What is the most useful opening checkpoint?

Blue 39 is already active in the first tray, with the other four trays empty; let it drain before filling the row.

Why track the 800-to-6 counter?

It shows the outer picture contracting, but the final face, hair, and dark fragments still have to clear after the counter drops sharply.

Drain the opening blue border around the orange-haired performer, then work through cyan, green, repeated magenta, and late face-and-hair fragments.

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

Start with blue 39 active and the other four trays open.
Follow cyan 3, pale 14, magenta 45/44, and blue 35 only as their matching pixels expose; repeated magenta is not automatically a fresh move.
Use the cyan 12 and green 14 transition to clear the side layers, then let blue 5, pale 3, cyan 12, and magenta 4 fall before committing to the yellow layer.
Watch the counter landmarks 312, 137, 96, 46, 17, and 6 as the purple shoulders and blue/green corners give way to the faces.
Work through the late white 22/21, yellow 29/18/7, green 19, pale 9, dark 21, and orange remnants around the hair and mouth.
Wait for the last small face, hair, orange, and dark pixels to disappear and leave the empty frame.

Colors in this level:

Blue, Cyan, Pale, Magenta, Green, Purple, Yellow, White, Dark, Orange, Brown

Loading a second large magenta or blue group while the current active remainder still occupies a tray.
Guessing a question-mark shoulder instead of waiting for its layer to expose.
Stopping at the recognizable two-person portrait before the counter reaches the final empty state.

Start with blue 39 in the first tray and keep the other four trays open while the opening border drains.
Use cyan and green transition groups before committing to another large magenta or blue nest.
Treat the counter landmarks as progress, not as permission to fill every slot; finish at the empty frame.

Board notes 5 details

Layout: The central square shows an orange-haired performer with red lips above a smaller tan-faced figure. Purple shoulder blocks carry question-mark texture, with green/cyan side details, blue lower corners, pale face pixels, and orange/yellow hair. Blue 39 is already active in the first tray and the other four trays are empty.
Goal: Clear the blue and cyan border, purple shoulders, and green/pale transition layers before finishing the performer hair, face, mouth, and smaller figure. The progress counter falls from 800 through 547, 312, 137, 96, 46, 17, and 6 before the empty frame.
Opening: Let blue 39 drain first. The visible queue begins cyan 3, pale 14, magenta 45/44, blue 35, and later blue 30, magenta 40, green 25, and cyan 11.
Danger Zone: Repeated magenta 44/45 groups and large blue groups can consume all five slots while cyan and green side pieces remain covered. The purple question-mark shoulders should not be solved by guessing.
Mechanics: This level has a counter-led outer-to-inner transition. Active checkpoints such as magenta 15, pale 34, teal 5, cyan 12, green 14, and later yellow or dark values are remainders in the exposed layers.
