Block Out level guide
Block Out Level 19 Walkthrough
Block Out Level 19 is a basement-first numeric board. Open the lower red, green, black, and white stack first, then flatten the giant `20/10` cyan carpet, and spend the yellow roof only after the middle has softened.
Board Notes
- Layout
- Blue-and-yellow bands cover the top, a broad field of cyan `20` and `10` slabs fills the middle, and a dense basement of red, green, black, and white blocks sits underneath. The lower-left counter starts at `24`, with side counters `8` and `12`.
- Goal
- Free the basement so the middle cyan field stops behaving like one solid layer.
- Opening
- Work the right side of the basement first instead of the cyan field above it.
- Danger Zone
- Trying to force the `20/10` carpet before the basement opens leaves the whole middle locked.
- Mechanics
- Level 19 is a hidden-foundation puzzle. The huge numbered middle is passive until the lower support stack moves.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 19 (spoiler-free)
- The basement is phase one.
- The giant cyan field only matters after the lower blockers have rotated.
- 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 19 — Full Solution
- Open the right side of the basement so the lower red and green pieces can start rotating.
- Peel away the black and white blockers that are pinning the cyan carpet from below.
- Leave the repeated `20/10` slabs mostly parked until the basement has become flatter.
- Once the lower stack opens, start flattening the cyan carpet from the middle outward.
- Let the top blue-and-yellow roof move only after the center slabs are no longer acting like one solid sheet.
- Use the side counters to finish off the remaining cyan values.
- End with the last yellow roof pieces and the bottom red gate.
Colors in this level:
Cyan, Blue, Yellow, Red, Green, Black, White
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Treating the middle cyan carpet as the opening problem.
- Leaving the basement stacked while trying to move the roof.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do the big cyan `20/10` blocks not move at first in Block Out Level 19?
Because the basement is still supporting them. Open the lower red, green, black, and white stack first.
What is the first real phase of Level 19?
Phase one is the basement. The roof and the middle field come after that.
