How to Solve Block Out Level 488 — Full Solution
- Remove the top-left purple group, followed by the free green and red bars along the upper shelf.
- Take blue and pink verticals from the top-right while preserving the narrow bridge entrance.

- From the reveal, remove upper red, orange, cyan, and green groups already aligned with edge gates.
- Clear both blue right-arrow blocks and the orange arrow-marked pieces while the center remains wide.
- Drain middle cyan/red bars and purple/pink groups to open turns for the large L-shapes.
- Route the orange and yellow L-shapes through the bridge one at a time, followed by tall cyan bars.
- Finish with the large cyan squares and remaining pink/orange corner blocks through their edge gates.

Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- An upper shelf and lower basin connect through a narrow right bridge beside a chamber marked 7. Purple, blue, pink, green, red, and orange groups crowd the opening, with a separate pink block below.
- Goal
- Open the 7-panel, clear visible arrow-marked blocks from the expanded field, and route large cyan, orange, yellow, and pink shapes through the stepped board.
- Opening
- Remove top-left purple, then exposed green/red bars and upper blue/pink verticals before clearing the long orange strip.
- Danger Zone
- A vertical orange or cyan bar at the right bridge mouth isolates the upper shelf from the lower basin and blocks the marked pieces.
- Mechanics
- A chamber reveal expands the board and introduces blue right-arrow blocks, orange arrow-marked pieces, large cyan squares, and several long L-shapes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the critical space in Block Out Level 488?
The narrow right bridge must remain open because every second-wave marked block and large L-shape depends on it.
Which pieces should move first after the chamber opens?
Clear edge-aligned ordinary groups, then the blue and orange arrow-marked pieces before the large orange and yellow L-shapes.
