Game Is Hard Level 218 Breakdown
What You See
A 5×5 grid holds a mix of orange shapes: four circles, two triangles, and one square. The instruction reads “corner it with the majority.” Shapes can be dragged from cell to cell, leaving the original cell empty.
The circles are the clear majority (four of them), and the single square is the unique minority. “Corner it” doesn’t mean the grid’s literal corners — it means surround the square from its four sides with circles.
Why You're Stuck
I read “corner it” and kept trying to move shapes into the literal corners of the grid, especially the top-left triangle. Nothing worked, because the target isn’t a corner of the grid — it’s the central square.
The solution is a cross: the square goes in the center, and the four circles go immediately above, below, left, and right of it. Once that arrangement is formed, the grid flashes green automatically — no button, no final tap.
The Answer
Move the lone square to the center cell of the 5×5 grid. Then drag the four circles so they sit directly above, below, left, and right of the square, surrounding it on all four cardinal sides. The grid flashes green to confirm.
How to Beat It
- Identify the pieces. The square is the unique minority (“it”), and the circles are the majority.
- Center the square. Drag the square into the middle cell of the grid.
- Place the circles. Drag each of the four circles to the cell immediately above, below, left, and right of the center.
- Confirm. The cross arrangement triggers automatically — the grid flashes green.
Troubleshooting
- Tried to use the grid corners: “corner it” means surround, not use the literal corners. The square goes in the center, circles on its four sides.
- Circles in the wrong spots: they must be exactly above, below, left, and right of the center square — not diagonal.
- Tapped after arranging: no tap is needed. Once the cross is formed, the level completes on its own.
Why It Works
The level hinges on two word interpretations: “majority” is the most numerous shape (circles, with four), and “corner it” is figurative — it means enclose the target, not use the grid’s corners. The lone square is the natural “it” because it’s unique. The solution is a geometric cross with the square at the center and circles on its four cardinal sides. Completion is state-based: the arrangement itself triggers the win.
The Rule to Carry Forward
In a “surround with the majority” grid puzzle, count the shapes to find the majority, identify the unique minority as the target, center it, and place the majority on its four cardinal sides.
- “Majority” = the most numerous shape type.
- “Corner it” can mean surround, not use literal corners.
- A cross (center + four cardinal neighbors) often auto-completes.
Center the square first, then drop the four circles at its four sides — no diagonals.
Moving shapes to the grid’s literal corners. Center the square and surround it with circles on four sides.
