What is Color Block Crush?
The simplest puzzle on the site and one of the hardest to put down: a wall of coloured blocks, and every tap pops a connected group of the same colour. Gravity pulls the rest down, empty columns close up, and the board slowly rearranges itself under your fingers. Two blocks score nothing; ten score 640; a group of twenty scores 3,240 — so the whole game is about herding one colour into a giant group before you pop it.
The daily board is identical for everyone, so scores can be compared like a crossword time, and finishing it keeps your streak. Random boards come in 4, 5 or 6 colours — four is a gentle puzzle for young children, six is a planning exercise — with your best score for each kept on this device. Undo any pop; Biggest group shows you the richest tap on the board.

Why big groups matter
Because the score is squared, one pop of twenty blocks (3,240) is worth more than ten pops of six (1,600). The winning habit is patience: pop the small groups of the colours you do not care about, let gravity and the sliding columns push your chosen colour together, and only then take the giant group. Keep one colour “in reserve” near the bottom where everything above it will fall into place.
4, 5 or 6 colours
Four colours make big groups easy and suit young children; five is the daily standard; six demands real planning because groups form slowly and stranded single blocks are common. Your best score is kept separately for each.

Tips

- Keep an eye on single stranded blocks near the end — they cost you the clear bonus.
Color Block Crush FAQ
How is the score counted?
Each pop scores (number of blocks − 2) squared, times 10. A group of 2 scores 0, 5 scores 90, 10 scores 640 and 20 scores 3,240. Clearing the board adds 1,000; finishing with five or fewer blocks left adds 200.
When does the round end?
When no two touching blocks share a colour. The board then shows your final score; the daily board is the same for everyone that day, so compare scores with friends.
