Brain Test 5 Level 86

Overview

This is a glass-smashing puzzle spread across three notebook pages. The page reads "Break all of the glasses." and shows a grid of shattered glass fragments in grey and pink tones, with a hammer lying on the bottom left and a pink paint bucket on the bottom right. The overall approach is to use the hammer to smash every remaining glass piece in the grid until none are left.

• Difficulty: Easy
• Estimated moves: 8

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Look at the grid of glass pieces. Some are already broken into shards, but there are still intact glass shapes scattered throughout. Your job is to smash every last piece.
2. Drag the hammer from the bottom left over to the first intact glass piece. Tap or drag the hammer onto each glass fragment. Each hit shatters the piece further.
3. Work systematically through the grid — top row to bottom row, left to right — so you do not miss any piece. The pink-colored glass pieces are just as important as the grey ones; both must be smashed.
4. If a piece is stubborn and does not break on the first hit, tap it again with the hammer. Some thicker glass shards take two hits.
5. The paint bucket on the right is a decoy or a secondary tool on another page. Do not use it to paint over the glass — that does not count as breaking it. Only the hammer smashes.
6. When every glass piece in the grid is completely shattered, a green checkmark appears in the center to confirm the level is complete.

Strategy & Reasoning

The puzzle is straightforward: smash all the glass. The hammer is the only tool that works. The paint bucket might seem useful if you think you can cover the glass, but the prompt says "break," not "paint over." You must physically shatter each piece.
The optimal strategy is to work row by row so you do not miss any fragments. The grid layout is irregular, so some pieces are tucked between others. Pay attention to small shards that are easy to overlook. Alternatives like using the paint bucket to cover the glass do not satisfy the prompt — the glass must be visibly broken, not hidden under paint.
On later rounds, the grid might be larger or have more colors of glass. The same rule applies: every piece must be smashed with the hammer, regardless of color. If you accidentally use the paint bucket, the level will not progress — you will need to undo that action and switch to the hammer. The hammer is the only correct tool for this entire level series.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Do not use the paint bucket; painting over the glass does not count as breaking it. Only the hammer works.
• Do not skip small glass shards; every piece in the grid must be smashed, no matter how tiny.
• Do not rush the hits; some pieces need two hammer strikes to fully shatter.
