How to Solve Block Out Level 498 — Full Solution
- Send the top purple horizontal through the purple exit, followed by the tall purple bar directly beneath it.
- Slide the upper blue horizontal into the freed lane, then remove the orange square and small yellow square from the bend.
- Shift the tall yellow vertical rightward and move the large green L up/left only after the lower blue blocks have room.
- Clear the remaining blue, green, purple, and yellow starter pieces until the right 5-shutter reaches zero.
- Take the revealed top orange bar and right-edge blue/yellow groups, then release the framed blue block near the top lane.
- Move the central red vertical and framed green square before sending the long cyan horizontal across center to the right exit.
- Clear the remaining red, green, blue, pink, and yellow groups above the lower chamber until the 11-shutter opens.
- From the bottom reveal, take bottom-edge cyan/pink/orange groups and the framed cyan horizontal spanning the lower middle.
- Route the orange stair/hook through the right side, then remove yellow verticals and pink/purple steps from the blue hook's inside corner.
- Bring the large blue hook from lower left through center and down through the bottom blue exit.
- Finish with the top blue slabs, small framed blue square at right, and final blue vertical through the bottom exit.

Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A purple/blue/orange/yellow/green L-shaped rim surrounds shutters 5 and 11. Perimeter counters begin at left 3/19, right 6/7/22, and bottom 14/27; later reveals add framed blue, green, red, cyan, and orange pieces.
- Goal
- Open the right 5-shutter before the bottom 11-shutter, clear each reveal's framed traffic, then route the large blue hook and remaining blue slabs/square/vertical through the right and bottom exits.
- Opening
- Send the top purple horizontal and tall purple bar upward, shift the blue horizontal into their lane, and clear the orange/yellow bend before moving the green L.
- Danger Zone
- The green L can pin the starter blue bars; later, the cyan horizontal, orange hook, and blue hook compete for the same lower-middle crossing.
- Mechanics
- Two sequential shutters turn an L-shaped rim into a full board. The first reveal contains framed center traffic; the second ends with several distinct large blue footprints.
