Tips & strategy

  • Head for the colour that borders the most of your region, not the one you have the most of overall.
  • Early on, grow outward in two directions; late game, mop up whole colours at once.
  • Fewer colours is easier to finish but the move budget is tighter โ€” the challenge scales both ways.
  • Your best is the fewest moves used, tracked separately for each board size and colour count.

Frequently asked questions

How is Flood It scored?

Your record is the fewest moves it took to flood the whole board, saved per board size and colour count โ€” so a 10ร—10 four-colour best is tracked apart from an 18ร—18 six-colour one.

Is every board solvable in the budget?

Yes. The move budget scales with the board size and colour count to stay comfortably winnable with good play.
