Which large counter defines the late phase?

The 1000 base barrier can remain after the side frame opens, and it releases the brown 5 cleanup near the end.

What is the final cleanup?

The video ends the routing with brown 5, yellow 1 and small pink 9 stacks after the emoji is almost gone.

Break the crying emoji's 800/800/600/1000 barriers through a pink opener, yellow face transition, cyan tears, dark pupils and three lower locks.

If the player asks you to sign in, open the video on YouTube instead.

Launch pink 50, 25, 35 and 30, preserving the fifth hole.
Let the four pink streams cut the field until one returns, then route cyan 12 into the first exposed tear strip.
Add the next pink 30 wave and continue pink 50/40 while tracking the unequal 800/800/600/1000 counters.
Introduce yellow 50/25 as the face opens, then use red 16 on the first lower-lock release.
Route dark 29 through a pupil before starting cyan 45; keep those long detail routes in separate holes.
Clear cyan 15 and the next white eye stack as the 60 and twin 10 locks reach zero.
Alternate yellow 45/40 with pink 20/43 while the side 800 counters continue falling.
Feed the late white stacks through the eyes, then use dark cards on the remaining pupils and mouth outline.
Wait for the 1000 base barrier to open and clear its brown 5 release before chasing tiny face fragments.
Finish yellow 1 and pink 9, then wait for the last perimeter ants to empty the emoji frame.

Colors in this level:

Pink, Yellow, Cyan, White, Dark purple, Brown, Red

Filling all five holes with pink stacks blocks the first cyan or dark release from the lower locks.
Stopping when the face opens leaves the 1000 base counter and final brown blocks unfinished.

Board notes 5 details

Layout: A yellow crying emoji with white eyes, dark pupils and cyan tears fills a pink field. Brown counters read 800 above, 800 left, 600 right and 1000 below; a brown 60 and two red 10 locks guard the base. Five holes face pink 50/25/35/30.
Goal: Clear the pink field, reduce all four large counters and three lower locks, then remove the yellow face, white eyes, cyan tears, dark pupils and last brown blocks.
Opening: Tap pink 50, 25, 35 and 30 into four holes, leaving the fifth buffer empty until one pink stream returns.
Danger Zone: The four counters fall at different rates. Occupying the fifth hole during the opening pink carry can strand cyan, yellow or dark cards released by the lower locks.
Mechanics: A Hard Level endurance emoji combines 800/800/600/1000 barriers, three lower locks and a long pink-to-yellow transition.
