Color Block Jam Level 517 Solution
This Level 517 walkthrough covers the 1:40 opening board with the top-center 5 lock and several keyed blocks across the lower half. Open the center around the large pink piece first, then unlock the lower-left, center, and lower-right lanes before clearing the final orange pieces. The first level-complete panel appears at about 1:35, before the replay begins.

Common mistakes
- Forcing the lower keyed blocks before the large pink center piece has space to move.
- Blocking the right lower lane with the red keyed block, which prevents the yellow and cyan pieces from clearing.
- Following the replay segment instead of the first solve; the first completion appears around 1:35.
Frequently asked questions
Is Level 517 visible in the source video?
Yes. The opening frame visibly shows Level 517 with a 1:40 timer.
Does the source show a Hard or Very Hard label?
No. The reviewed source shows the level and completion, but it does not show a visible in-game Hard or Very Hard label, so this guide keeps the difficulty as unknown.
Where is the completion proof?
The first level-complete panel appears around 1:35 in the CherieGaming source video, before the replay begins.
Wrong layout?
This walkthrough matches the Level 517 board with the 1:40 key-lock opening layout. If your board has a different top lock, different keyed block positions, or a different timer, use a matching guide instead.
