Level 697 is a center-first route with a 2:07 opening timer. Create a working pocket in the middle before committing either side, then clear the side exits only when each color lane is aligned. The first solve completes around 2:00–2:10, and the replay confirms Level Complete near 4:10.

Common mistakes
- Do not start by forcing a side exit; the center pocket must open first.
- Do not close the center after the first side piece leaves, because later large pieces still need that space.
- Do not confuse the replay with the first solve when checking your timestamps.
