How to Solve Block Out Level 428 — Full Solution
- Send the exposed yellow block through the left gate and clear the reachable cyan piece from the right edge.
- Remove upper red/green groups and purple/blue bars while keeping the large cyan L away from the waist.
- Finish the top chamber to reduce the four-count shutter to zero and expose the middle section.
- Clear new center cyan, green, purple, and red pieces from the outside inward, vacating the waist after each exit.
- Reduce the eight-count shutter to zero and inspect the revealed lower reservoir before moving any large block.
- Take outside green/purple groups and reachable cyan/blue bars through side and floor gates.
- Route the yellow L through the center and clear adjacent red/yellow pieces without parking the large red square in the waist.
- Remove remaining purple/blue blocks, then clear the oversized red square and final outlined cyan/blue shape.

Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A small multicolor top chamber sits above a four-count middle shutter and eight-count lower panel. The final reveal adds a large red square, yellow L, green/purple groups, and outlined cyan/blue shapes.
- Goal
- Open the 4- and 8-count panels in sequence, then clear the expanded hourglass without blocking its shared waist or late oversized shapes.
- Opening
- Take the upper-left yellow piece and right cyan group, then remove red, green, purple, and blue bars while holding the large cyan L away from the waist.
- Danger Zone
- A cyan L or purple bar across the neck stalls the next reveal; later, the red square can seal floor routes needed by the yellow L and final cyan shape.
- Mechanics
- Two sequential shutters turn a compact top board into a tall hourglass with connected outlines and an oversized late red square.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which panels open first in Block Out Level 428?
The narrow middle panel marked 4 opens first; the full-width lower panel marked 8 opens after the newly exposed center is cleared.
What should be saved for late in the solve?
Keep the oversized red square late so it does not block the yellow L or the long connected cyan/blue piece near the floor.
