Every drop tips the balance.

What is WHIRLIE? ↓

A free daily pivot puzzle

WHIRLIE is a free daily puzzle game you play right in your browser — no download, no install, no account. You stack tetromino-style blocks onto a structure that is fixed to a central pivot. After every drop, the whole structure swings 90° toward its heavier side, so success is about balance and planning rather than speed. Everyone gets the same seeded puzzle each day, so you can compare and share your result.

How to play

  1. Move the falling piece left or right into position.
  2. Rotate it to fit the space you're aiming for.
  3. Drop it onto the structure attached to the pivot.
  4. Watch the swing — the structure tips 90° toward the heavier side, so plan your next piece around the new orientation.

Keyboard: ← → move · Z / X rotate · Space drop · H hint · R restart. On touch devices, use the on-screen pad.

Game modes

  • Today — a short seeded daily puzzle: fill the day's silhouette exactly.
  • Endless — clear complete square rings around the anchor and survive as long as you can.
  • Zen (Labs) — relaxed practice; drop pieces whenever you're ready.
  • Gravity (Labs) — experiment with pieces that auto-fall.

Frequently asked questions

Is WHIRLIE free?

Yes — WHIRLIE is completely free and runs in any modern browser on desktop or mobile. No download or account required.

How is it different from Tetris?

WHIRLIE uses tetromino-shaped pieces, but there's no falling grid. Pieces attach to a structure anchored on a central pivot, and the whole thing rotates 90° after every drop based on where the weight sits — turning it into a balance-and-planning puzzle instead of a speed game.

Is there a new puzzle every day?

Yes. Today mode gives a fresh, seeded puzzle each day that's identical for every player, so you can compare and share results. Endless can be played any time.

Do I need an app?

No. WHIRLIE is a web game — just open whirlie.xyz and play. You can also add it to your home screen.
