The Spectrum Strategy: Color Flood Architect! 🌈🧠

Prepare for a brilliantly challenging, mind-bending experience that will push your logical thinking and predictive skills to the limit! Welcome to Color Flood Architect, a deceptively simple puzzle where your only goal is total saturation: Fill the Whole Board by Matching Equal Colors. This is a battle against complexity, where every move you make dictates the future state of the entire grid.

The Mechanism of Mastery: Flooding the Grid

The game begins with a multi-colored grid, usually featuring a small starting tile in one corner. Your objective is to strategically "flood" the board with a single color until all tiles are unified.

1. The Starting Point: Your control begins at a single, designated starting tile.
2. The Color Change: Below the grid is a color palette. Tapping a color instantly changes the starting tile and all contiguous (touching) tiles of the same color to the newly selected shade. This area, your constantly expanding empire, is called the Flood Zone.
3. The Expansion: The goal is to choose a new color that is adjacent to your current Flood Zone. By selecting that adjacent color, you merge the existing Flood Zone with all of the new tiles of that color, growing your territory.

The challenge lies in the Limited Move Counter. Every level gives you a small, finite number of moves (color changes) to achieve 100% board coverage. This transforms the game from a simple coloring exercise into a deep, unforgiving Resource Management Puzzle.

Logical Precision: The Predictive Strategy

To succeed in Color Flood Architect, you must abandon impulse and embrace Pure Logical Thinking.

• Lookahead Analysis: You cannot afford a single wasted move. Before every tap, you must mentally or physically trace the path of your current Flood Zone and identify which color will result in the greatest overall Area Expansion. A successful move may only add a few tiles now, but it must strategically position your Flood Zone to absorb a massive cluster on the next move.
• The Bottleneck Trap: Levels are intentionally designed with Bottlenecks—small, single-color pathways that are essential for accessing the rest of the board. Using a move to clear a large, non-critical cluster is a mistake if it leaves you unable to reach a distant, required Bottleneck tile on your next move. Prioritize access over size.
• Optimal Sequencing: The key is to find the Optimal Sequence of color changes that minimizes your move count. This requires Deductive Reasoning to eliminate inefficient paths and map out the shortest route to full coverage. The highest-level puzzles often feature grids that appear solvable in many ways, but only one correct sequence falls within the move limit.

High-Score Pursuit: The Efficiency Rating 💯

In Color Flood Architect, your score is a direct reflection of your Efficiency Rating. Completing the level with the maximum number of moves remaining grants you the coveted Master Architect Rank and the highest points.

As the levels progress, the grids increase in size (from $10 \times 10$ to $18 \times 18$), the color palette expands (from 4 colors to 7 colors), and the move limit becomes tighter. Only through meticulous planning and unwavering dedication to geometric logic can you conquer the entire spectrum and achieve total board saturation.

Can you outsmart the grid and prove your mastery of the Color Flood sequence? Dive in and let the logical battle begin!
