About Flood It — Colour Flood Puzzle Game Online Free

Flood It is a deceptively simple colour puzzle. The board is a grid of coloured tiles, and your territory starts as just the single tile in the top-left corner. Each turn you choose a colour, and your whole territory changes to it — instantly swallowing every touching tile that already had that colour. Your patch grows, move by move, like spilled paint spreading across the grid.

The goal is to flood the entire board into one single colour — but you only get a limited number of moves to do it. That tight budget turns a relaxing tap-game into a real planning puzzle: grabbing the colour that swallows the most tiles right now isn't always the smartest play, because the best lines set up bigger gains a move or two ahead. Every board is generated to be winnable within the limit, so a clever sequence always exists.

It runs instantly in your browser on phone, tablet or desktop — no download, no sign-up, completely free. Just tap a colour from the palette under the board; big swatches make it effortless on mobile. Your progress is saved automatically and a fresh board is one tap away. Quick to pick up and moreish to optimise, Flood It is the perfect puzzle for a coffee break or a quiet evening.

Tips & strategy

  • Don't always grab the colour that adds the most tiles this turn. The greedy move is a fine default, but look one step further for a colour that opens a much bigger area next.
  • Think about reaching the far corners. The board is only flooded when the hardest-to-reach tiles are absorbed, so plan a route toward them rather than fattening the middle.
  • Watch for large single-colour clumps near your edge — lining up the move that connects to a big block can swallow a huge area at once.
  • Avoid 'wasting' a move on a colour that only adds a tile or two unless it unlocks a much larger gain immediately after.
  • Count your remaining moves against how much board is left. If you're behind pace, look for a two-move combo that merges two big regions.
  • The endgame is about mopping up stray colours. Save a flexible colour for last so a lone leftover tile doesn't cost you an extra move.
  • If a board feels tight, restart it — every board is winnable within the limit, but some lines are far more forgiving than others.

Frequently asked questions

How do I play Flood It?

Your area starts at the top-left tile. Tap a colour from the palette and your whole area becomes that colour, absorbing all connected tiles of it. Keep choosing colours to grow your area until the entire board is a single colour — within the move limit.

How many moves do I get?

You have 25 moves on the 14×14, six-colour board. The move counter in the corner shows how many you've used. Fill the board before you run out to win.

Can every board be solved in time?

Yes. Each board is checked when generated to make sure it can be completed within the 25-move limit, so a winning sequence always exists — the challenge is finding an efficient one.

Why didn't tapping a colour do anything?

Tapping the colour your area already is does nothing — it wouldn't absorb any new tiles, so it isn't counted as a move. Pick a different colour to expand.

Does my game save?

Yes — the board and your move count are stored in your browser after each move, so you can close the tab and continue on the same device. The Start button reads 'Continue' when a saved board exists.

Is Flood It free and mobile-friendly?

Completely free, with no install or sign-up, and built mobile-first: large colour swatches under the board and a grid that scales to any screen.
