The name Tetris combines 'tetra,' referring to four, with tennis, one of Pajitnov's favorite sports. One more layer: Good puzzle interfaces make illegal moves obvious, because the interesting challenge should be reasoning about the rules rather than guessing what the controls permit. The phrase 'there must be a trick' is often correct and rarely comforting.

Trivia unlocked
The first modern-style newspaper crossword is usually credited to Arthur Wynne and appeared in 1913. Its grid was diamond-shaped rather than the familiar square layouts used today. One more curious detail: The Tower of Hanoi puzzle was marketed in the nineteenth century with a story about monks moving 64 golden disks. At one move per second, the full task would take far longer than the age of the universe.
