How to Solve Block Out Level 156 — Full Solution
- Clear the exposed yellow piece through the left yellow gate and the purple piece through the opposite upper-side gate.
- Move the cyan horizontal shoulder piece toward the cyan exit to open the central pocket.
- Send the upper green pieces through the top green gates while the wide chamber still supports lateral movement.
- Route the right-side red piece through its red gate after the green lane opens.
- Clear the lower-left cyan piece before committing the long orange piece to the stem.
- Slide the long orange piece straight down the narrow stem and out through the orange bottom gate.
- Remove the final green and red scraps from the upper-right corner for the clear.
Colors in this level:
Green, Yellow, Purple, Cyan, Red, Orange, Blue
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Dropping orange into the stem before cyan clears the center, eliminating the only useful turning square.
- Leaving a green piece across the top row until late, when it can no longer align with a top gate.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 156 (quick clues)
- Protect the square at the top of the orange stem as a cyan/red turning cell—never drop orange into the stem while they still cross.
- Clear top green gates while the upper chamber is still wide; late green scraps lose alignment with those exits.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- T-shaped board with a broad upper chamber and narrow two-column stem. Green gates line the top; yellow and purple gates serve the upper sides; cyan and red exits sit lower on the side walls; an orange exit closes the foot. Cyan horizontal pieces bridge the shoulders around red, yellow, green, and orange polyominoes.
- Goal
- Empty the upper shoulders through their matching side and top gates, keep the center free for cross-traffic, and reserve the stem for the final orange route.
- Opening
- Remove the exposed yellow and purple shoulder pieces, then lift the cyan bridge away from the center before moving the long orange piece.
- Danger Zone
- Sending the long orange piece into the stem while red and cyan still cross the center blocks their only turning pocket.
- Mechanics
- A T-shaped board funnels four-sided upper traffic into a single-lane orange bottom finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the long orange piece trap the board if it leaves early?
Orange claims the only stem route. While red and cyan still need the stem-top square to turn, that early drop deletes their staging cell.
What makes the upper shoulders time-sensitive?
Four-gate upper traffic collapses into narrow side lanes as pieces leave. Green that lingers across the top row can no longer reach a top gate cleanly.
