Must play it more later.

I wonder what the best possible score is.

Of course every new game is a new arrangement, so maybe there is no such thing as "one" perfect score.

Thanks for posting it!

...which colors will, once selected, expose the greatest number of "new" colors to take out.

In other words, if there's only one or two green adjacent to the color in play, I'm not going to hit green.

And, if there are a lot of blues and a lot of yellows adjacent to the play area, but the yellows have bigger blocks or will expose more new tiles, I'll go for yellow.

Finally, toward the end, some colors need to wait and others are good to go; if a bunch of greens are ready to go except for one in a corner surrounded by others, maybe wait until all the remaining tiles are in play.

Did it twice, but I blame luck for these.

I can't get it any lower than that. It is hard.

By clicking on the buttons, the player changes the color of the case 1 (top left) and adjacent squares of the same color.
The goal is to flood the grid with a single color in a few shots.

I've gotten 19 many times now, but I can't seem to break that barrier.

I must confess, that I play it about 20 times in a row, before heading off to do something else, every time I get back to my home computer.

One thing I do to increase my odds of winning is to choose a puzzle that has a lot of large chunky areas of one color or another. This will help enormously.

I also look for a double block in the lower right hand corner, since that's where I normally end up, and those single blocks can kill ya!

It's really fun.

Now I will waste countless hours on this thing trying to get the lowest score I can.

You have just killed my productivity. Hope your are proud of yourself!

both failed differently. In chrome all I see is the 6 dots in the upper left but no game board as shown in the screen caps above. In IE I see one of the color dots and a 2 color game board but I can't tell if anything is happening.
