Tetris (pronounced) is a tile-matching puzzle video game, originally designed and programmed by Russian game designer Alexey Pajitnov.

It was released on June 6, 1984, while he was working for the Dorodnitsyn Computing Centre of the Academy of Science of the USSR in Moscow.

He derived its name from the Greek numerical prefix tetra- (all of the game's pieces contain four segments) and tennis, Pajitnov's favorite sport.

Puzzle video games are a genre of video games that emphasize puzzle solving.

The types of puzzles can test many problem-solving skills including logic, pattern recognition, sequence solving, and word completion.

The player may have unlimited time or attempts to solve a puzzle, or there may be simple puzzles made difficult by having to complete them in real-time, as in Tetris.

An online game is a video game that is either partially or primarily played through the Internet or another computer network.

Online games are ubiquitous on modern gaming platforms, including PCs, consoles and mobile devices, and span many genres, including first-person shooters, strategy games and massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPG).

A website is a collection of related web pages, including multimedia content, typically identified with a common domain name, and published on at least one web server.

A website may be accessible via a public Internet Protocol (IP) network, such as the Internet, or a private local area network (LAN), by referencing a uniform resource locator (URL) that identifies the site.

A patch is a piece of software designed to update a computer program or its supporting data, to fix or improve it.

This includes fixing security vulnerabilities and other bugs, with such patches usually called bugfixes or bug fixes, and improving the usability or performance.

Although meant to fix problems, poorly designed patches can sometimes introduce new problems (see software regressions).

In some special cases updates may knowingly break the functionality, for instance, by removing components for which the update provider is no longer licensed or disabling a device.
