Brain Blow Level 2

Overview

Two columns of colored wires face each other across the board. On the left, four wire ends held by hands run blue, yellow, magenta, and red from top to bottom; on the right, the sockets are rearranged as red, blue, yellow, and magenta. The prompt asks you to connect the wires. This is a color-matching drag puzzle, so each left wire must be pulled to the socket of the same color on the opposite side. No wire changes color, and no socket accepts more than one line.

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Identify the four wire colors on the left column and record their top-to-bottom order: blue at the top, then yellow, then magenta, then red at the bottom. Keeping this order in your head prevents you from grabbing the wrong hand while you drag.

1. Check the right column and note where each colored socket sits: red at the top, blue second, yellow third, and magenta at the bottom. The two columns do not line up vertically, so reading the right side separately is essential.

1. Drag the blue left wire across to the blue socket, the second socket from the top on the right, and release once the two blue ends meet. A correct join usually settles into the socket without snapping back.

1. Drag the yellow left wire to the yellow socket, the third socket from the top on the right, and let it snap into place before starting the next connection.

1. Drag the magenta left wire down to the magenta socket at the bottom of the right column, making sure it does not cross over the already joined blue and yellow lines.

1. Finish by dragging the red left wire from the bottom of the left column up to the red socket at the top of the right column. The level completes when every color pair is joined and no loose hand remains on the left.

Strategy & Reasoning

The sockets are deliberately shuffled so that a straight horizontal connection would pair wrong colors. Matching by color is the only reliable rule; the vertical positions differ between the two columns, so you must read each socket individually instead of assuming left row one connects to right row one.

Working one color at a time keeps the wires untangled. Dragging several wires at once makes them cross and overlap, which hides which end belongs to which color. The red wire has the longest route because it starts at the bottom left and ends at the top right, but the color match still decides where it goes.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Do not connect wires by row position; the right column order is shuffled, so only color is a valid guide and left-top does not match right-top.
• Release a wire only when its end lines up with the socket of the same color; dropping it near a different color will not register and may pull the line back.
• If a wire will not join, check that you have not already used that socket for another color before retrying the connection, since each socket accepts one wire.
