X is a game designed by Alexey Pajitnov, a computer engineer while he was working for the Dorodnicyn Computing Centre of the Academy of Science of the USSR in Moscow. In the game, the user plays with 7 ____: I, J, L, O, S, T and Z. X was in the news in 2009 as a possible prevention technique for Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) where an Oxford University research group reported that playing X soon after viewing traumatic material reduced the number of flashbacks to those scenes in the following week. They believe that X may disrupt the memories that are retained of the sights and sounds witnessed at the time, and which are later re-experienced through involuntary, distressing flashbacks of that moment. But playing too much of X can also cause a repetitive stress symptom in that the brain will involuntarily picture X even when the player is not playing the game. This is known as the X effect.
What's X? Bonus points for indentifying the blanked out word.

Tetris.. I think a similar question was asked before.
Tetris , Blank word- Alphabets/letters
X is Tetris and the blank is tetrominoes. Unfortunately, I asked this question a few months ago ).
X is tetris. The seven letters resemble the seven shapes used in the game, not sure what they are called.b
The answer is Tetris and the blanked out word is tetrominoes. And Anshul did ask this question some time back, which I totally forgot, so apologies for that :).
