  • This one's tricky, described as very precise, with everything interlocking. The board resembles an "X" or alien craft, with prongs and a dense center. Available dominoes: Multiple 5s, 6s, 1s, and mixes (full set: three 5/5, two 6/6, 1/1, 2/4, 3/3, 0/5, etc. exact inventory shown in-game). Bottom Prongs (Purple Sum-15): Place three vertical 5/5 dominoes, one in each prong arm. This locks in 15 pips (5+5+5) and frees your 6s for elsewhere. (Avoid 6/6+3/3; it bottlenecks blue.)
  • Blue Sum-17 (Top Arm): Use two horizontal 6/6 and one 5/6 spanning into a free neutral tile. Sum: 6+6+5=17. Rotate the 5/6 to align the 5 downward if needed.
  • Orange Sum-3 (Lower Center): This is the "stuck point" for many. Place a single horizontal 1/2 (1 in orange, 2 in adjacent free). You'll need exactly two 1-pip halves here—audit earlier placements; if you used a 1/1 prematurely in a prong, swap it out for a 0/1 from inventory.
  • Yellow Exact-4 (Side Arms): Fill with 4/4 verticals (two tiles). If short, borrow a 2/2 from frees, but confirm it doesn't violate >3 in pink.
  • Pink >0 (Core): All non-zero pips—easy filler with remaining 3/3 and 2/4 spans. Place 3/3 horizontally across the pink-yellow border.
  • Center Neutral Fills: Last tiles: 0/3 (0 in free, 3 in pink) and 5/0 (5 in blue spillover, 0 in free). This cleans up loose ends.
  • Verification: All regions sum/exact/match; zero tiles left over.
  • Time Estimate: 5-7 minutes with hints; it's designed to feel 'stuck' until the 1-pip realization.
