Color Block Jam Level 173 features a 9x9 grid in an H-shape layout, which creates spatial challenges in the center and vertical legs. The key to solving this level is unlocking the center and managing both arms of the H without isolating blocks.
Begin by targeting the central green cluster in the horizontal middle of the H.
Slide blocks inward to create a compact group and clear the core early.
Focus on the purple and orange blocks in the top-left and bottom-left sections.
Work from the outer edge inward to avoid trapping pieces near corners.
On the right vertical arm, bring blue and red blocks toward the center.
Trigger a group merge when full alignment is possible to open vertical lanes.
After the arms are cleared, revisit the middle.
Combine scattered leftover blocks into one or two chain reactions to clear the bulk of the remaining colors.
Any stragglers (likely purple or orange) should now be grouped.
Use smart alignment or a Color Shift booster to complete the level with minimal moves.
In Level 173’s H-shaped layout, be cautious of the trap zones—especially the top-left and bottom-right corners—which can easily isolate blocks if not cleared early. It’s best to work from the edges toward the center to avoid leaving colors stranded. Handle the left and right arms of the H separately, and try to mirror your actions on each side to keep the board balanced. Make sure to keep the center clear, as it's crucial for moving pieces around later in the game. Finally, be efficient with your moves—wait until full combos are ready before triggering merges to get the most out of each shift.
Mastering Level 173 takes focus, foresight, and clever coordination between block groups. With this guide, you’ll clear it confidently—and move closer to elite status in Color Block Jam. Keep matching smart, and don’t forget to think ahead!
