The sample covers 43.0% of a 20x28 lattice: 9 colours, 1 empty rows and 41 separate colour groups.
pink 13.7% of the sample
Concentrated in the central half of the sample, so these pieces have to cross the busiest lanes.
blue 12.0% of the sample
Mostly around the edge, close to the doors and waiting lanes.
pale blue 12.0% of the sample
Spread across the sampled board rather than parked in one corner.
cyan 11.7% of the sample
Concentrated in the central half of the sample, so these pieces have to cross the busiest lanes.
red 9.0% of the sample
Concentrated in the central half of the sample, so these pieces have to cross the busiest lanes.
orange 7.7% of the sample
Sits almost entirely on the outer rim, where the door slots are. Treat it as a rim or door colour rather than another block group.
dark red 7.7% of the sample
Spread across the sampled board rather than parked in one corner.
yellow 3.7% of the sample
Mostly around the edge, close to the doors and waiting lanes.
green 3.0% of the sample
Mostly around the edge, close to the doors and waiting lanes.
navy 19.4% of the sample
Dark board backing — empty cells or mechanism panels, not a coloured block.

How to read this board
Start from the largest colour: pink
Pink covers 13.7% of the sampled board — more than any other colour. It has the most pieces to route, so clear it early once its door is reachable instead of leaving it until the board is tight.
Protect the middle: pink
Pink sits mostly in the central half of the sample. Moving it will cross routes other colours still need, so keep that part of the board as clear as the level allows.
Rim colours are doors, not extra blocks
orange appear almost only on the outer rim. They mark door slots or trim; do not count them as another group of pieces to clear.
The board starts crowded
Only 19.4% of the sample is dark background. With little spare space, every parked block costs a lane; plan two or three moves ahead before sliding into the centre.
How the Level 462 clear works
The sample fills 43.0% of its 20x28 lattice and splits into 9 colours and 41 groups. The pieces are spread across the sampled rows (25.3% top, 48.1% middle, 26.6% bottom) rather than stacked in one band. Blue is the most divided colour, with 10 separate groups in the sample. Space is shared, so the order matters more than the speed: a block parked in a doorway can wall off another colour completely.
Level 462 sits in the Expert tier and in the 441–480 block of this guide. Expert boards are the tightest: narrow lanes, moving elevators and generators that refill space you just cleared. Clear one color completely before opening another front, and restart early if the board jams. The sample has one empty row and no full-width corridor, so spare space is limited.
Strategy note 1
With only 1 empty row in the sample, every move has to open the next one. Plan two moves ahead before sliding into the middle.
Strategy note 2
Blue is split into 10 groups. Clear the group closest to its door first; the far groups stay blocked until that run is finished.
Strategy note 3
Only 43.0% of the sample is covered, so the edges can hold waiting blocks while the centre stays open.
Strategy note 4
Clear the edge pieces before the middle ones; the centre is where every route has to cross.
Strategy note 5
If two colours are split into several groups, finish the smaller colour first so it stops competing for lanes.

The names are read off the measured hex values shown beside each swatch, so they can differ from the name the game gives the same block.
- Which colour covers the most of the Level 462 board?
- Pink is the largest measured colour at 13.7% of the sample. That makes it the colour with the most pieces to route, so it is usually the one worth clearing early once its door is open.
- How much of the Level 462 board is empty?
- The dark board background covers 19.4% of the sample. It can include empty cells and mechanism panels, so read it as spare backing area rather than a count of free moves.
- Does the board image show the order to move the blocks?
- No. A still image shows the colours and their layout, but not the block queue or the order the game offers. The video on this page is the exact clear; the measured breakdown is what the board costs to clear, not a tap-by-tap order.
