kiki35355258d@Root nah, not pentRis. In tetris, tetR means tetramino. So, that R belongs to tetr. Hence pentis

Root79779257d@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.

ingosteinke158257dDoes anyone remember Blockout? The super elegant and abstract 3D tetris for DOS?
If Tetris figures consisted of five squares instead of four, it would've been called “Pentis”.
There are also Sextis, Septis and Octis.
