How to Solve Block Out Level 524 — Full Solution
- Clear the short cyan piece beside the left gate and green piece beside the right gate, then remove the accessible red bars from the middle.
- Use those exits to reduce the cyan 4 restraint and both orange 2 locks; remove each newly freed cyan/orange cell without occupying the bottom-center turning area.
- Continue with loose yellow, red, purple, and green pieces until the purple reservoir falls from 6 through 1 and retracts.
- In the revealed layer, take the blue L from upper-right, then clear the green horizontal pieces across the upper half.
- Remove the cyan and red pieces around the lower-right green/blue hook; at about 00:36, turn that green/blue outline through the open floor approach first.
- With its footprint gone, slide the bottom-left yellow/blue hook into the center at about 00:34, keep its fixed L footprint aligned with the open floor approach, and route the full outline out.
- Clear the newly accessible yellow U-shaped group and red/green framed structures without laying a long red bar across the center.
- Open each orange 2-count side box only after the adjacent wall lane is empty, then take the released red, green, and yellow pieces.
- Finish the lower red and green groups, then send the last cyan/blue block through the bottom cyan gate.
Colors in this level:
Purple, Red, Cyan, Green, Yellow, Blue, Orange
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Moving the yellow/blue hook before the green/blue hook and losing the floor turning cells.
- Treating the cyan 4 or orange 2 markers as movable gate labels instead of restraints that clear when ordinary blocks leave.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 524 (quick clues)
- Move the lower-right green/blue hook first, then turn the bottom-left yellow/blue hook through the cells it vacates.
- Keep long red bars out of the central column while both hooks remain.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A purple reservoir starts at 6 above an exposed field with a cyan vertical restraint marked 4, orange locks marked 2 at left and lower-right, a bottom-left yellow/blue hook, and a lower-right green/blue hook. Outer counters begin at top 12 and right 25.
- Goal
- Use ordinary exits to clear the cyan 4 and orange 2 restraints, drain the purple reservoir from 6, and preserve the lower turn so the green/blue hook leaves before the yellow/blue hook.
- Opening
- Clear the short cyan and green side pieces plus accessible red center bars; these ordinary exits lower the purple 6 reservoir and the marked 4/2 restraints without moving the restrained pieces directly.
- Danger Zone
- The lower hooks overlap the same floor cells; the green/blue hook is handled around 00:36 before the yellow/blue hook around 00:34, so reversing them removes the needed turn.
- Mechanics
- Ordinary exits count a purple 6 reservoir, cyan 4 restraint, and two orange 2 locks down. Their cells open into a second layer where the two connected hooks share the same floor approach.
