Bloom
What is Bloom?
Bloom is a free daily flood-fill puzzle from Stoop Games. Each day, a new 14×14 colour grid is published, and all players get the same puzzle. Your territory starts in the top-left corner; by choosing colours, you expand it until the whole grid is filled.
How to play Bloom
Click one of the six colour buttons at the bottom of the grid, and your territory expands to absorb every touching cell of that colour. Keep picking colours until the entire board is one colour. The goal is to complete the grid in as few moves as possible; your score depends on how close you are to the optimal par solution.
Tips & strategy
- Look at which colour dominates the top-left region first; opening with that colour can often expand your territory efficiently.
- Think several moves ahead — each move changes your territory's boundary and creates new paths to larger areas.
- In Classic mode, settle on a colour order early instead of making reactive picks.
- In Virus mode, decide whether to absorb the fuchsia virus quickly or let it grow for a bigger grab later.
- In Token mode, keep track of limited colour uses and avoid letting a colour run out while it still appears on the board.
Frequently asked questions
Is Bloom free to play?
Yes, Bloom is listed as a free daily puzzle and can be played in your browser at bloom.stoop.games.
When does the daily puzzle update?
A new 14×14 colour grid is published every day at midnight, and it is the same for all players.
How is my score calculated?
Your score is based on how your move count compares to par, the optimal number of moves needed to solve the grid. Matching or beating par earns 10,000 points ('Perfect Bloom'), and each move over par lowers the score.
How many attempts do I get per day?
You get one attempt per day, so each move counts.
Are there different gameplay modes?
Yes. Classic spans levels 1–60, Seed (61–120) starts from seed positions instead of the corner, Virus (121–180) adds a spreading fuchsia colour, and Token (181–240) gives each colour limited uses.
