About Filler
Filler is a free two-player territory game. You and your opponent start in opposite corners of a colored grid. Pick a new color each turn to flood-claim every connected tile that matches — grow your patch until the board is full. Play free vs a friend or the computer.
How to play Filler
- You start in the top-left corner, your opponent in the bottom-right, each on their own color.
- On your turn, pick one of the four offered colors — you can't repeat your own color or your opponent's.
- Every tile of that color connected to your territory joins it, including chains of matching tiles.
- Turns alternate until the board is full.
- The player controlling the most tiles wins.
Tips & strategy
- Look for a 'staircase' of same-colored tiles leading away from your corner — one pick can claim a long chain.
- Sometimes the best move blocks your opponent's best chain more than it grows your own.
- Watch your opponent's current color — you can't pick it, so plan around what's left.
- Early game favors big chain grabs; late game favors denying your opponent's only good color.
