How should three colors be ranked?

Find the color whose exit or key changes access for the others. That color has the highest dependency priority, even if another color has a shorter visible route.

What should remain open?

Protect the lane shared by two destinations. Clearing one color is not progress if it permanently occupies the only route needed by the next color.

When should you change the order?

Change order when a gate, key, or moving path reveals new access. The correct order is a board-state decision, not a fixed rule for every level.
