Block Out Level 177 Walkthrough
Block Out Level 177 is a bottle-neck routing puzzle: a narrow neck and shoulder sit above a broad base of large yellow and blue rectangles. Open the neck, keep the one-cell throat free of long bars, alternate the red and green traffic through that throat, and only then shrink the large base blocks from their exposed edges.

Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Bottle-shaped board with a small top mechanism above cyan and green neck blocks, purple across the shoulder, and a broad base holding large yellow and blue rectangles, red and green bars, and pink or yellow side exits.
- Goal
- Open the neck, widen the shoulder, alternate long bars through the throat, then drain the large base rectangles without sealing the only vertical route between base and neck.
- Opening
- Clear the small cyan neck block, then the green block beside it, and remove the exposed purple shoulder piece to open the bottle central throat.
- Danger Zone
- A long green or red bar parked across the shoulder blocks the only route from the base to the neck. Every remaining base piece depends on that one-cell throat.
- Mechanics
- Bottle geometry forces every upper and lower group through one narrow throat while two large rectangular blocks consume most of the base.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the lower stem get stuck in Block Out Level 177?
Usually a long bar is parked across the shoulder, blocking the only throat between the broad base and the narrow neck.
When are the large base rectangles actually safe to move?
After red and green bars have used the throat and the yellow top edge is free. Early base moves fight neck traffic head-on.
