Step-by-step solution
- 1) Open by dropping the Mint Green marble straight down into the Mint Green Box, since it is your only clean match on the board.
- 2) Tap the single Dark Blue block you can see on the far right to partially fill a Dark Blue Box, and leave the Green, Orange, and Light Blue tiles that sit on the left untouched for now.
- 3) Start a vertical dig in the two empty gaps left behind, tapping each newly exposed block one by one and watching what shade it reveals.
- 4) If a block turns out Black, drop it immediately to clear the left Box; if it turns out Dark Blue, use it to finish the right Boxes; if it is Pink, Purple, or Red, park it on the belt.
- 5) Keep tapping down that same column until you uncover the missing Black or Dark Blue you need.
- 6) When the front boxes clear, pull up the next row of Mystery Boxes and use your parked Pink and Purple marbles to clear their freshly appeared boxes.
- 7) Release the Green, Orange, and Light Blue blocks you saved on the left once their boxes finally reveal, and drill one column at a time instead of skimming rows.
- 8) Never tap a Mystery Box unless you have spare belt slots, then match the last visible Pink, Purple, and Red clusters from the bottom up to finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main trap to avoid in Level 178?
The biggest mistake is tapping colors that have no active bottom Box yet. They park on your Conveyor Belt and burn limited slots, so clear the shades that actually have receivers first.
How should I open Level 178?
Ignore the upper layers and aim at the bottom row of the Top Tray. Feed the colors that already have open boxes, then work upward once the lower lanes shift.
When does the midgame color change happen in Level 178?
After the opening boxes fall, the lower columns swap what they demand. Watch for the new shades and only pull blocks that match a box sitting at the front of a lower lane.
Any tip for finishing Level 178 clean?
Keep at least a few empty belt slots before poking mystery or hidden boxes. Feed a revealed color the moment it matches an active box, and fall back to visible marbles when the belt gets tight.
