Measured from the board image on this page, the picture breaks down into 8 colours, each covering at least 2% of the board: cyan covering the most at 31.9%, then red (12.7%) and dark grey (9.8%), with 5 smaller colours behind them.

Read from the board image on this page, last measured 2026-10-25. Colour names are read off the hex shown beside them and may differ from the name the game gives that colour. The game decides which colour is playable at any moment, so treat this as what the board costs to clear, not as a play order.
How to read the Level 401 board
Start with the biggest colour: cyan
cyan covers 31.9% of the board - more than any other colour here. A colour only clears once every part of it has been taken off the board, so the biggest colour is the slowest to finish and the one worth starting on as soon as the game offers it.
dark grey is spread across the picture
dark grey sits in 29 separate runs in the board image, so it cannot be finished in one place. Take the runs you can reach and come back to the rest as the colours around them clear.
red comes off in one run
Every red cell in the picture is joined up - one unbroken run covering 12.7% of the board. Once you start on it there is a single block to finish rather than several patches.
Ignore the empty background
The cream area is 16.7% of the board and sits outside the picture. Nothing was measured against it, so it does not count towards the clear.
