How to Solve Block Out Level 473 — Full Solution
- Send exposed top yellow groups out, then clear the nearest purple and green blocks from the upper corners.
- Remove outside blue and red verticals while preserving the lane beside the translucent cyan block marked 11.
- Alternate remaining green, cyan, red, and blue groups until the cyan number reaches zero and the 17-panel opens.
- Clear ordinary purple and yellow pieces from the reveal to create turning room for the outlined shapes.
- Route the upper purple/cyan hook, followed by the lower purple/cyan hook, through the bottom corridor by their full footprints.
- Slide the long red/cyan connected bar along the open bottom route before any large cyan block occupies that row.
- Remove late red columns and the yellow bar, then clear smaller cyan L-shapes and rectangles from the sides.
- Finish with the largest cyan groups from the upper and lower edges, ending with the small cyan rectangle at the left gate.
Colors in this level:
Red, Blue, Cyan, Green, Yellow, Purple
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Parking either purple/cyan hook in the bottom corridor instead of moving it through in one phase.
- Sending a large cyan rectangle downward before the red/cyan connected bar has left.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 473 (quick clues)
- Keep the central lane beside the cyan 11 open during the first phase.
- Clear all three outlined shapes before letting large cyan rectangles use the bottom corridor.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A compact multicolor upper field sits over an orange-framed chamber marked 17. A translucent cyan vertical marked 11 divides the center, and two slim right-side blocks carry red circular markers marked 2.
- Goal
- Reduce the opening counters, route three connected two-color shapes from the lower reveal, then clear the large cyan and red blocks in the final phase.
- Opening
- Take top yellow pieces, then exposed purple and green groups before removing outside blue and red verticals around the cyan numbered column.
- Danger Zone
- Any connected hook or long bar left across the bottom corridor blocks the other outlines and strands the later cyan mass above it.
- Mechanics
- A 17-count curtain and cyan number column lead to two purple/cyan hooks, one red/cyan connected bar, and a third phase dominated by large cyan blocks.
Frequently Asked Questions
What must leave first after the curtain opens in Block Out Level 473?
Clear ordinary purple and yellow pieces, then route both purple/cyan hooks and the long red/cyan bar before the cyan-heavy phase.
Why does the final cyan field jam?
A connected outline is usually still occupying the bottom corridor; all three outlines need to leave before the large cyan blocks descend.
