Video walkthrough

Quick tips

  1. The purple '17' block is a marathon — clear the smiley blocks first to build space.
  2. The smiley blocks in the middle are free-sliding — use this freedom to clear paths for the arrow blocks.
  3. Think in chain clears. The best move is the one that sets up the next two moves, not just the quickest current match.

Step-by-step solution

Step-by-step solution

  1. 1

    Move 1

    Clear the red and orange blocks at the top through the top exit to open the upper section.

  2. 2

    Move 2

    Shift the blue blocks on the left out through the left exit to open the lower-left area.

  3. 3

    Move 3

    Begin sliding the green and yellow smiley blocks in the middle freely — they can move in any direction.

  4. 4

    Move 4

    Clear the red blocks on the right through the right exit as the middle opens.

  5. 5

    Move 5

    Tackle the large purple '17' block at the bottom — it needs 17 exits to fully clear.

  6. 6

    Move 6

    Finish with any remaining smiley blocks trapped in the corners.

Common failure points

Trying to clear the '17' block before the smiley blocks — it needs room to slide and exit multiple times.

Clearing the middle before the top, which leaves the upper blocks trapped with no sliding room.
