Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Level 168 says `merge the balls.` above a packed 5x5 grid. The top row is filled with pink, green, cyan, lime, and orange balls, while duplicate blue, pink, orange, green, brown, and red balls crowd the lower rows and the first highlighted merge sits near the upper-right center.
- Goal
- Merge every matching color pair until the grid is empty.
- Opening
- Use the highlighted upper-right merge first, then fold the brown pair together in the lower middle so the center lanes open.
- Danger Zone
- Ignoring those central merges leaves the outer row jammed and makes the later orange, cyan, and red pairs much harder to connect.
- Mechanics
- Crowded 5x5 color-pair merge puzzle.

How do I solve Game Is Hard Level 168?
Open the center first with the early upper-right merge and the brown pair, then use the extra room to connect the remaining edge colors one by one.
Why does Level 168 feel stuck near the end?
Because the middle stayed crowded too long. If the center is open early, the last orange, cyan, and red pairs can still reach each other.
