Plan your approach to Level 1535
Configuration 1 · Targets, tray management, and time-saving decisions
Your collection plan
Level 1535, Configuration 1 has a 1:45 time limit. Your targets are Text A × 9; Text O × 12; Casette Tape Red × 9. There are 159 objects on the board: 30 targets and 129 non-targets. Targets account for 19% of the starting objects.
Which items to distinguish
The item names also share color labels in these pairs: Casette Tape Red and Candy Cane Red. Use the icon's outline as well as its color. These are recognition checks based on item names, rather than a claim that every pair looks equally similar on the board.
Where to focus your opening
You have 3 target types to track. Start with a complete exposed triple, then rescan the surface. Choose the type whose third match you can already identify, instead of opening unfinished sets across Text A, Text O, Casette Tape Red at the same time.
Non-targets make up 81% of this configuration (129 objects). When targets are obscured, look for finishable non-target triples that reveal them. Keep each removal purposeful: a single non-target occupies tray space without completing a set. The counts indicate a large distraction pool, but do not establish where any object is hidden.
How to use the time limit
The 30 target objects require 10 target triples. Dividing the 105-second limit by those triples gives 10.5 seconds per target triple if all time were spent on targets. This is a planning allowance, not a measured completion time; searching and clearing non-targets also use that same clock.
Use short scans rather than long searches for a preferred target. Complete visible sets, then narrow the next scan to types already waiting in your tray. As the clock runs down, use the remaining goal counters to decide which shapes still deserve attention.
