Start only if your board matches the 6, 11, and 10 layout: top lock 6, right-side lock 11, and bottom crate 10.
Checkpoint: The cyan top exit, yellow top-right exit, cyan right exit, purple right exit, green bottom-left exit, blue bottom exit, and pink bottom exit are visible.
Watch at 0:04Begin the opening shuffle around the upper middle, moving the small central pieces just enough to reduce the top and right countdown locks.
Checkpoint: The top and right locks have started to drop, and the middle is still open.
Watch at 0:08Check that the first rotation has reached the 5, 10, and 9 countdown state before moving deeper into the center.

Watch at 0:14Shift the green/yellow vertical stack and nearby red pieces without blocking the top cyan exit lane.
Checkpoint: The upper-left and middle lanes are open enough for the large cyan piece to approach later.

Watch at 0:30Move the large cyan block through the center-left lane so it can line up with the top cyan exit.

Watch at 0:54Send the large cyan piece through the top cyan exit.
Checkpoint: The top-left area becomes mostly open after the cyan piece leaves.
Watch at 1:04Reposition the red L-shaped block and the yellow-green vertical stack so the top-right yellow exit can be used later.
Checkpoint: The red L block is no longer blocking the upper lane.
Watch at 1:08Clear the upper-right yellow/green stack through the top-right exit area to reduce the right-side obstruction.
Checkpoint: The right side opens and the remaining cyan vertical piece can move upward.

Checkpoint: The left column remains open for another cyan clear.
Watch at 1:24Clear the cyan vertical piece through the top cyan exit.
Checkpoint: The endgame is mostly red L block, yellow vertical block, purple block, and a few lower pieces.
Watch at 1:44Shift the small lower cyan and purple pieces toward their exits to free the bottom lanes.
Checkpoint: The lower exits are open for the last pieces.
Watch at 1:50Move the remaining cyan/blue lower piece out while keeping the red L block positioned near the right side.
Checkpoint: Only the yellow vertical block, red L block, and final small pieces remain.
Watch at 1:58Clear the yellow vertical block through the top-right yellow exit, then move the red L-shaped block into its final route.

Common mistakes
- Following the replay instead of the first clear; the first successful solution ends around 2:06 and the replay begins around 2:10.
- Blocking the top cyan exit too early with red or green pieces before the large cyan piece clears.
- Moving the red L-shaped block too aggressively before the cyan exits are cleared, which can trap the lower pieces.
