🧩 Level Info

• Level Number: 209
• Question: Put the Same Color on the Plate
• Difficulty: Normal

🎯 Objective

Clear the level by putting the "same color" into the plate as per the instructions.

📝 Solution Steps

1. First, observe the plate roughly in the center of the screen and the colored objects (balls or items) around it.
2. At first glance, it seems like there are matching color combinations among the colorful objects around, but if you look closely, the shades slightly differ, and no completely matching color pairs exist.
3. This level's key point is not to "put same-colored items on the plate" but to place the very phrase "same color" onto the plate.
4. Try to long-press and drag the phrase "same color" (or the characters for "color") from the question "Put the same color on the plate" displayed at the top of the screen.
5. If you can drag it, move the "same color" (or "color") text to the center of the plate and release your finger to drop it in.
6. When the text lands in the plate, you'll meet the conditions to clear the level.

💡 Hints

• No matter how you move the colored objects around, you will not be able to make a perfectly matching color set.
• The only thing in the screen that is truly the "same color" might be the "text" rather than the items.
• Try interacting with the question text. Drag the "same color" or "color" text into the plate and see what happens.

🧠 Analysis & Tips

This stage is a kind of riddle puzzle that exploits the player's tendency to be fixated on 'gathering same-colored items'. Several colored objects are placed around the plate, which at first glance seem to have matching pairs. However, slight differences in shades prevent the formation of exact color pairs. The key to solving lies in shifting the mindset from 'maybe this instruction pertains to text, not items' due to the incongruity. Frequent Brain Test trick involves meta elements like 'moving words of the problem statement' and 'interpreting instructions literally'. The answer to the prompt 'Put the same color on the plate' is exactly that, not putting 'same-colored items' but rather placing the phrase 'same color'. Once realizing texts can be moved like objects, the solution clicks, but without intuiting that UI parts are movable, one might expend time in color matching trial and error.

🔍 Common Mistakes

• Endlessly trying to form matching color sets by placing several colored objects on the plate.
• Attempting to create new colors by stacking colored objects or expecting them to mix forcibly.
• Dragging the plate itself to collect same colored objects across.
• Thinking you can clear the level by altering screen brightness or settings to make colors appear the same.
• Not considering the text can be moved, never tapping/dragging the 'same color' phrase from the problem statement.

🎉 Post-Clear Advice

If you figured out the meta trick of moving text, you can expand your thinking in upcoming stages by considering 'UI or instructions could also be objects'. Similarly, puzzles that reinterpret instructions in a different sense continue, so try with the assumption everything on the screen can move.
