Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A wide 21-panel covers the top, with a 7-panel at middle-left and tall 14-panel on the right. The exposed lower-left cluster has yellow, purple, green, and blue pieces around two yellow-outlined cells; exits ring the top, left, bottom, and right edges.
- Goal
- Remove the 7- and 14-panels, clear their released groups to open the 21-panel, and then route the final red, purple, pink, cyan, blue, and yellow pieces before time runs out.
- Opening
- Take the small purple/yellow pieces, send the green vertical down, and remove blue vertical blocks right while preserving the center and outlined cells.
- Danger Zone
- A blue or red vertical left in the narrow right lane blocks that counter and the later cyan square; the final purple hook also jams if a framed red piece still occupies the upper-left turn.
- Mechanics
- Three panels marked 7, 14, and 21 open in sequence and reveal a final field of hooked, framed, square, and long-bar pieces.
