Color Block Jam Checkpoint Before Using a Key
Use a short checkpoint before every important Color Block Jam key move so the key opens the intended route instead of creating a new deadlock.

What should the checkpoint answer?
Name the gate, the destination beyond it, and the color that will move next. If you cannot answer all three, the key is probably being used as a guess.
Why can early keys fail?
Opening a gate can change the board and consume a route needed by another color. The key move is only progress when the newly available path can be used safely.
What should happen after the key?
Pause and scan the changed lanes. Confirm the intended route before making a convenient move elsewhere.
