'''Tetris''' is a puzzle game that was originally created by Russian mathematician Alexy Pajitnov. It has become the most popular and well-known puzzle game.

=Gameplay=

In ''Tetris'', players are given tetrominoes of several different varieties. The player must arrange them to make a solid line. Each time a line is completed, that row disappears. The player can keep playing as long as the tetominoes keep falling.
