This Level 281 guide is generated from the extracted level configuration. It is a configuration-based strategy: use the queue order below to decide which boxes are safe to stage, and keep a free waiting slot so blocked colors do not fill all five spaces.

  1. Start with boxes matching the exposed edge colors: Blue, Cyan, and Teal.
  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 White, Black, and Yellow 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.
