How to Solve Game Is Hard Level 279 — Full Solution
- Read `every corner touches a ball.` and notice that the triangle, square, and pentagon would need twelve corner touches if they stayed separate.
- Drag the triangle onto the top edge of the square.
- Line it up so the triangle's two bottom corners sit on the same two balls as the square's two top corners.
- Place the pentagon beside that stacked pair and use the remaining balls on every uncovered corner.
- Stop once all free corners have a ball and the shared-corner arrangement is accepted.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Trying to solve the shapes one by one without sharing contacts.
- Placing the triangle away from the square and wasting two balls.
Quick Tips for Game Is Hard Level 279 (spoiler-free)

Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Level 279 says `every corner touches a ball.` above a triangle, a square, a pentagon, and only eight available balls.
- Goal
- Use shared ball contacts so every corner of the three shapes touches a ball even though there are fewer balls than total corners.
- Opening
- Put the triangle on the top edge of the square first so their shared corners can reuse the same two balls.
- Danger Zone
- Keeping the shapes separate fails because triangle plus square plus pentagon would need twelve corner contacts, but the board only gives you eight balls.
- Mechanics
- Shared-corner stacking puzzle with limited ball contacts.
