Puzzle Inlay is similar to the traditional Chinese dissection puzzle Tangram.
Tips to get a high score
- The larger pieces are worth more points per unit area. If possible, leave the simpler pieces (yellow triangle and square) in the queue when you finish the level.

Area is measured in units of half a square.
- Use the Hammer to knock out the squares, since it's better to hammer out a square and put two yellow triangles into the puzzle, than to hammer out a yellow triangle, put a square in the puzzle, and have a yellow triangle still taking up space in the queue.
- If you're running out of time, don't be afraid to use the magic wand. It's faster than clicking back and forth between the queue and the puzzle, and you still get 1 pt per yellow triangle.
- On the last level (10 Razor), if you have any plays left, leave a small triangle open and replay the level to use up your lives and maximize your points.
- Levels are replayable - if you have extra lives left, you can purposely not finish the last (or any) level, reply it and get more points.
