Tetris™ originated from the idea of the programmer Alexey Pajitnov. The latter developed an electronic game in which players could arrange puzzle pieces in real time as they fell from above onto the playing field. The resulting design was a game with seven characteristic geometric tiles, each consisting of four squares. Pajitnov named this game "Tetris", a combination of "tetra" (the Greek word for "four") and "tennis" (his favorite sport).
