How to Solve Block Out Level 397 — Full Solution
- Send the exposed red and purple groups through their floor gates and the plain green group through the left gate, leaving the green bar with its cyan inset in place.
- When those three clears retract the lower-left chamber, remove the newly exposed yellow and blue groups, then route the inset green/cyan bar left after its full lane opens.
- Reduce the paired right chambers and route the red and green L-shapes separately around the cyan divider.
- Move the cyan bar after its base lane opens, then clear bottom purple and red to finish the thin upper strip.
- From the wide top reveal, take the outlined red square, yellow bars, green L, and purple pieces before blue.
- Peel broad blue polyominoes from the left, roof, and right edges while preserving every floor exit.
- Remove the last yellow L and purple blocks from the central hole, then drain blue from outside inward.
- Finish the outlined cyan bar, red square, and final blue foot through their matching gates.
Colors in this level:
Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Cyan, Purple
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Crossing the center with the cyan bar while a colored L-shape is still trapped in the right lane.
- Stacking broad blue pieces along the floor and covering the red, purple, or cyan exits.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 397 (quick clues)
- Keep the tall cyan bar vertical until both right-side covers have released.
- Peel blue structures from the outside instead of parking them over the three floor gates.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Wide 11 and thin 11 covers span the top, with a three-count lower-left chamber and paired five-count right columns above a small exposed color pocket.
- Goal
- Open the lower-left and right covers first, separate the colored L-shapes around the cyan divider, then dismantle the late blue frame from its edges.
- Opening
- Send the exposed red and purple groups through the floor gates and the plain green group left to open the three-count chamber; keep the green bar with its cyan inset parked until that cover retracts.
- Danger Zone
- Moving the cyan divider across center before the paired right chambers open removes the turning space for the red and green L-shapes.
- Mechanics
- Five counter covers release nested shaped inventories; late chambers surround outlined colors with large interlocking blue polyominoes.
