Block Out Level 511 Walkthrough
Block Out Level 511 layers four counter rooms over an offset lower grid: drain the 11-count center first, preserve its shared corridor for the amber and orange reveals, and leave room for the purple four-count chamber's long late pieces.

How to Solve Block Out Level 511 — Full Solution
- Slide the exposed yellow and cyan groups out of the bottom-left pocket to their matching gates, then send the adjacent small green group through the green gate; this starts the central room's drop from 11 toward 7.
- Move the lower red square right to the red gate and clear the purple horizontal strip from the bottom row, opening a turn beneath the right-hand stack.
- Use that turn to send the right-side cyan bar to the cyan gate and the green corner group to the green gate; clear the next exposed lower pair until the central room reaches 3.
- Keep the vertical purple strip out of the two middle columns while the last lower cyan and green groups leave; the 11-count room then reaches zero and retracts.
- Route the revealed blue L and red groups from the left half to their matching side gates, followed by the right-hand green L and orange bar, without using the center as parking.
- Clear the narrow amber one-count room first and immediately send its newly exposed long piece to the matching edge gate, preserving the corridor for the orange room.
- Retract the orange one-count room next, then take its orange horizontal, blue, red, and green groups directly to their colored side or top gates.
- Reduce the purple four-count room after those reveals are clear; send its purple and pink vertical strips out before turning the cyan L through the center.
- Route the cyan L to the right-side cyan gate, followed by the remaining cyan horizontal bars, leaving the lower-right corner open for the last green group.
- Send the final pink vertical piece to the pink gate and the green corner group to the green gate, then confirm the empty-board completion state.
Colors in this level:
Yellow, Cyan, Green, Purple, Red, Orange, Blue, Pink
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Parking the tall pink strip in the center before the orange bar has crossed, which blocks both the bar and the blue L.
- Treating the first large-room retraction as completion even though three framed rooms still contain pieces.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 511 (quick clues)
- Keep the two central columns empty whenever a counter room is about to retract.
- Route each revealed long piece immediately if its matching gate is already open.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Yellow, cyan, green, purple, red, and orange groups fill an offset lower field beneath a purple 4-count room, an orange 1-count room, a large purple 11-count room, and a narrow amber 1-count room. Colored gates sit on both sides, the bottom edge, and the later-opened top edge.
- Goal
- Use lower-field exits to retract the 11-count room, clear the two one-count chambers as they expose new groups, and finally empty the purple four-count room plus every remaining long or L-shaped piece.
- Opening
- Slide the bottom-left yellow and cyan groups outward to their matching gates, send the neighboring green group to the green gate, then move the lower red square toward the right red gate and clear the purple strip from the bottom row.
- Danger Zone
- When the center room opens, a tall pink strip, an orange bar, and a blue L all need the same middle columns. Parking the pink strip there before the orange route is clear creates a three-piece jam.
- Mechanics
- Four framed counter rooms retract in a dependency chain; the large 11-count center supplies the working space and pieces needed to finish the one-count rooms and the late purple four-count room.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which counter room should open first in Block Out Level 511?
Drive the large central 11-count room to zero first. Its open area is the corridor needed to process the amber, orange, and purple chambers.
Why does the board jam after the central reveal?
The tall pink strip, orange bar, and blue L share the same middle columns. Clear the orange route before using those columns as temporary parking.
