Block Out Level 342 Walkthrough
Block Out Level 342 wraps two timed layers around a fixed spiral wall. Peel the outer bars to remove the right-hand 6 chamber, keep the spiral elbow vacant, and route the late yellow and blue L pieces around opposite arms before the final red and yellow exits.

How to Solve Block Out Level 342 — Full Solution
- Push the large yellow block on the upper-left through the left yellow gate.
- Clear the exposed blue and red blocks down the left side, then remove the cyan cap from the top.
- Send the long green and purple bars above the spiral through their matching side gates.
- Remove the lower purple, cyan, red, blue, and green bars from the outside inward to reduce the right counters.
- Finish the pieces touching the square 6 chamber and open it to reveal the second field.
- Take the upper red bar, then clear the left and center green bars while the spiral elbow stays vacant.
- Route the purple and pink right-side bars out, followed by the cyan and red floor bars.
- Swing the yellow L piece around the spiral's upper arm and send it through the left yellow gate.
- Turn the blue L piece around the lower arm and take it through the lower-left blue gate.
- Remove the last horizontal red bar at the top, then slide the final yellow L piece through the left gate.
Colors in this level:
Yellow, Blue, Red, Cyan, Green, Purple, Pink
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Parking a straight bar in the spiral elbow and taking away the only turning cell for an L piece.
- Trying to move the L-shaped pieces before the right chamber and surrounding first-layer bars are gone.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 342 (quick clues)
- Clear the colored floor bars from the outside inward so the chamber's side counters can keep dropping.
- Reserve the spiral elbow for turning; no straight bar should finish a move there.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A 2:45 stepped rectangle surrounds a dark-purple spiral wall. The first layer includes a cyan cap below an 8 counter, yellow/red/blue left columns, green/purple/red cross-bars, colored floor bars, and a square purple chamber marked 6 beside four white counters on the right.
- Goal
- Empty the first layer and open the 6 chamber, then guide the revealed long bars and L-shaped pieces around the spiral to the red top, yellow left, blue lower-left, and colored right-side gates.
- Opening
- Take the large upper-left yellow block directly through its gate, clear the exposed blue/red left pieces, then remove the cyan cap and the green/purple bars above the spiral.
- Danger Zone
- The spiral has one usable inner elbow. Parking a long red or cyan bar there before the chamber opens prevents the late yellow and blue L pieces from making their turns.
- Mechanics
- A numbered chamber hides a second layer, while a fixed spiral obstacle forces two large L pieces onto opposite turning routes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the key space in Block Out Level 342?
The inner elbow of the fixed spiral. Both late L pieces need that cell to change direction, so it cannot be used as permanent parking.
When should the yellow and blue L pieces move?
After the 6 chamber disappears and the long second-layer bars have cleared. Yellow circles the upper arm; blue turns around the lower arm.
