kiki372311y@Root nah, not pentRis. In tetris, tetR means tetramino. So, that R belongs to tetr. Hence pentis

Root796411y@kiki I get that, and you’re right. but that way, the pattern sounds so removed from “Tetris” that it’s hard to make the connection. 🤷🏻♀️ Oh well.
If Tetris figures consisted of five squares instead of four, it would've been called “Pentis”.
There are also Sextis, Septis and Octis.
