How to Solve Block Out Level 424 — Full Solution
- Clear the exposed floor red row, then remove the reachable green and yellow groups from lower-left.
- Take the short blue/cyan pieces around the outlined yellow/cyan vertical and route that outlined piece through its open lane.
- Continue emptying the lower pocket until the 5-count shutter retracts and both upper counters fall.
- Clear the revealed lower-right green, cyan, purple, and blue groups from the outside edges.
- Reduce the 10-count upper-left panel to zero, exposing its yellow hook, red mass, and tall blue/cyan columns.
- Take the yellow hook, then clear the red and blue/cyan columns without leaving them beneath the 17-count panel.
- Remove the remaining lower purple/cyan groups and outlined cyan vertical until the 17-count shutter retracts.
- Clear the revealed outer green/yellow corners and side cyan bars to expose the nested center assembly.
- Move the long purple rail away from the right edge and route the smaller purple columns out around the cyan rectangle.
- Send the large outlined cyan rectangle toward the right cyan gate, then clear the final cyan L and bar through that side.
Colors in this level:
Green, Blue, Cyan, Red, Yellow, Purple
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Letting the red and blue columns from the first upper reveal settle across center before the 17-count chamber opens.
- Trying to move the cyan rectangle while a long purple rail still borders its right side.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 424 (quick clues)
- Open the 5-count lower panel before trying to manage either large upper reservoir.
- Empty center after the 10-count reveal; the last connected rectangle needs the width.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Orange-outlined purple panels marked 10 and 17 cover the upper board while a 5-count panel seals lower-right. A small lower-left pocket feeds numbered top/right gates plus yellow, red, green, and cyan edge exits.
- Goal
- Use the exposed pocket to open 5, then 10, then 17, and unwind the final outlined cyan rectangle and purple rails before the 1:44 HARD LEVEL timer expires.
- Opening
- Take the floor red row and exposed green/yellow groups, then clear the short blue/cyan pieces around the outlined yellow/cyan vertical.
- Danger Zone
- Long red and blue columns from the 10-count reveal can occupy center and leave the final cyan rectangle or purple rails without a full-width route.
- Mechanics
- Three independent shutters reveal successive reservoirs; the last chamber contains a cyan rectangular connected block nested within long purple connected rails.

Clear the exposed pocket to open 5 first, drain the 10-count upper-left reservoir next, and finish with the 17-count upper-right chamber.
What needs the most space at the end?
The large outlined cyan rectangle is nested inside purple rails and needs a clear center plus an open route to the right cyan gate.
