Hey there, fellow Rover! I just spent my morning diving into the brand new Overflowing Picture Book event in Wuthering Waves, and let me tell you, it's a real breath of fresh air. It's 2026, and Kuro Games is still killing it with these creative, brain-teasing events. The first day's stage, Stars and Moon, is live right now, and I'm here to walk you through every single puzzle. Think of me as your personal guide through this colorful maze. Don't worry, it's not rocket science, but having a clear path makes it a total cakewalk. So, let's grab our virtual paintbrushes and get to it!

Stars and Moon - Easy Mode Solution

First up is the Easy puzzle. This one is super straightforward and is basically the tutorial to get you warmed up. Here’s the step-by-step breakdown that worked like a charm for me:

1. Step 1: Select the green color from your palette. Your goal is to paint over all the red tiles on the board. Just click on them until they're all a nice, lush green.

2. Step 2: Now, switch your color to yellow. Find all the tiles you just painted green and turn them yellow. Easy peasy!

3. Step 3: Finally, pick blue. Paint over all the yellow tiles, and voilà! The puzzle is solved.

Rewards for Completing Easy Mode:

Completing this gives you a nice little starter pack. Who doesn't love free stuff?

• Astrite x 20 💎

• Shell Credit x 20,000 💰

• Premium Resonance Potion x 2 🧪

Stars and Moon - Normal Mode Solution

Alright, now things get a bit more interesting with the Normal difficulty. The board layout is trickier, but the logic is the same. Follow this sequence, and you'll nail it.

My Pro-Tip: Always look at the center of the puzzle first. It often holds the key!

Here’s the move order I used:

Step	Color to Choose	Tiles to Paint
1	Yellow	Paint the blue tiles in the center.
2	Red	Paint all the yellow tiles (including the ones you just made).
3	Green	Convert all the red tiles to green.
4	Blue	Finally, paint all the green tiles blue to complete the picture.

Rewards for Completing Normal Mode:

The rewards get better, as they should! You'll earn:

• Astrite x 30 (Sweet!)

• Shell Credit x 30,000 (Cha-ching!)

• Premium Resonance Potion x 2

Stars and Moon - Difficult Mode Solution

Time for the main event—the Difficult puzzle. This one requires a bit more foresight. You can't just paint willy-nilly; you need a solid plan. But hey, that's why I'm here! I messed up my first try, but this sequence is the golden ticket.

Crucial Reminder: Each move counts, so follow this to the letter!

1. Kick off with Green: Start by selecting green. Your target is all the red tiles on the board. Paint 'em green.

2. Bring in the Yellow: Switch to yellow. Now, find all those new green tiles and change them to yellow.

3. Go Red Again: This might seem counterintuitive, but trust the process. Switch to red and paint over all the yellow tiles.

4. Finish with Blue: For the grand finale, pick blue. Paint all the red tiles blue, and the puzzle will complete perfectly.

Rewards for Completing Difficult Mode:

The final puzzle has the best loot, perfect for powering up your team.

• Forgery Advanced Supply x 3 🔨

• Advanced Enclosure Tank x 6 🐟

• Shell Credit x 30,000

And that's a wrap for Day 1! Completing all three puzzles in Stars and Moon feels pretty satisfying, not gonna lie. The Overflowing Picture Book event is time-gated, meaning a new stage unlocks each day. So, this is just the beginning of a week-long puzzle adventure.

What's Next? A Sneak Peek!

Based on how this event is structured, we can expect six more days of unique Overflowing Palette challenges. If Day 1 is any indication, the puzzles will likely get more complex and rewarding. I'm personally hyped to see what themes and mechanics Kuro Games has in store for us. Will there be new patterns? Maybe special gimmicks? Only time will tell!

My Final Two Cents: This event is a fantastic way to earn some extra resources without the grind. The puzzles are engaging but not frustrating, and the reward-to-time-spent ratio is absolutely on point. Make sure to log in daily so you don't miss a single stage!

Good luck with the puzzles, and I'll catch you on the next stage, Rover! Remember, sometimes the solution is just a different shade of thinking. 😉
