# Checking a solver result before playing it

Prepared by the operator of blockblast.co, an unofficial fan site independent of Hungry Studio.

A placement suggestion depends on the exact board and the pieces supplied. Treat the result as a route to check rather than a prediction about the next tray.

## Before entering the position

Count eight rows and eight columns. Record filled and empty cells in a consistent direction. Copy each displayed piece with its original orientation. If one piece was already used, enter only the remaining pieces rather than recreating the original tray.

## After screenshot recognition

Inspect every detected cell and each piece. A decorative highlight can look occupied; a cropped tray can omit part of a shape. A screenshot format the tool has not validated should be entered manually. Correcting the input matters more than repeating the same solve request.

## Replay one step at a time

For each suggested placement, check that all piece cells fit inside the board and avoid occupied cells. Add the piece, then remove any full rows and columns before checking the next step. Do not compare the second suggestion against the original board: it assumes the first placement and its clears already happened.

## Keep the limits clear

The [independent Block Blast placement helper](https://blockblast.co/solver) suggests placements for the current pieces. It does not predict future trays or reproduce the original app scoring. The browser puzzle on the same site has separate rules from Hungry Studio's app. If the input differs from the game on screen, re-enter the position before using a suggested route.

A useful troubleshooting report includes the starting board, shapes, expected placement, actual placement, and the first step where the states diverge. That is more actionable than a high score alone.

## Summary
The placement helper provides suggested moves based on the current board and pieces rather than predicting future game states. Users should manually verify each step and ensure input accuracy to maintain consistency between the tool and the game.

## Themes
- Block Blast solver usage
- Manual input verification
- Step by step validation
- Troubleshooting solver errors

## Key takeaways
- Users must manually verify that every piece cell fits within the board and avoids occupied cells before placement.
- The solver does not predict future trays or replicate the scoring logic of the original Hungry Studio application.
- Effective troubleshooting requires reporting the specific step where the solver state diverges from the actual game state.
- Users should only input remaining pieces if a piece from the original tray has already been used.

## Insights
- The solver operates on a stateful sequence where each subsequent suggestion assumes the successful execution of all previous moves.
- Input accuracy is prioritized over repeated solve requests, as errors in board or piece representation invalidate the entire suggested route.
- The solver is a tool for current board state analysis rather than a predictive engine for future game trays.

## Open questions / gaps
- What specific criteria define a screenshot format that the tool has not validated?
