Best block puzzle apps for iPhone (2026)

Block puzzle games are one of the most crowded categories on the App Store, and almost all of the biggest names are free-to-play with ads between rounds. RowShift is coming to iPhone as a slide-and-stack take on the format, with no account required to play. Here's how it compares to the block puzzle apps people already have on their phones.

RowShift — free
Block Blast! — Free, ads. Best at: the classic 8x8 grid where you clear rows and columns at once. View on the App Store
Woodoku - Wood Block Puzzles — Free, ads. Best at: combining a block puzzle grid with sudoku-style regions. View on the App Store
Wood Block Puzzle Games — Free, ads. Best at: a classic wood-block-on-a-grid puzzle for short daily sessions. View on the App Store
BlockPuz - Color Block Puzzle! — Free, ads. Best at: jigsaw-style block shapes rather than the standard grid pieces. View on the App Store

If you want the familiar grid-clearing block puzzle with a huge back catalogue of boards, one of the free apps above already has it. RowShift's slide-and-stack mechanic is a different way to play the same family of puzzle — check back here once it's live on the App Store.
