Tangram

Tangram tutorial

Drag the red triangle into the outline.

Tap it to turn it, or use ↺ to turn it the other way. Press A or D to turn it, or double-click it. Biggest pieces first: they have the fewest places to go.

About this tutorial

This is an interactive walkthrough of how to play tangram. It solves one simple shape with you a piece at a time, explaining each move as you make it, then hands you the last three pieces to place on your own. It takes a couple of minutes, with no clock and nothing to lose. For a more in-depth guide, see how to play.

Where to go next

Try the daily tangram, one shape a day against the clock, or browse the shape library of silhouettes, with hints when you get stuck. Every shape has been checked by a solver, so if one will not come together, back out the last piece that trapped a space and try again.
