1:50 center-spacer board
Color Block Jam Level 485 Solution
Match the Level 485 board with the visible Very Hard map card, 1:50 timer, left 3 and right 7 counters, central 3x3 open area, and key-marked pieces. Keep the large teal spacer mobile, clear early side/bottom pieces until the counters drop, then finish the right-side cleanup and final orange exit before completion appears around 1:43.
