Level 47 is a short, sequencing-based level: you have 2 minutes to unlock 1 ice block and 1 chain. The board isn’t hard because of one “trick”—it’s hard because one wrong slide order wastes time and blocks your key pieces. Use the route below to keep the board open and unlock both objectives smoothly.

Level 47 targets

  • Time limit: ~2 minutes
  • Objectives: unlock 1 ice block + unlock 1 chain
  • Win condition: slide key blocks in the right order to open the locked area

Unlock rules (what matters)

  • Ice block unlock: after you slide 3 required blocks (per your original notes).
  • Chain unlock: after you slide 3 key blocks (per your original notes).
  • Practical rule: prioritize moves that increase space AND progress toward unlocks.

Step-by-step route

Step 1 — Slide out the yellow block (easy space)

Start by sliding the yellow block out. It’s the easiest early move and creates space for the key-block setup.

Slide out the yellow block first to open lanes.

Step 2 — Create space for the purple key block

Next, reposition surrounding blocks to make room for the purple key block. Don’t force it—your goal is to open a clean lane so it can slide without jamming.

Shift pieces to create a lane for the purple key block.

Step 3 — Complete the yellow sequence (follow the marked order)

Follow the slide order indicated in your reference image (the 1 → 2 → 3 sequence). This sets up the board so the purple key becomes a clean move instead of a trap.

Use the 1 → 2 → 3 slide order to prevent jams.

Step 4 — Slide out the purple key block (unlock progress)

After the yellow setup is done, sliding the purple key block becomes straightforward. This is a major unlock-progress step—take it as soon as the lane is open.

Once the lane exists, slide the purple key block immediately.

Step 5 — Unlock the ice block (then free the green key)

After enough required slides, the ice block unlocks. At this point, the green key block usually becomes much easier to move. Prioritize it if it increases board space and finishes the unlock requirement.

Tip
When ice unlocks, don’t rush random slides—use the new space to finish your key-block sequence cleanly.

Step 6 — Unlock the chain and finish

With the remaining key blocks moved into position, the chain unlocks. Once both objectives are open, the remaining board is typically a simple clean-up.

Common mistakes (why players fail)

  • Delaying the early yellow slide and losing space for key blocks.
  • Moving the purple key block too early (before a clean lane exists), causing a jam.
  • Ignoring the marked slide order and creating a deadlock.
  • Over-sliding small pieces after ice unlocks instead of finishing the key sequence.

FAQ

  • Is Level 47 mainly about speed? → It’s mostly about sequence. If you slide in the right order, the time limit is generous.
  • What should I prioritize first? → Space first (yellow), then key lanes (purple), then finish unlock requirements cleanly.
  • What if I keep jamming the key block? → You’re probably moving it before the lane is fully open. Reset, then follow the marked 1→2→3 setup sequence.
