Congratulations on making it to the extra puzzles! How can you tell? Well not much indicates it, but the background of the puzzle selection screen will be a dark blue. That's it, except for obviously the puzzles themselves being different.

Remember, the bottom row is r1 and the left column is c1.

Puzzle E1-1

Moves required: 3

This one's got two solutions, and both are the type where everything clears when it's on the ground.

Solution

Solution 1 (move 1 can happen anytime):

  1. Move the bottom left green to the left. (r1,c12)
  2. Move the right green to the right. (r1,c56)
  3. Switch the right red to the left. (r1,c45)

Solution 2 (again, move 1 can happen anytime):

  1. Move the bottom left green to the left. (r1,c12)
  2. Switch the right red with its green neighbor. (r2,c45)
  3. Move either of the right greens to the right. (r1,c56) or (r2,c56)

Puzzle E1-2

Ooh, I know this one, right? No, that's not it. You don't have to clear 6 panels in one chunk.

Solution
  1. In the column with 4 light blues, move either of the middle ones to the left. (r3,c34) or (r4,c34)
  2. Switch the right red to the left. (r2,c34)

  2. Move the middle green to the right. (r3,c45)

Puzzle E1-5

Puzzle E1-5

Moves required: 2

If you got close, then maybe try starting off the clears on a different color.

Solution
  1. Move the right blue to the right. (r1,c56)
  2. Switch the bottom right purple to the left. (r1,c45)

Puzzle E1-6

Puzzle E1-6

Good old column thinking still helps a lot. Start with the color that needs the most help!

Solution

In any order,

  1. Switch the left yellow to the right. (r1,c23)
  2. Switch the bottom right yellow to the left. (r1,c45)
  3. Switch the middle blue to the right. (r2,c45)

Puzzle E1-7

Puzzle E1-7

Moves required: 2

Pick the final setup for the purples correctly, and it becomes a cinch.

Solution

In either order,

  1. Switch the bottom red to the right. (r1,c34)
  2. Move the middle red to the left. (r3,c23)

Puzzle E1-8

Puzzle E1-8

Moves required: 2

Symmetry is not always a good thing.

Solution

Reversing this only works if you make move 1 before the first set finishes clearing.

  1. Switch the top red to the right. (r6,c34)
  2. Switch the blue in the middle column to the right. (r3,c34)

Puzzle E1-9

Puzzle E1-9

Moves required: 3

So many purples! If you don't come up with the right setup, maybe concentrate on an easier color.

Solution

Solution 1, the first two moves are reversible (you will have to use the row 2 blue for move 1). Holding off on move 2 until after move 3 is actually possible if you're pretty quick, due to purple having to clear 6 while green only has to clear 3:

  1. Switch either of the bottom 2 blues with the empty space to its left. (r1,c12) or (r2,c12)
  2. Switch the bottom green with its blue neighbor. (r1,c23)
  3. Switch the top green panel to the left. (r3,c23)

Solution 2:

  1. Move either of the bottom 2 blues to the left. (r1,c12) or (r2,c12)
  2. Switch the middle green to the right. (r2,c23)
  3. After things are done clearing, switch the blue and purple tiles. (r1,c23)

Solution 3:

  1. Switch the top blue with its purple neighbor. (r5,c23)
  2. Move either of the bottom 2 blues to the left. (r1,c12) or (r2,c12)
  3. Switch the middle green to the right. (r2,c23)

Puzzle E1-10

Puzzle E1-10
