How to Solve Block Out Level 170 — Full Solution
- Send the short cyan bar through the top cyan gate, then remove the adjacent red top bar.
- Clear the exposed purple pieces from the upper-left edge and green pieces from the upper-right edge.
- Remove the remaining blue/red shoulder blocks so the large yellow rectangle has a straight vertical lane.
- Lower the yellow rectangle through the opened center and route it out before working in the neck.
- Clear the outside green L from the lower-left, preserving the small center pocket.
- Move the yellow lower L away from the right bend to expose the cyan route.
- Drop the cyan L through the center pocket before rotating the red L inward.
- Route the red L through the cleared neck, then remove the final green and blue pieces for completion.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Frequently Asked Questions
Why clear the broad head before fighting the neck?
The head is where edge gates still have room. Once traffic is forced into the interlocking L neck, every mistake is harder to unwind.
What freezes the lower neck permanently?
Turning the red L while cyan still occupies the center pocket. Both shapes need that cell and neither can yield mid-turn.
