The star marks your starting region in the top-left corner. Pick a colour using the lettered buttons, or tap a square. Your connected region changes to that colour and absorbs matching neighbours along its edges. Diagonal contact does not count.
Cover the entire grid before the move budget runs out. Each board’s budget is calculated from a complete, playable route with two extra moves, so a solution always fits. It is a target to beat, not a claim of the shortest possible solution.
Plan two colours ahead
A large nearby patch is tempting, but a smaller patch can connect distant regions. Look for a colour that opens access to several areas you can collect on your next move. The outline shows which squares you already own.
Board links preserve the size and layout, so friends can compare routes fairly. The emoji result shows your colour sequence. Saved progress stays in this browser; this game is separate from the daily leaderboard.
