Strategies & tips
A few good habits make even the trickier levels click into place, so start with the basics and layer in the advanced tactics once they feel natural.
Beginner strategies:
- Use empty containers wisely: Empty containers are your workspace. Don't fill them randomly.
- Focus on one color: Try to complete one color at a time rather than spreading moves across all colors.
- Look for isolated colors: Colors that appear only at the top of containers are easier to sort first.
- Don't be afraid to undo: If you get stuck, undo a few moves and try a different approach.
Advanced strategies:
- Plan move sequences: Think 3-4 moves ahead to avoid getting stuck.
- Create temporary storage: Use empty containers to temporarily hold colors while reorganizing.
- Bottom-up approach: Sometimes it helps to think about which colors need to be at the bottom of containers.
- Identify bottlenecks: Look for colors that are trapped under other colors and plan how to free them.
- Minimize moves: Challenge yourself to solve levels in fewer moves for better efficiency.
