Tide Palette Frogame Original
About Tide Palette
Tide Palette is an independently built Frogame color-flood puzzle with twelve deterministic 6 by 6 boards. Your connected tide begins at the top-left tile and is outlined in white.
Change its color to absorb adjacent tiles of the new color. Each island has a move budget based on a verified solution, with two extra moves. Numbers distinguish the five colors as well as their appearance.
How to Play
Choose one of the five numbered colors. Your top-left connected region changes to that color.
Touching tiles of the same color join the region. Diagonal corners do not connect.
Fill all 36 tiles within the move budget. Clear an island to unlock Next.
Tide Palette Tips & Tricks
- Look for large nearby groups that a color change can absorb.
- Hint suggests the color with the largest immediate connected region; it does not promise the shortest overall route.
- Undo restores both the previous board and its move. Finishing on your final move still counts as a win.
