse to click and hold a colored piece to drag it around the board.
  • Rotation: Click or tap a piece (without dragging) to rotate it incrementally.
  • Mirroring: Double-click (or use a specific UI button) on the parallelogram to flip/mirror it horizontally. (The other shapes are symmetrical and do not need mirroring).
  • Place the pieces into the silhouette. The pieces absolutely CANNOT overlap each other.
  • The puzzle is solved when the silhouette is completely filled and no pieces remain outside.

Tips and Tricks

  • Place the Large Triangles First (The Golden Rule): The two massive triangles are the hardest pieces to fit because their sheer size severely limits their valid placements. Always identify where these two pieces must go first. They usually form the bulky core of the shape (like the body of an animal or the roof of a house).
  • Look for Right Angles: Five of the seven pieces are right-angled triangles, and one is a square. Look at the target silhouette and identify the sharp 90-degree corners. Those corners MUST be filled by the points of the triangles or the square.
  • The Parallelogram is the Key: The parallelogram is the only piece that is not symmetrical. It is almost always the trickiest piece to place because it often requires mirroring to fit specific diagonal slopes on the silhouette.
  • Break Down the Silhouette: Do not look at the shape as a "Swan." Look at the neck of the swan and ask yourself, "What combination of my pieces can make a long, thin rectangle with a slanted top?" (Usually a square and a small triangle).
  • Reset if Stuck: If you have five pieces jammed together and the last two don't fit, pull everything out and start over. It is faster to execute a fresh mental plan than to tweak a fundamentally flawed arrangement.
