When a group of seven blocks are together, they are cleared. This grouping is called a sector.

Sectors farther away from the center of the board are worth more points. Combinations of sectors can be cleared at the same time when sectors overlap. The normal number of normal points for clearing a sector is multiplied by the number of overlapping sectors. Therefore it is a wise strategy to try to clear multiple sectors at the same time, instead of just one sector at a time.
