Block Out level guide
Block Out Level 117 Walkthrough
Block Out Level 117 uses a house-shaped purple frame with a dotted lower grid, side `13` rails, and external `4` feed panels on the left and bottom. The house frame has its own packing order: the arch must stay open until the external panels have delivered their blocks. Pack the arch too early and the last yellow feed bar has nowhere to go, boxing in the side rails permanently.

How to Solve Block Out Level 117 — Full Solution
- Remove the upper green `2` tile and the blue `4` block from the top cluster.
- Peel the left `13` side rail without blocking the dotted lower zone.
- Feed pieces through the left cyan `4` panel to open the house frame.
- Route the right red-arrow and blue-arrow sliders once the upper orange/green row thins.
- Place the lower yellow circle (`9`, then `6`) into the dotted grid without overfilling the arch.
- Spend the bottom yellow bar and right cyan `4` counter to close the remaining side rails at `10`.
Colors in this level:
Green, Blue, Red, Orange, Yellow, Cyan, Purple
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Overfilling the arch before the right arrow sliders clear — this boxes in the red-arrow lane.
- Placing the lower numbered circle too early while the left `13` rail is still full.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 117 (spoiler-free)
- Park the numbered circle in the dotted grid only after the right arrow sliders have a clear lane.
- The left `13` rail must thin before the left cyan `4` panel can feed the arch.
- Think in chain clears. The best move is the one that sets up the next two moves, not just the quickest current match.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- House-shaped purple frame. Upper cluster: green `2` on top, blue `4` beside it, mixed red/orange/yellow/cyan bricks below. Lower zone: dotted grid with yellow circle `9`. Side rails: `13` on both edges. Left panel: cyan `4`. Bottom: yellow bar with cyan `4`. Right: red and blue arrow sliders.
- Goal
- The upper cluster must thin before the lower dotted zone can accept the numbered circle piece. The left `4` panel and right arrow sliders are the feed routes.
- Opening
- Remove the upper green `2` and blue `4` tiles first, then peel the left `13` rail without blocking the dotted lower panel.
- Danger Zone
- Around 02:27 the house frame is nearly full while the left `4` panel and bottom yellow bar still show unused feeds. Packing the arch too early boxes in the right red-arrow slider.
- Mechanics
- House-frame packing puzzle with a dotted lower grid, side `13` rails, and external `4` feed panels on the left and bottom.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the dotted lower grid for in Block Out Level 117?
It holds the numbered circle piece. The upper cluster must thin and the side feeds must open before that zone can be used safely.
Which feed panel should open first?
The left cyan `4` panel. The right arrow sliders come second, after the upper orange/green row thins.
