Chess and Tetris are two of my favorite games. I've known about Lichess for quite a while and recently discovered jstris, which is a sort-of similar site for Tetris:

https://jstris.jezevec10.com/

It's not quite as polished as Lichess and if you've never played Tetris with a keyboard before that may be a significant learning hurdle (though it's actually a very good control scheme for the game). But overall it's a really cool site. (There's also Tetris Friends, but I just always found the general style of the site very offputting.)

Wait, whaat?

Are there pointy-clicky interfaces to tetris nowadays? Well, of course there must be.. I think I last played tetris as the original version made by that Russian guy (or was it so long ago that it was a Soviet guy?) running on DOS.

I think they meant using a controller, probably from playing a console version ( Game Boy / NES )
