Block Out Level 176 Walkthrough
Block Out Level 176 is a two-board relay: a lower rectangle with a central 8 feeds an upper purple chamber around a 40. Empty the lower field completely from right to left, then solve the multicolor ring that appears around the upper cyan center—never leave lower scraps behind for the upper phase.

How to Solve Block Out Level 176 — Full Solution
- Clear the green blocks along the lower board right edge.
- Remove the adjacent red wall, opening the right half of the lower field.
- Clear the cyan vertical group beside the central 8 marker.
- Work through the purple mass from the opened center toward the left edge.
- Remove the remaining red and cyan scraps so the lower rectangle becomes empty.
- When the upper chamber fills, clear the outer yellow and orange groups before touching the cyan center.
- Remove the green right column and the purple top and side groups around the ring.
- Reduce the exposed white edge counters while keeping the cyan central square accessible.
- Clear the blue lower-left section, then remove the pink lower-right group.
- Finish the cyan center and the last short top-edge pieces to empty the upper board.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Leaving pieces in the lower 8 field and trying to solve the upper 40 chamber early.
- Touching the upper cyan center before the outer yellow and orange ring groups leave.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 176 (quick clues)
- Solve the lower 8 field to empty before spending moves on the upper 40 ring—the relay only runs one direction.
- On the upper board, free the cyan center of the 40 chamber before trying to unwind the colored ring around it.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Two stacked rectangular boards. Upper: an empty purple chamber around a central 40. Lower: a large purple field with cyan, red, and green blocks, edge counters, a central 8, and colored exits on all sides. Later the upper chamber fills with a multicolor ring around a cyan core.
- Goal
- Clear the lower 8 field to activate the upper 40 chamber, drain the colored ring around its cyan center, and finish only after both boards are empty.
- Opening
- Remove the lower board right-side green and red groups, clear the cyan center column beside the 8, and work the purple mass from the opened center toward the left edge.
- Danger Zone
- Stranding the lower-left purple mass by clearing its bottom approach before the cyan center and red right wall leave. The upper chamber cannot be solved while lower pieces remain.
- Mechanics
- Two stacked boards activate in sequence: a lower 8 field feeds an upper 40 chamber that later reveals a colored ring around a cyan core.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Level 176 a relay instead of two parallel boards?
The lower rectangle with the central 8 feeds the upper purple chamber. Upper work before the lower field is empty just piles unfinished traffic into the handoff.
What freezes the upper 40 chamber?
Leaving cyan stuck in the chamber center while the ring still needs to rotate around it. Cyan is the hub; the ring cannot clear past a blocked hub.
