Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A seven-count shutter covers the upper two-thirds of a rectangle. Purple, blue, green, yellow, and orange pieces fill the exposed floor; the reveal adds long multicolor bars around fixed blue/orange outlined grids.
- Goal
- Empty the floor pack, open the shutter, and clear the revealed long pieces through the narrow lanes surrounding both central grids.
- Opening
- Drop the exposed blue square through the blue floor gate, take the orange block through the orange floor gate, then peel away left purple/yellow groups.
- Danger Zone
- A pink or orange L left below the fixed grids blocks the only crossover and traps the upper red/cyan columns.
- Mechanics
- A seven-count reveal converts a compact lower puzzle into a tall board where two permanent outlined grids split all routes.
