How to Solve Block Out Level 169 — Full Solution
- Remove the exposed blue and cyan pieces from the right edge, then clear the green block at the top step.
- Peel the yellow staircase from its upper step downward, preserving the empty bend beside the small upper-right room.
- Open that upper-right room and route its red and blue pieces into the cleared staircase lanes.
- Trigger the upper-left chamber only after the small room has drained through the right corridor.
- Clear the upper-left chamber's red horizontal bar, followed by its green bar, to expose the lower-left cover.
- Open the lower-left chamber and remove its outside red/blue pieces before moving either large L.
- Shift the cyan L left through the lower bend, leaving the vertical part of the corridor empty.
- Lower the yellow L through that bend, then route the final red and blue pieces out along the right staircase.
Colors in this level:

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Opening the left chambers while the right staircase is still packed.
- Lowering the yellow L before cyan clears the bend.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 169 (quick clues)
- Pack the right staircase empty before opening left chambers—otherwise releases hit a clogged corridor.
- Shift the cyan L left before lowering yellow; yellow first blocks the only turn beside the lower chamber.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why sequence the three chambers instead of opening them together?
They all feed one stepped right corridor. Parallel opens create opposing traffic with no second lane.
What traps the yellow L at the lower bend?
Lowering it while cyan still owns the turn cell. Cyan must vacate left first so yellow has a rotation square.
