Welcome to Flipoku, a fun tile-flipping logic puzzle game where every move matters! Your goal is to flip tiles until the number of blue tiles in every row and column matches the target numbers shown around the puzzle board.
Flipoku is easy to learn but becomes increasingly challenging as you progress through different puzzle sizes and levels.
How to Play Flipoku in 3 Easy Steps
Step 1: Understand the Puzzle Board
Each Flipoku puzzle contains a grid of tiles. Tiles can be either blue or white.
Numbers beside the rows and columns show how many blue tiles each row or column must contain when the puzzle is solved.
For example, a row with a target of 2 must contain exactly two blue tiles.
Step 2: Tap a Tile to Flip It
When you tap a tile, it changes color. Its immediate neighboring tiles also change color:
- The selected tile itself.
- The tile directly above it, if one exists.
- The tile directly below it, if one exists.
- The tile immediately to its left, if one exists.
- The tile immediately to its right, if one exists.
A blue tile becomes white, and a white tile becomes blue. Diagonal tiles are not affected.
Remember: Tapping a corner or edge tile affects fewer tiles because some neighbors are outside the board.
Step 3: Match Every Row and Column Target
Keep flipping tiles until the blue tile counts match every row and column target simultaneously.
You complete the puzzle when all targets are satisfied.
Example: Solving a 3 × 3 Flipoku Puzzle
Imagine a 3 × 3 board where all nine tiles are initially white.
The row targets are 1, 3, 1, and the column targets are also 1, 3, 1.
Tap the center tile once. The center tile and its four neighboring tiles become blue, creating a plus-shaped pattern.
The first row now contains one blue tile, the second row contains three, and the third row contains one. The columns have the same counts.
All targets match, so the puzzle is solved!

Tips to Solve Flipoku Puzzles Faster
- Study the targets first: Look at the required blue tile counts before making a move.
- Watch neighboring tiles: Every tap can change several rows and columns at once.
- Start with simpler patterns: Rows or columns requiring zero or all blue tiles can help you understand the desired final board.
- Think before tapping: Repeatedly tapping the same tile can undo your previous move.
- Use hints when needed: Hints can help you continue when you’re stuck.
- Practice regularly: Smaller puzzles are a useful way to learn patterns before moving to larger boards.
