How to Solve Block Out Level 163 — Full Solution
- Clear the cyan group across the upper-left, then remove the orange row directly beneath it.
- Send the exposed green band out of the top chamber.
- Reduce the red numbered groups on the upper-right while the chamber remains open.
- Clear the cyan bar through the upper middle and move the adjacent blue group away from the bend.
- Remove the orange vertical block at the inside corner to connect the chamber to the stem.
- Drain the green and yellow groups from the middle-right pocket through their matching exits.
- Work down the right rail, clearing red numbered groups before moving the purple block beside them.
- Send the long blue group through the right-side blue gate once the shaft opens.
- Clear the lower red and orange groups from the stepped stem without parking in its vertical lane.
- Remove the bottom yellow group, then finish with the remaining cyan and purple pieces.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Blocking the inside bend with red before the orange divider has cleared.
- Leaving the numbered right rail until only the narrow stem remains available for turning.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 163 (quick clues)
- Keep red out of the inside bend until the orange divider has cleared that corner.
- Spend the numbered right-rail clears while the top chamber is still broad—the narrow stem is too tight for those turns later.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Tall hook-shaped board with a broad top chamber, narrow right shaft, and stepped bottom stem. Cyan, orange, green, red, yellow, blue, and purple groups fill it; numbered white and red cells line the right rail.
- Goal
- Open the top chamber, clear the numbered right rail, and preserve the one-cell connector long enough to drain the shaft and stem.
- Opening
- Remove the upper-left cyan group, the orange row beneath it, and then the newly exposed green band.
- Danger Zone
- Moving a red block into the inside bend before the orange divider leaves traps the lower blue and yellow groups in the stem.
- Mechanics
- Asymmetric hook geometry, a one-cell connector, multiple side-numbered groups, and colored exits along the side and bottom edges.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the stem trap blue and yellow in Level 163?
A red block in the inside bend before orange leaves seals the only corner that lets stem colors climb back toward open space.
Why clear the numbered right rail early?
Those pieces need the wide top chamber as turning room. After the board drains into the stepped stem, they no longer fit clean rotations.
