How does a Chain ×2 gate open?

One placement must cause two separate clears. The first clear can expose a lower color; if it joins enough matching layers, that same move clears again.

Tap an occupied stack to inspect its top and next color. This explains the layers without choosing a landing hex for you.

Coordinate the delayed left pocket with the two central sequence locks. The left pocket at -2,0 opens at 20 score. The center at 0,0 needs 20 score followed by a two-clear chain; 2,0 needs yellow followed by 40 score. Keep the fragile cell at -1,-1 available until another route can take over.
