Color Block Jam Level 74 Walkthrough
Having trouble with Level 74 in Color Block Jam? This step-by-step guide walks you through disarming a bomb and freeing a chained block while managing a tight grid.
The Dilemma
I had two green blocks. One with a chain, glaring at me like it knew I was the key to its freedom. The other was bomb-ready, looking for its final hurrah. But first, I had to clear the middle grid—a chaos of misaligned colors and emotional decisions.
The Challenging Goal
The goal? Release the chained green block by clearing matches around it. I used yellow to start the domino effect, then positioned the bombed green for maximum impact—just enough to shatter the chain.
Step-by-Step Walkthrough for Level 74
- Identify both green blocks—note which one has the bomb and which is chained.
- Target the bomb green block first. Use surrounding green pieces to form a match before the bomb detonates.
- Use the chain-clearing mechanic: Make a match that includes the chained green block—this removes the chain and frees it for matching.
- Avoid clearing other colors too early. Focus on clearing space around the green blocks to give them room for future matches.
- Once both special blocks are handled, create cascading combos in open space to clear the rest of the grid quickly and efficiently.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Trying to move the chained block—it won’t budge until the chain is cleared.
- Focusing on unrelated colors while the bomb countdown ticks.
- Misaligning green blocks so they don’t reach the chained or bomb blocks in time.
- Not clearing space early—cluttered grids make positioning harder.
Victory Recap: Use the bomb smartly, free your chained comrade, and let green take the stage.
