Try a hint before opening the full solution
These are original Crafty Puzzles strategy hints based on the documented objective and mechanism; they do not reproduce the manufacturer’s step-by-step solution.
Hint 1
Track one colour at a time and note which layer rotations actually change that ball’s available path.
Hint 2
Use small tilts so only the intended sphere moves; large movements can undo progress in several columns at once.
Hint 3
Before committing to the final columns, check whether the remaining colours still have a route through the layers—solving one column too early can block another.
