Level 487 of Color Block Jam looks simple at first glance, but the dense layering of blocks makes it one of those puzzles that tests your patience and planning. The frozen block with the number 9 is located at the bottom center, trapped behind a series of overlapping orange, purple, blue, and green blocks. The real challenge comes from the large purple cluster in the middle of the board; it acts like a wall, forcing you to carefully shift surrounding blocks in a sequence to gradually open the path.
To start, focus on sliding the vertical green and blue blocks away from the center. This opens side corridors that let you push the large orange and purple blocks out of the way. Next, begin working on clearing the purple center cluster by sliding its smaller pieces upward and downward where space allows. This step unlocks the flexibility you need to maneuver the bigger blocks at the top and bottom. Slowly but steadily, you’ll create a vertical lane down the middle, allowing the 9-block to be freed.
Many players try to force the orange or green blocks down too early, which only jams the center even more. Another frequent error is ignoring the side corridors until it’s too late by then, the board gets overcrowded and almost impossible to recover. Lastly, some attempt to drag the frozen 9 out before clearing enough room, wasting precious moves.
Color Block Jam Level 487 requires a balance of patience and foresight. By carefully dismantling the purple block cluster and maintaining open side corridors, you’ll create the pathway needed to release the frozen number 9. With steady moves and proper planning, you can solve this level efficiently.
