Step-by-step solution
Level 695 splits the center into two pockets and saves a flood of Orange for the second half. Clear the left pocket first, then the right, and only let the Orange rush in once you have open slots to catch it.
The Layout: A Center Cut in Half
The middle of the board is not one block but two separate pockets divided by a thin wall, and the Orange marbles are all held back in the right pocket. That means the first half of the level is almost Orange free, and the second half is suddenly Orange heavy.
Players get caught because the early board feels calm and they burn slots on low value colors. Then the Orange flood arrives and there is no room left. The trick is to treat the two halves as two separate puzzles joined by one timing decision.
Read Both Pockets Before Moving
Look at the left pocket first. It is smaller and clears quickly, so it is your warm up that also earns you slots. The right pocket is deeper and holds the Orange, so you want it calm and untouched while you work the left.
Find the wall gap between the pockets. That gap is the only place Orange can cross later, so the colors sitting next to it on the left side are the ones you will pair Orange against. Keep them, do not clear them early.
Clear the Left Pocket First
Start in the left pocket. Pair its colors in tidy groups and bank open slots, but stop before you touch the dividing wall. The goal here is pure slot economy — leave yourself as much empty space as possible for the Orange that is coming.
Resist clearing the colors beside the wall gap. Those are your future Orange partners, and spending them now steals the space Orange needs to land safely.
Why the Orange Flood Must Wait
Orange is packed into the right pocket and releases as a burst, not a trickle. If you open that pocket while your slots are full, the Orange piles into one column and blocks the rest of the release in two moves.
The flood is predictable, so your job is to be empty when it hits. Every slot you free on the left is a slot the Orange can use, which is why the left pocket matters more than its size suggests.
Open the Right Pocket and Catch the Orange
When the left pocket is done and you have at least three open slots, break the wall gap. Orange rushes across — feed it into the slots you saved and pair it against the colors you deliberately kept beside the gap.
The right pocket boxes now empty outward. Clear them as they fall and keep Orange moving into pairs. A controlled catch here turns a scary flood into a clean, satisfying clear.
Finish the Level
With both pockets open, the board is mostly Orange plus a few leftovers. Pair calmly and watch the final belt: if an Orange is left without a partner, hold it in a slot and pull its match from the last box rather than forcing a mismatch.
Level 695 is a timing puzzle dressed as a color puzzle. Clear left, bank space, then let the Orange flood arrive into room you already made. The last rows take care of themselves.
Frequently asked questions
Why does Orange show up so late on Level 695?
All the Orange marbles are held in the right pocket of a split center. The left pocket clears first with almost no Orange, so the color only floods in during the second half of the level.
When should I open the right pocket?
Wait until the left pocket is cleared and you have at least three open slots. Opening it early leaves the Orange flood with no room and can lock the board fast.
What happens if I release Orange too soon?
The Orange arrives as a burst and piles into a full column, blocking the rest of the release within two moves. You need empty slots waiting for it.
Which colors should I keep for the Orange?
Keep the colors sitting next to the wall gap on the left side. Those are the ones Orange pairs against, so clearing them early steals the space Orange needs.
How many open slots do I need for the Orange flood?
Aim for at least three empty slots. Orange comes out as a sudden burst, and that space lets it pair instead of jamming one column.
Any tip for the final rows?
If an Orange is left without a partner, hold it in a slot and pull its match from the last box. The last rows are mostly Orange, so a calm, ordered clear finishes the level.
