Why doesn't Brain Test 5 Level 57 finish after I feed the first lizards?

Later screens add more lizards around the page border. You have to keep matching the new foods, including the worm, crab, rock, and extra fruit, until the whole edge roster is fed.

What is the best way to start Level 57?

Start with the most obvious center foods, especially the berry, leaf, and bugs, then work outward as new lizards appear.

Brain Test 5 Level 57 is a feeding-match puzzle. Start with the center berry, leaf, and bugs, then keep matching the later screens' worm, crab, rock, and extra fruit until every lizard around the page border has been fed.

Board Notes

Layout: Level 57 places colored lizards around the notebook-page border and keeps the food items loose in the center. The first screens use a smaller set of edge lizards with a berry, leaf, and bugs, while the later screens add more edge lizards plus a worm-like `S`, a rock, a crab, and extra fruit.
Goal: Feed every lizard around the page edge so no center food pieces are left unused.
Opening: The fastest way in is to clear the obvious center foods first, especially the berry, the leaf, and the small crawling bugs. Later pages add extra lizards, so the new worm, crab, rock, and extra fruit matter too.
Danger Zone: Feeding only the original edge lizards is not enough once the page expands. The later purple, yellow, and lower-right lizards leave the level unfinished unless their new food pieces are matched too.
Mechanics: Level 57 repeats one feeding mechanic across several larger versions of the same screen. The center food pile grows as the edge roster of lizards grows.

Quick Tips for Brain Test 5 Level 57 (spoiler-free)

Clear the obvious center foods first before the page adds more lizards.
Whenever a new lizard appears on the border, look for the new food item that arrived with it.
Do not leave the worm, crab, or rock sitting in the middle on the later screens.

How to Solve Brain Test 5 Level 57 — Full Solution

On the early screen, start distributing the obvious center foods such as the berry, the leaf, and the bugs.
Finish feeding the first set of edge lizards before the next screen adds more around the border.
When the purple and yellow lizards appear, include the new worm-like `S` and rock in the remaining feed set.
On the later screen, use the added crab and extra fruit so the lower-right side of the page is covered too.
Keep matching until no center food is left unassigned and every lizard around the edge has been fed.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Solving only the first red, green, and blue lizards and forgetting the later edge additions.
Leaving the new center items untouched when the board expands.
