  1. Start with boxes matching the exposed edge colors: Black.
  2. Avoid filling all five waiting slots with colors that are still buried inside the picture.
  3. Use each emptied slot to bring forward the next queue head that can clear visible pixels.
  4. Save deeply buried colors such as Blue, Cyan, and Brown until the outer layer has been opened.
  5. After the major exposed colors are cleared, follow the queue order to finish the remaining pixel groups.
