Questions in this page

Q1. What kind of game is Woodoku?

A. A wood block puzzle game by Tripledot Studios. You place three pieces at a time onto a 9x9 grid; filling a row, column, or 3x3 box clears those tiles. The game ends when none of the offered pieces can fit. The visual style is wood and warm tones; the gameplay is precise and unforgiving.

Q2. How do I score points?

A. Placing pieces gives small points. Clearing rows, columns, or 3x3 boxes gives larger points. Clearing multiple lines or boxes simultaneously triggers combos, which give the biggest multipliers. High scores come from combos, not from individual placements.

Q3. Why did the game end when I still had room?

A. Each round gives you three pieces; if none of them fit, the game ends. Holding open space is not enough; the open space has to match the shapes the game offers you. Many board locks happen because the player created spaces that no incoming piece can fit.

Q4. What is the best opening strategy?

A. Spread pieces evenly rather than clumping them in one corner. Aim to leave a few flat lines and 3x3 boxes near completion at all times so a small piece can trigger a clear. Stacking everything in one quadrant leaves the other side starved for clears.

Q5. How do combos actually work?

A. When a single placement clears two or more lines or boxes, the points multiply. A placement that simultaneously clears a row and a 3x3 box scores much more than two separate clears. Set up combo opportunities by leaving lines and boxes one or two tiles from completion.

Q6. Are there ads?

A. Optional ads for continues and minor rewards. The base game is free with light advertising. There is no real progression to gate, so ads do not block play.

Q7. Is there a high-score leaderboard?

A. Yes. Personal best and global leaderboards. The chase for higher scores is most of the game once you have learned the basics.

Q8. What platforms is it on?

A. iOS, Android, web. Tripledot has kept the game stable and polished across releases.
