Board notes 5 details
- Layout

Above the chain are `SCARAB / ANKH / SPHINX`, microbes `FUNGUS / BACTERIA / PARASITE / VIRUS`, business words `STARTUP / VENTURE / HOLDING / FRANCHISE`, moon phases `GIBBOUS / CRESCENT`, and matter `LIQUID / PLASMA`; `JETTY / QUAY / PIER / BREAKWATER` waits below.
- Goal
- Clear Egypt and harbor anchors to open the chain before octopus pressure mixes gases, metals, big cats, and archaeology in the lower pocket.

- Mechanics
- This is a chain-gated purple-octopus board with locked `+5 MOVES` bubbles and a divided opening that collapses into a compressed four-family endgame.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I open the chain in Bubble Word Jam Level 260?
Clear the Egyptian family above it and the harbor family `JETTY / QUAY / PIER / BREAKWATER` below it. Those early clears reduce the numbered lock and reunite the board.
What causes the final jam in Level 260?
Metals, big cats, and archaeology all become active under purple-octopus pressure. They need separate lanes after the gas family is gone.
