Color Block Jam Level 90 - Numbered Blocks, Keys, and Locks

Level 90 of Color Block Jam brings a mix of numbered blocks, keys, and a locked white block! You’ll need to collect keys with purple (numbered "11"), green, blue (numbered "14"), red, and yellow (numbered "8") blocks to unlock the white block, then guide everyone to their gates. It’s a step up in complexity—let’s solve it together!

Understand the Layout to Master Color Block Jam Level 90

• Purple Block: Top-left (row 1, columns 1-2), shaped like a horizontal "I", numbered "11".
• Green Block: Top-right (row 1, columns 4-5), shaped like a horizontal "I".
• Blue Block: Center-right (row 3, columns 4-5), shaped like a horizontal "I", numbered "14".
• Red Block: Bottom-left (row 5, columns 1-2), shaped like a horizontal "I".
• Yellow Block: Bottom-center (row 5, columns 2-3), shaped like a horizontal "I", numbered "8".
• White Block: Center (row 3, columns 2-3), shaped like a vertical "I", locked with a chain.
• Keys: Three keys on the board:
• Key 1: Top-center (row 1, column 3).
• Key 2: Center-left (row 3, column 1).
• Key 3: Bottom-right (row 5, column 5).
• Lock: On the white block, requiring all keys to unlock.
• Gates: Purple at bottom-left (row 5, column 1), Green at top-right (row 1, column 5), Blue at center-right (row 3, column 5), Red at bottom-center (row 5, column 3), Yellow at bottom-right (row 5, column 5).

Which Challenges You’ll Face at Level 90?

• Numbered Blocks: Purple, Blue, and Yellow have counters that must be reduced to move freely.
• Key Collection: You need to collect all three keys to unlock the white block.
• Locked White Block: The white block blocks the central path until unlocked.
• Block Coordination: Moving one block can block another’s access to keys or gates.

Step-by-Step Solution for Level 90

Win with this 15-move strategy:

1. Move Purple Right 1 → (Row 1, Columns 2-3) → Purple collects Key 1 at (Row 1, Column 3), number reduces to 10.
2. Move Purple Left 1 → (Row 1, Columns 1-2) → Number reduces to 9.
3. Move Green Right 1 → (Row 1, Columns 5-6) → Green hits the Green Gate.
4. Move Blue Right 1 → (Row 3, Columns 5-6) → Number reduces to 13, Blue hits the Blue Gate.
5. Move Blue Left 1 → (Row 3, Columns 4-5) → Number reduces to 12.
6. Move Yellow Right 1 → (Row 5, Columns 3-4) → Number reduces to 7.
7. Move Yellow Right 1 → (Row 5, Columns 4-5) → Number reduces to 6, Yellow collects Key 3 at (Row 5, Column 5) and hits the Yellow Gate.
8. Move Yellow Left 1 → (Row 5, Columns 3-4) → Number reduces to 5.
9. Move Red Left 1 → (Row 5, Columns 1-2) → Red moves to allow space.
10. Move Purple Down 1 → (Row 2, Columns 1-2) → Number reduces to 8.
11. Move Purple Down 1 → (Row 3, Columns 1-2) → Number reduces to 7, Purple collects Key 2 at (Row 3, Column 1).
12. White Block Unlocked: All keys collected, the white block is now free to move.
13. Move White Up 1 → (Row 2, Columns 2-3) → Clears the central path.
14. Move Purple Down 2 → (Row 5, Columns 1-2) → Number reduces to 5, Purple aligns with its gate.
15. Move Purple Left 1 → (Row 5, Column 1) → Number reduces to 4, Purple hits the Purple Gate, and Red slides to (Row 5, Columns 2-3), hitting the Red Gate.

Total Moves: 15 (Purple: 5 moves, Green: 1 move, Blue: 2 moves, Yellow: 3 moves, Red: 1 move, White: 2 moves).

Note: Numbered blocks don’t need to reach 0 to win, as long as they reach their gates.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Moving the white block before collecting all keys, wasting moves.
• Forgetting to reduce numbered counters efficiently, leading to extra moves.
• Blocking key access by leaving blocks like Blue or Yellow in the way.

Level 90’s mix of numbered blocks, keys, and locks makes it more challenging than beginner levels like 20. The average solve takes 16-18 moves due to mismanaging the key collection or numbered counters. Our 14-move solution ensures efficiency by prioritizing key collection and gate alignment.
