Confirm the irregular board with wooden 6, 10, and 18 sections. Slide the purple square from the upper-right pocket left across the narrow top bridge.
Checkpoint: The purple square is centered beneath the upper purple gate and all three counters still read 6, 10, and 18.
Watch at 0:11Lift the aligned purple square through the purple gate at the top.
Checkpoint: Purple leaves at about 0:13 and the counters read 5, 9, and 17.
Watch at 0:13Move the small dark-green square into the center opening. Shift the red vertical block left, move the cyan square down the left channel, and align the yellow block with its matching gate on the left.
Checkpoint: Yellow has a clear route to the left edge and the central wooden 9 is no longer boxed in by red and green.
Watch at 0:26Send the aligned yellow block through the yellow gate on the left.
Checkpoint: The matched exit at about 0:27 leaves the counters at 4, 8, and 16.
Watch at 0:27Lower the red vertical block into the left-center lane. Move the cyan square beside it, then slide the blue square through the open lower row until it sits above the blue bottom gate.
Checkpoint: Blue is aligned at the bottom while cyan and red remain separated in the left-center pocket.
Watch at 0:34Drop the blue square through the blue gate at the bottom.
Checkpoint: Blue clears at about 0:35 and the countdowns read 3, 7, and 15.
Watch at 0:35Move the long purple bar left along the lower bridge. Raise the purple star block in the left tower, shift the red and dark-green columns through the center, and carry the cyan bar across the bottom.
Checkpoint: The bottom row is connected from the cyan block on the left to the blue exit lane near the center.
Watch at 0:54Move the small blue square into the cleared lower pocket and send it through the bottom blue gate.
Checkpoint: Blue particles appear at about 1:00 and the countdowns read 2, 6, and 14.
Watch at 1:00Slide the cyan bar right, move the dark-green column up the middle, and bring the red square from the lower center toward the narrow upper bridge. Keep the purple bar below the bridge so red can pass.
Checkpoint: The red square is directly beneath the red top gate and the remaining counters still read 2, 6, and 14.
Watch at 1:20Send the red square through the red gate at the top.
Checkpoint: Red leaves at about 1:21 and the countdowns read 1, 5, and 13.
Watch at 1:21Move the long purple bar back across the upper bridge. Shift the blue and green blocks along the lower bridge, then clear the next matched block to remove the upper-left wooden 1.
Checkpoint: The upper-left wooden section opens at about 1:31 and reveals a tall yellow block; the other counters read 4 and 12.
Watch at 1:31Lower the revealed yellow column through the left tower. Move the purple star block down, slide the dark-green block into the center, and keep the cyan block clear of the top bridge.
Checkpoint: Yellow stands in the left-center lane and the top bridge is free for the next red and cyan exits.
Watch at 1:48Send the staged red block through the red top gate. Move the yellow column left toward its gate, raise the cyan block through the center, and keep the long purple bar parked on the right bridge.
Checkpoint: The center wooden countdown reaches 1 while the lower-right countdown reaches 9.
Watch at 1:57Send the cyan block through the cyan top gate, then slide the yellow block through the yellow gate on the left.
Checkpoint: The center wooden 1 clears at about 1:58 and the lower-right countdown remains at 8.
Watch at 1:58Move the newly exposed green blocks up through the center. Send the first green block through the top green gate, then move the purple bar left and lower the red column into the open middle.
Checkpoint: The last wooden countdown has fallen to 7 and the center of the irregular board is mostly empty.
Watch at 2:03Alternate the staged matched exits: clear purple through the bottom, green through the top, red through the top, and cyan through the upper gate while keeping the long purple stack on the left wall.
Checkpoint: The lower-right countdown steps through 4, 3, 2, and 1 without trapping the remaining colored pieces.
Watch at 2:17Clear the next matched purple block through the top bridge to remove the final wooden 1.
Checkpoint: The last wooden section opens at about 2:21 and reveals the cyan, blue, green, and purple endgame pieces.
Watch at 2:21Send the revealed blue square through the bottom gate. Move cyan to the left-side gate, then clear the two small purple pieces through their matching top and bottom gates.
Checkpoint: Blue, cyan, and the two small purple pieces are gone by about 2:28; only the green group, cyan bar, and purple star remain.
Watch at 2:28Send the two green blocks through the left green gate in sequence. Move the cyan bar across the empty board to the right cyan gate, then drop the final purple star through the bottom purple gate.
Checkpoint: The board is empty after the cyan and purple exits at about 2:35.
Watch at 2:35Wait after the final purple exit and confirm the result screen.
Checkpoint: The level-complete panel appears at about 2:36.

Common mistakes
- Starting without matching the irregular board and wooden countdowns 6, 10, and 18; a different layout should not use this sequence.
- Blocking the narrow upper bridge before the early purple and red exits, which prevents the counters from falling in the verified order.
- Clearing a newly revealed timed group before opening space in the center; the later green, cyan, and purple pieces need that shared route.
Frequently asked questions
Which Level 271 layout does this guide cover?
It covers the irregular board with wooden countdowns 6, 10, and 18 and a narrow colored bridge across the top.
Why does Level 271 reveal more pieces during the solution?
Each wooden countdown hides part of the board. Matched exits reduce all visible counters, and reaching zero releases the pieces behind that section.
Does the linked walkthrough show the complete Level 271 solution?
Yes. It shows the opening board, every countdown phase, the final cleanup, and the level-complete panel at about 2:36.
Wrong layout?
This walkthrough matches the irregular Level 271 board with wooden countdowns 6 in the upper-left tower, 10 in the center, and 18 in the lower-right section. If those values or the narrow upper bridge differ, use the Wrong Level tool instead of forcing these moves.
