Step-by-step solution
- 1) Start by dropping the exposed Orange sitting on the front-left of the Top Tray, which falls into the Orange receiver on the third column, then send the front-right Red into the second column's Red box.
- 2) Once a question-mark tile appears in both the second and third columns, poke the grey Hidden Boxes located right behind where the Orange and Red used to be, aiming for the Dark Blue and White marbles.
- 3) Route the Dark Blue and White you just uncovered into the receivers at the far ends of the bottom row.
- 4) Column two later reveals twin Purple targets, so feed the Purple scattered on the lower-left and lower-right halves of the board into them.
- 5) Climb the left flank of the Top Tray until the yellow key shows up, which shatters the yellow lock on the bottom set of Connected Boxes.
- 6) Work your way up the right flank until the purple key is revealed, which pops the violet seal that keeps the upper pair of Connected Boxes shut.
- 7) Empty the Connected Boxes that the keys freed right in the middle, flushing matching colors into the bottom trays and exposing the final hidden boxes.
- 8) Mop up any leftover Pink, Light Blue, or Green, then cycle the last colors from the three top Tunnels into the remaining bottom targets.
Level 97 Double Lock and Key Fortress
sphere Sort Level 97 hits one with a massive, intimidating wall of unknowns.
this entire middle from this board sits one fortress from grey secret cases marked using question marks, totally blocking your path to the top.
into make things worse, blind middle on this wall rests one double tier from Connected cases held together via one purple and yellow Lock and Key system.
one have to dismantle it piece by piece.
this problem sits that this keys into available those locks sit trapped on this extreme upper west plus top right corners, buried underneath heavy Tunnels .
If one mismanage this first sends, this Conveyor track shall choke over trap shades before you ever reach those top corners.
Level 97 Mystery Minefield
one want into understand exactly how this board sits stacked before making a single move.
this top tray layout is a deliberate trap.
one hold amber, rose, Light azure, Green, and Red sitting fully exposed.
Now look down at the four bottom Boxes .
this ready head-line targets sit Dark azure over this far west, crimson on lane two, amber on lane three, and White on the far right.
one hold amber plus crimson available onto upper, but one do not hold immediate access to Dark Blue or White.
Worse, this lower section is heavily layered with Mystery Boxes .
lane one hides one Mystery Box under the Light Blue target.
lane two sits one mess, placing one secret case east under this first crimson, followed by two Purples and another mystery.
lane three hides two consecutive secret Boxes directly under the first Orange.
lane four alternates ivory, Red, White, ending with a final mystery.
If one blindly bring this rose, Light azure, plus emerald from this upper rack just since they sit loose, they shall sit on the Conveyor Belt indefinitely.
one can't empty this lower rose or Light azure until this Dark Blue and Orange targets are resolved.
this track shall jam, and your run will fail fast.
this entire goal sits into surgically dig through this outermost rims from this grey secret cases into find this Dark azure plus ivory spheres, empty this head lines, plus slowly climb this side lanes to reach the yellow and purple keys.

Level 97 Surviving the Front Row
Your opening moves must be highly disciplined.
one sit playing into show this lower secret cases as fast as possible so one know what the board actually demands.
choose this head-west amber piece on this upper rack into route the bottom Orange Box in column three.
choose this head-east crimson piece into empty the bottom Red Box in column two.
Leave this rose, Light azure, and Green exactly where they are.
using lane two plus lane three now showing one secret case , choose this grey secret cases directly past where this Orange and Red blocks used to sit.
one sit hunting with Dark azure plus ivory spheres into route this outer left and outer right bottom Boxes .
just send one shade if that matches this ready lower line or if one hold enough empty Conveyor track slots into store it temporarily without causing a jam.
Once one lower secret case uncovers its shade, prioritize finding its match from this lower rows of the grey Hidden Boxes .
Level 97 Breaking this Lock and Key Trap
After this first few lower boxes clear, the board shifts.
this side lanes from the Top Tray will slowly open up.
one must now push toward the top corners.
Focus heavily over clearing this extreme west plus right vertical edges of the Top Tray .
Keep clearing the newly revealed bottom Boxes .
Notice how lane two opens up those double Purple targets.
one shall find plenty from violet spheres on this middle-west and middle-right sections of the board.
Push onto this west edge until you expose the yellow key.
This shatters this gold seal holding this lower set of Connected Boxes in the center.
Push onto this east edge until you expose the purple key.
This breaks this violet seal holding the top set of Connected Boxes .
Even though this '4' counters make them zzz look tempting, wait until this middle of the board is completely cracked open.
Level 97 Emptying the Tunnels
this late game completely relies on belt management.
Once this middle locks break, one huge dump of new colors will become available.
empty this now-unlocked Connected cases in the dead center.
This flushes one huge chunk from matching shades into this lower trays plus usually reveals the final hidden bottom Boxes .
Look at this three Tunnels at this top of the board.
just trigger one tunnel if this ready lower case needs one shade that is nowhere else on the board.
If one trigger them first, you risk dropping colors you cannot use.
Clean onto any remaining rose, Light azure, or emerald pieces that one west past at the very start of the level.
Their lower Boxes should finally be active and waiting.
spin this last shades from this middle Tunnels into this remaining lower targets to close out the level.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main trap to avoid in Level 97?
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 97?
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 97?
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 97 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.
