22-10-15 top counters / 20-count center board
Color Block Jam Level 282 Solution
This solution matches the Level 282 board that opens with top counters 22, 10, and 15, a purple center counter reading 20, and a 1:35 timer. Use the open lower rows to cycle the long pieces, keep the two bottom arrow blocks movable, and send each gate-matched piece out as its lane opens. The first run reaches the level-complete panel at about 1:29; the replay that begins around 1:35 is not part of this guide.

Common mistakes
- Following this route without confirming the opening numbers 22, 10, 15, and 20 and the 1:35 timer; a different board needs a different solution.
- Parking a long magenta or cyan bar in front of a bottom gate, which removes the circulation space needed to bring the arrow blocks into position.
- Continuing into the Replay segment at about 1:35 and treating it as part of the first solution; the verified first run is already complete at about 1:29.
