Block Out Level 461 Walkthrough
Level 461 layers four counter chambers around a stepped center: clear the exposed upper colors, then send three revealed key blocks through their own gates to reduce a pink lock from 3 to 0 before the late finish.

How to Solve Block Out Level 461 — Full Solution
- Send the exposed upper green group through the right green gate, then remove the reachable red blocks from the top-right pack.
- Move cyan upward and clear the upper purple group through the purple gate to reduce the narrow top counters.
- Take the accessible pink and yellow bars, leaving both large yellow L shapes outside the shared elbow while the upper red stack still occupies its route.
- Pull the exposed slim red vertical from the right across the open row and through the left red gate while the upper cross-panel falls to 1; the pink lock remains closed.
- Lift the mid-left cyan horizontal to the top cyan gate at about 1:14, then move the long lower-left purple strip toward the top purple gate as the bottom chamber reaches 4.
- Slide the central yellow horizontal toward the lower-right yellow exit, then remove the red horizontal uncovered beneath it instead of parking either in the elbow.
- Turn the upper yellow L through the right stair after the tall red column leaves, keeping its trailing foot clear of the pink gate lane.
- Carry the long lower-left cyan bar across the bottom lane and through the cyan edge gate, reducing the last chamber from 4 through 2 and 1 until it retracts near 0:57.
- From the opened bottom pocket, send the blue/cyan key-marked horizontal upward through the top cyan/blue gate at about 0:54, reducing the pink lock from 3 to 2.
- Route the purple key-marked block through the top purple gate at about 0:52 so the lock falls from 2 to 1; it is still locked at 0:51.
- Carry the red key-marked vertical through the left red gate at about 0:50-0:48, reducing the lock from 1 to 0 and freeing the pink strip by about 0:47.
- Clear the unlocked pink strip through the right pink gate, then remove the remaining exposed red and purple bars from the center.
- Route the lower yellow L and short yellow bar toward the lower-right yellow gate, then slide the green L across the empty bottom row to the right green gate.
- Take the remaining pink L and pink bar through the right pink gate to empty the stepped board.
Colors in this level:
Red, Pink, Purple, Cyan, Green, Yellow
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Parking a yellow L across the central elbow before the red stack leaves, which cuts off the lower counter chambers.
- Treating the lock as a movable pink key pair instead of clearing the blue/cyan, purple, and red key-marked blocks through three separate gates.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 461 (quick clues)
- Keep the stepped elbow empty until the upper red stack is gone and all three key blocks have reached their own gates.
- When a counter opens, clear its nearest side-gate colors before bringing another large shape into the center.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A stepped board surrounds orange-outlined chambers marked 5, 3, 14, and 18. Red, pink, purple, cyan, green, and yellow groups occupy the exposed upper-right field; two yellow L shapes crowd the center beside a pink strip padlocked at 3.
- Goal
- Reduce every chamber counter, clear the revealed blue/cyan, purple, and red key blocks through their own gates to unlock the pink strip, then finish without sealing the stepped junction.
- Opening
- Clear upper green and red first, then send cyan and purple upward so the narrow top counters retract and the center gains horizontal room.
- Danger Zone
- Moving either yellow L into the elbow while the upper red stack or padlocked pink strip remains blocks the later blue/cyan, purple, and red key routes from the lower chamber.
- Mechanics
- Four counter panels reveal color groups in stages; three lower key-marked blocks must exit through matching gates to reduce the pink padlock from 3 to 2 to 1 to 0.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I clear first in Block Out Level 461?
Start with the exposed upper green and red groups, then take cyan and purple upward; those exits open the counters and preserve routes for the yellow L shapes and later key blocks.
Why do the yellow L shapes keep getting stuck?
They share one stepped elbow with the red stack and the strip padlocked at 3. Do not commit either L until the red stack is gone and all three key blocks have reduced that lock to 0.
