What should clear before the main boot?

The gray-purple striped spur and lower trim need enough space to drain before the large brown leather batches become efficient.

How should the question-mark nests be handled?

Ignore them until they reach the front row and reveal their real color and count.

hard 12 colors

Open the gray-purple spur beneath a brown cowboy boot, alternate leather and outline batches, then clear its white-magenta band and orange heel.

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

Start teal 2, orange 1, cyan 1, charcoal 14, and brown 31 to open the lower trim and exposed boot outline.
Cycle brown 39, gray 27, charcoal 20, then brown 39, gray 5, and brown 38 rather than committing every large leather nest.
Use brown 35, red 20, teal 3, brown 35, then brown 32, red 20, charcoal 17, brown 33, and lavender 13 as the spur opens.
Continue with brown 25, red 19, gray 20, brown 27, charcoal 14; then brown 14, red 18, white 8, brown 15, and brown 40.
Across the split boot and spur, use brown 5, red 18, white 5, brown 4, brown 28, followed later by charcoal 17, red 17, white 2, and brown 9.
Save the band colors for purple 17, teal 9, yellow 1, teal 2, then purple 8, teal 5, gray 7, brown 13, and teal 2.
Finish through purple 6, brown 29, white 14, lavender 6, red 11, then the last brown 40, orange 7, charcoal 3, lavender 2, and red 2 heel fragments.

Colors in this level:

Brown, Orange, Charcoal, White, Magenta, Red, Gray, Lavender, Purple, Teal, Cyan, Yellow

Selecting multiple large brown nests before the striped spur drains denies slots to gray, lavender, teal, and white.
Assigning colors or counts to the locked question-mark nests invents evidence not visible in the video.

Board notes 5 details

Layout: A large brown cowboy boot has an orange edge, charcoal outline, white-magenta band, and a gray-purple striped spur assembly beneath it; a 500 counter sits on the leather.
Goal: Open the lower spur colors, strip the broad brown panels, then clear the band, heel, and final outline pixels to an empty frame.
Opening: The opening reaches teal 2, orange 1, cyan 1, charcoal 14, and brown 31 before brown 39, gray 27, charcoal 20, and more brown batches enter.
Danger Zone: Large brown 40 and 49 nests are visible while gray, lavender, teal, and white still control the striped lower section. Taking the leather batches too early fills the slots.
Mechanics: Several queue nests remain locked as question marks until preceding rows advance, so only revealed front-row colors and counts can guide the route.
