Block Out level guide
Block Out Level 17 Walkthrough
Block Out Level 17 is a framed-hinge numeric board. Trim the yellow roof first, unlock the green center frame second, and only then flatten the broad cyan slabs marked `19`, `18`, and `16`.
Board Notes
- Layout
- Yellow mini-blocks cover the top row, a framed green square sits in the center, and broad cyan slabs labeled `19`, `18`, and `16` layer the lower half. Blue, pink, red, and green bars surround the framed center, with a floor counter of `26`.
- Goal
- Open the central hinge so the upper roof and lower slab field can finally interact.
- Opening
- Trim the yellow roof and the upper-right side lane before you try to move the framed green square.
- Danger Zone
- Forcing the framed green square too early keeps the lower cyan slabs trapped under it.
- Mechanics
- Level 17 is a hinge puzzle where the framed center locks both the roof and the basement at once.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 17 (spoiler-free)
- The yellow roof loosens the hinge.
- The big cyan slabs move after the center frame, not before it.
- Think in chain clears. The best move is the one that sets up the next two moves, not just the quickest current match.
How to Solve Block Out Level 17 — Full Solution
- Shave the top yellow row and the upper-right side lane so the `16` counter begins to fall.
- Keep the framed green center locked until the upper counters have lost enough weight.
- Rotate the red and blue side bars into the middle once the top lane has opened.
- Use that new space to free the framed green square and stop it from pinning the lower cyan slabs.
- Flatten the `19` and `18` cyan slabs from the bottom upward.
- Clean up the last pink and blue side pieces after the center frame is gone.
- Finish the lower floor counter once the broad cyan layer has fully separated.
Colors in this level:
Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Pink, Red
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Trying to move the green hinge before the yellow roof is lighter.
- Treating the lower cyan carpet like the opening puzzle.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the key piece in Block Out Level 17?
The framed green center is the hinge. Once it opens, the roof and the lower slabs finally stop blocking each other.
Why do the big cyan blocks stay still at the start of Level 17?
Because the framed green square and the yellow roof are still locking them from above.
