Block Out level guide
Block Out Level 521 Walkthrough
Block Out Level 521 opens a green 1-count reservoir before a purple 5-count reservoir, then routes two yellow/cyan hooks, a green/blue bar, and a blue/cyan stepped outline through one center.

How to Solve Block Out Level 521 — Full Solution
- Push the exposed blue vertical at top-center up, then remove the yellow stack immediately to its left.
- Clear the green group below the top green gate and the pink group beside the right magenta gate; the left green 1-count reservoir retracts.
- From the new lower-left pocket, take the loose red and blue pieces off the left side, then clear the cyan piece toward the bottom-center cyan gate without covering the red-framed cells.
- Continue clearing purple and green from the opened pocket until the right purple reservoir counts from 5 to 0 and retracts.
- Move the green/blue horizontal bar out of the upper-middle first; do not leave it spanning the center columns.
- Shift the upper yellow/cyan hook from the right into the cleared middle, turn its cyan leg downward, and route the whole outline toward the bottom-center cyan lane.
- Pull the large blue/cyan stepped outline out of the lower-left reveal and rotate it through the same middle after the upper hook vacates those cells.
- Move the lower yellow/cyan hook from lower-middle toward the lower-left opening, then clear the purple group exposed behind it.
- Remove the cyan group at the bottom gate and yellow group at the lower-left gate to open the lanes around the tall yellow frame and left red frames.
- Clear the framed cyan/yellow units and yellow bars, then take the long red horizontal and final left red-framed structure.
Colors in this level:
Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Pink, Purple, Cyan
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using the center as storage while four different connected outlines still need the same turning cells.
- Starting the tall yellow or left red frames before the bottom cyan and lower-left yellow gate lanes are open.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 521 (quick clues)
- Move the upper-middle green/blue bar before turning the upper yellow/cyan hook through the center.
- Keep the bottom-center cyan approach clear until both hooks and the blue/cyan stepped outline have passed.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A stepped upper field sits above a green 1-count reservoir at left and purple 5-count reservoir at right. Green, magenta, yellow, and cyan edge gates surround red-framed left cells and late connected outlines.
- Goal
- Open the green reservoir, drain the purple reservoir from 5 to 0, and keep the center plus bottom cyan approach open for each named connected footprint.
- Opening
- Push the top-center blue vertical upward, remove its left yellow stack, then clear the green group under the top gate and pink group beside the right magenta gate.
- Danger Zone
- The upper and lower yellow/cyan hooks, green/blue horizontal bar, and blue/cyan stepped outline all cross the same middle cells; parking one there blocks the next and the bottom cyan lane.
- Mechanics
- A 1-count and 5-count reservoir open sequentially before four connected outlines and persistent red/yellow framed cells reuse a stepped turn.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which reservoir opens first in Level 521?
The green 1-count reservoir opens first; the purple reservoir starts at 5 and retracts after the lower-left clears.
What moves before the upper yellow/cyan hook?
Move the green/blue horizontal bar out of upper-middle first so the hook can turn through the center.
