Color Flooding Puzzle
Boys Editorial difficulty: Medium Editor's rating: 3.8/5A clean, focused implementation of the flood-fill format; later levels genuinely require forward planning rather than trial-and-error color mashing.
About This Game
Color Flooding Puzzle is an interesting puzzle game for free. The game has a number of different levels for you to challenge. In the game, your goal is to dye a variety of different colors into the same color, and each level will have a limit on the number of dyeing times. The game is simple to operate and the interface is simple, but it's fun! Come and challenge it.
Color Flooding Puzzle is a browser take on the classic flood-fill puzzle: a board divided into connected colored regions, and a limited number of moves to repaint the entire board into a single uniform color. Each move recolors the connected region touching your current selection, which then merges with any adjacent regions of the same new color — meaning every move you make changes the shape of the board's regions, not just their color, which is the part that trips players up on later levels.
How to Play
Observe the color-flood puzzle board with distinct regions.Tap a region to select it and choose a new color.The selected color floods connected areas of the same color.Complete the objective of filling all regions with target colors.Plan your color choices carefully to solve each level efficiently.Master color-flooding puzzles with increasing complexity.
Tap a region on the board, then choose a new color for it from the available palette. That region — and any adjacent regions already matching the chosen color — merges into one larger connected area of that color. Repeat, recoloring and merging regions, until the entire board is a single uniform color within the level's move limit.
Controls: Tap or click a region, then tap or click a color swatch to apply it — two taps per move.

Always flood toward the color that borders the most separate regions, not simply the color that currently covers the most area — a move's value is measured by how many distinct regions it merges into your growing area, not by raw square coverage. Work from a corner or edge outward rather than trying to expand evenly in every direction; a directional approach tends to consume fewer total moves than growing a blob-shaped area from the center. Count your remaining moves against the number of visibly distinct color regions left on the board before committing — if you have fewer moves than remaining distinct regions, you need at least one move that merges two or more regions simultaneously, not just one.
What Makes It Different
This is the only puzzle on the site built entirely around region-merging rather than item-matching or route-finding, which makes it closer in spirit to a graph-coloring problem than to any other title in the collection.
Scoring & Winning
Levels have a hard move limit — running out of moves before the board is a single color fails the level, so efficiency (merging as many regions as possible per move) matters more than any score value.
How It Compares
Connect Dots Puzzle Game shares a similar 'limited moves, plan the whole sequence ahead' structure but through line-drawing between points rather than region flooding — a good comparison if you like the planning-under-constraint feel but want a different visual puzzle.
FAQ
What happens when I pick a color?
The region you selected repaints to that color and merges with any directly adjacent regions already matching it, forming one larger connected area.
Is there a move limit?
Yes — each level gives you a fixed number of color changes, and running out before the whole board is one color fails the attempt.
