What should I clear first in Bus Rush Fever! Level 169?

Start with the free singles around the outside, then trim the dark blockers in the middle. That preserves the purple anchor for the moment it actually matters.

Why is the purple piece in Bus Rush Fever! Level 169 better saved for later?

Because it is the most useful long piece on the board. If it moves too early, it becomes bad parking and the last blockers lose their clean landing side.

Bus Rush Fever! Level 169 Walkthrough

hard 7 colors

Bus Rush Fever! Level 169 is an open scatter anchored by one long purple piece and several dark blockers in the middle. Thin the blockers first, then spend the purple anchor after it no longer has to serve as awkward parking.

Board Notes

Layout: Level 169 opens as a wide field of singles with dark blockers mixed through the center and a large purple anchor sitting low on the board. The floor is open, but the anchor is the piece that keeps it useful.
Goal: The real target is the space around the dark blockers. They need to be thinned without spending the purple anchor first, because that long piece stabilizes the board after the clutter is gone.
Opening: The video spends the free outer singles first, then lifts the dark blockers one by one while keeping the purple anchor parked below them.
Danger Zone: The trap is sending the purple anchor before the blocker cluster has lost height, because the anchor becomes awkward parking and the last blockers have nowhere stable to go.
Mechanics: Level 169 is an open board anchored by one important long piece. The puzzle is protecting the anchor until the clutter around it is smaller.
