How to Solve Block Out Level 556 — Full Solution
- Move the yellow two-by-two block toward the bottom orange gate and use the opened square to separate the cyan, blue, green, and purple starter pieces.
- Send reachable purple pieces through the left gate and the short green bar toward the right gate without parking either color in the center.
- Continue the bottom-gate exits until orange falls from 3 to zero and its shutter no longer seals the transition into the next chamber.
- Continue left-side purple exits until purple 5 reaches zero and the large packed chamber replaces the shutter rows.
- Send the exposed red blocks rightward and purple blocks leftward before either color occupies the middle turning bay.
- Remove the easy green bars from the right edge, then clear the outlined green bar once its horizontal lane opens.
- Drain the large blue staircase field while the center and lower lane are broad enough for its stepped pieces to turn.
- Clear the purple bar, cyan vertical, and cyan L-shaped pieces from the remaining upper traffic.
- Lower the outlined yellow L through the bottom yellow gate as soon as the cleared cyan lane gives it a straight approach.
- Slide the last cyan corner left through the cyan gate, then send the remaining yellow horizontal bar straight down through the bottom yellow gate.
Colors in this level:
Purple, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Red, Orange
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Saving the blue field for last and leaving too little room for the outlined yellow L or the cyan corner's left-gate turn.
- Chasing the large revealed chamber before completing the purple 5 and orange 3 requirements in the starter pocket.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 556 (quick clues)
- Use side gates as soon as their colors align, but reserve the central square for turns rather than storage.
- Clear blue before cyan, then keep the left cyan route and bottom yellow column open for the three-piece finish.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Two horizontal Color Shutters cover the upper board: purple begins at 5 and orange at 3. The exposed lower pocket holds a yellow two-by-two block, short green bar, cyan and blue pieces, and purple blocks around a bottom orange gate.
- Goal
- Satisfy both shutters, drain the blue field before cyan, send the final cyan corner through the left gate, and preserve the bottom yellow lane for the outlined L and final horizontal bar.
- Opening
- Drop the compact yellow block toward the bottom exit, shift green toward the right route, and clear reachable purple pieces through the left gate to create the first central vacancy.
- Danger Zone
- Saving blue for last crowds the cyan pieces and outlined yellow L; keep the left cyan route open for the last corner and the bottom lane open for both yellow pieces.
- Mechanics
- Stacked purple 5 and orange 3 Color Shutters replace a tiny starter pocket with a full-width second chamber containing outlined L shapes.
