Quick tips

  1. Every strong move either enters or clears the waist.
  2. Move the paired cyan `2` bricks only after a long bar has crossed.
  3. If the board feels stuck, look for the color with the cleanest path and use that to regain space.

Step-by-step solution

Step-by-step solution

  1. 1

    Move 1

    Drop one of the center vertical bars through the narrow throat so the two chambers stop pinning each other.

  2. 2

    Move 2

    Swap the top red and blue columns through the waist until one side counter shrinks enough to give extra room.

  3. 3

    Move 3

    Move the paired cyan `2` bricks only after a long bar has crossed, so they use the temporary pocket instead of clogging it.

  4. 4

    Move 4

    Keep alternating top-to-bottom and bottom-to-top transfers through the center until the outer yellow columns can separate cleanly.

  5. 5

    Move 5

    Use the newly opened side lanes to remove the red columns from each chamber.

  6. 6

    Move 6

    Finish by draining the last yellow and blue columns after the throat is no longer occupied.

Common failure points

Trying to clear one chamber completely before using the other half.

Parking a short block in the throat when a full column still needs to cross.
