Ready to take word games to the next level? Libretto combines wordplay and strategy into a deceptively simple board game that takes only minutes to learn but years to master. There are no points in Libretto. Your goal is to build a path of connected words from one side of the board to the other, while strategically blocking your opponent from doing the same. It's something like playing chess with words, which is why it has become a new favorite among some of the world's top tournament word-game masters. Learn the game quickly using Libretto's built-in tutorial, then test your ability against the computer. When you're ready, challenge your friends or let the game pair you with opponents from around the world.

About

Colors Puzzle

Features
Read full description

Count the number of specific colors in the grid that is randomly provided and answer it correctly depending on what game type you are playing! In each game type, there are 2 main modes, the first one being endless and the second one being the timer mode. In endless mode, the player can play endlessly if they can keep up with the game intensity, but in the timer mode, the player will have a limited time to score as many points as possible. As the level goes higher the grid will be randomly divided to contain more colors. This will make it harder and more challenging to play. To make it more engaging and challenging the game also rewards the players for their quickness to answer the question in the form of ‘combo scoring’.
