Read from the board image on this page, last measured 2026-09-25. Colour names are read off the hex shown beside them and may differ from the name the game gives that block. The game decides which block you can feed, so treat this as what the board costs to clear, not as a tap order.
How to read the Level 173 board
Start with the biggest colour: white
white covers 17.7% of the board — more than any other colour on this board. A block only clears once every matching cell is eaten, so the biggest colour is the slowest to drain and the one worth seating as soon as the queue offers it.
cyan cannot finish early
88% of the cells of cyan are walled in by white, dark grey and 2 other colours in the board image. That part of the block stays stuck until the surrounding colour is eaten, so expect a long stall rather than a failed run.
5 colours clear without waiting
white, orange and purple and 2 more are all reachable from the start — nothing on the board blocks them, so any of them can start as soon as the queue offers one, while the walled-off colours wait.
Ignore the empty background
The cream area is 41.7% of the board and sits outside the picture. No block was measured against it, so it does not count towards the clear.
