Common mistakes
- Following this route without confirming all six opening values—12, 5, 10, 7, 3, and 17—which indicates a different Level 318 layout.
- Using the center lanes for large orange or cyan pieces before the next matched exit is staged, leaving no path for the red and purple blocks.
- Missing one of the three rapid purple exits after the center opens; all three are needed before the final top section and last countdown sequence can proceed.
Frequently asked questions
Which Level 318 layout does this solution cover?
It covers the six-countdown board that opens with 12, 5, 10, 7, 3, and 17.
Does the linked walkthrough complete Level 318?
Yes. The CherieGaming walkthrough reaches the level-complete panel at about 2:35.
Why do three purple blocks leave almost together?
Opening the center creates a direct route to the pink top-left gate. Clearing all three purple pieces in sequence opens the upper wooden section and reduces the last countdown to 4.
