How to Solve Block Out Level 401 — Full Solution
- Raise the upper green-framed yellow bar, take the exposed purple bar through the right purple gate, and send the central green-framed bar left.
- Remove the red-framed purple bar and first solid yellow row through their matching exits, preserving the center-right lane.
- Shift the lower purple/yellow stack into the open left half and clear matching rows until the lower-right 3-count chamber retracts.
- Route the released small yellow block and the available red piece out, then alternate the remaining long rows between the two open halves.
- Reduce the upper-left chamber from 3 to zero, clear its captive piece, and reuse those cells to line up the last upper yellow bar.
- Clear the final purple bars from top to bottom, followed by the remaining yellow rows, and verify the PERFECT Level 401 result.
Colors in this level:
Purple, Green, Yellow, Red
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Parking a solid yellow row across the mid-right counter exit and trapping the purple rows underneath it.
- Filling the lower-right staging cells before its 3-count chamber releases the captive yellow block.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 401 (quick clues)
- Keep either the left or right half empty so a full purple/yellow row always has somewhere to transfer.
- Open the lower-right chamber before compressing the long rows into that corner.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A 1:30 rectangle has outer counters 6 at upper-left, 7 at upper-right, 11 at mid-right, and 3 at lower-right. Orange-and-silver chambers marked 3 hold a red piece at upper-left and a yellow piece at lower-right, while purple, green-framed yellow, red-framed purple, and solid yellow bars fill the center.
- Goal
- Count down the rim targets with matching exits, open both side chambers, clear their captive pieces, and finish every long purple and yellow row before time expires.
- Opening
- Lift the top green-framed yellow bar into the open row, clear the exposed purple bar to the right, then move the central green-framed bar left to open the middle transfer lane.
- Danger Zone
- A yellow bar parked across the middle-right lane blocks the purple exit and stops the lower stack rising; a crowded lower-right corner can also strand the yellow piece released from its 3-count chamber.
- Mechanics
- Two opposing 3-count chambers unlock captive pieces while three larger rim counters fall as the horizontal color groups exit.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should move first in Block Out Level 401?
Raise the top green-framed yellow bar, clear the exposed purple bar to the right, and then send the central green-framed bar left to create the shared transfer lane.
Why do the last rows keep getting stuck?
The long purple and yellow groups need the empty half of the board to swap sides; occupying both halves at once blocks their approach to the numbered edge exits.
