Jewel Coloring level guide
Jewel Coloring Level 97 Walkthrough
Jewel Coloring Level 97 shows lime-green scissors with two round finger loops, white handle holes, gray blade rails, a pale pink lower blade, and a black cutting tip. Open the two loop holes and the blade channel first, then wrap the green handles around them so the tool stays light instead of chunky.
Board Notes
- Layout
- A pair of scissors leans diagonally up to the right. The handles are bright lime green, each loop keeps a white circular hole, the lower blade is filled with pale pink, gray metal rails line both blade edges, and a black tip plus black hinge cells sharpen the lower-left end.
- Goal
- Keep both white handle holes and the narrow pink blade channel visible before the green loops are filled. The scissors only read correctly if the loops stay hollow and the blade core stays separate from the gray rails.
- Opening
- Leave the two white loop centers open first, then fill the pale pink strip inside the lower blade. Trace the gray blade rails and the black tip next, build the green bridge at the hinge, and close the two green loops last.
- Danger Zone
- Each green loop is only a thin ring, but treating it as a solid circle instantly closes the white center hole — these holes are roughly 3–5 gems each, completely surrounded by lime green, so there is no outline or contrast to mark their position once the loop is filled solid. The lower blade has a different problem: the gray metal rails on both edges are wider than the pale pink blade insert between them, and placing the rails before the pink strip has a clear route to the black tip squeezes the insert into nothing, turning the blade from a three-layer sandwich (gray–pink–gray) into one flat gray wedge. The black cutting tip at the bottom is only 2–3 gems and sits at the convergence of the gray rails, the green bridge, and the pink insert — the tightest junction on the board.
- Mechanics
- This is the second scissors board in the 91–100 range (after Level 93), but the challenge shifts from blade-color matching to a pure negative-space problem. The two loop holes and the slim pink blade channel are the structural skeleton; the colored fills are secondary. The diagonal orientation adds a staircase alignment requirement to every boundary, making straight lines impossible and forcing the player to maintain ring shapes and channel widths along an angled axis. The pale pink blade insert inside the gray rails also introduces a three-layer sandwich structure that is narrower than any comparable detail in the earlier scissors level.
Quick Tips for Jewel Coloring Level 97 (spoiler-free)
- Think of each handle as a ring, not a disk.
- Keep the pink blade center visible all the way to the black tip before widening the gray rails.
- If the board feels stuck, look for the color with the cleanest path and use that to regain space.
How to Solve Jewel Coloring Level 97 — Full Solution
- Leave the white hole open inside the upper-left loop and the matching white hole inside the right loop.
- Fill the pale pink strip inside the lower blade from the hinge area toward the black tip.
- Trace the gray metal rails on both blades and keep the black cutting tip narrow.
- Build the lime-green bridge where the handles cross over the blade base.
- Fill the upper-left green loop and then the right loop without closing either white opening.
- Finish the black outline accents along the outer edge and clear the pale background around the scissors.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Closing one of the white loop centers with green fill — each hole is roughly 3–5 gems completely surrounded by lime green, and once the ring is filled solid the hole position is unrecoverable, turning a finger loop into a featureless green disc.
- Losing the pale pink blade insert under the gray rails. The insert is narrower than the rails on either side, and placing the gray edges before the pink strip has a clear route to the black tip squeezes the insert out entirely, reducing the blade from a three-layer sandwich to a flat gray wedge.
- Overbuilding the black tip until the lower blade stops looking sharp. The tip is only 2–3 gems at the convergence of the gray rails, the green bridge, and the pink insert; adding even one extra black gem beyond the tip widens the point into a blunt block and removes the scissors' cutting profile.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I fill first in Jewel Coloring Level 97?
Start by protecting the two white loop holes and the pale pink blade insert. Those openings define the scissors before the green handles are allowed to close around them.
Why do the scissors in Level 97 look too chunky?
That usually means one of the loop holes was closed or the gray rails widened across the pink blade center. The board depends on keeping those narrow openings intact.
