Block Out level guide
Block Out Level 56 Walkthrough
Block Out Level 56 packs a tight grid with a purple '3' block at the top, red and blue blocks filling the upper rows, and yellow/green blocks in the middle. The chokepoint is the purple '3' — it blocks the upper section. Clear the bottom first, then work the middle yellow and green blocks out, and finish with the numbered blocks at the top.

How to Solve Block Out Level 56 — Full Solution
- Clear the red and pink blocks at the bottom toward the right exit to open the base.

- Begin clearing the blue blocks in the middle through the right exit.

- Finish with any remaining blocks trapped in the corners.
Colors in this level:
Purple, Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Pink, Orange
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Trying to clear the purple '3' block before the blocks below it — it needs room to slide and exit multiple times.
- Clearing the top before the bottom, which leaves the lower blocks trapped with no sliding room.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 56 (spoiler-free)
- The purple '3' block at the top is a multi-pass piece — clear the blocks below it first so it has room to slide.
- Clear the bottom rows first to create sliding space for the upper numbered blocks.
- Think in chain clears. The best move is the one that sets up the next two moves, not just the quickest current match.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A rectangular grid roughly 4 columns wide and 6-7 rows tall. Purple block with counter '3' at the top-center. Upper rows: red blocks on the left, blue blocks in the middle, purple blocks on the right. Middle rows: yellow blocks in the center, green blocks on the left, blue blocks with a down arrow, orange blocks on the right. Lower rows: red blocks at the bottom, pink blocks at the bottom-right, green blocks on the left, blue blocks in the middle. Exit arrows on left and right walls.
- Goal
- Each colored block must reach its matching gate. The numbered counters decrease as blocks exit, tracking remaining pieces. The left exit handles green and yellow blocks; the right exit handles blue, purple, red, and pink blocks.
- Opening
- Start by clearing the red and pink blocks at the bottom toward the right exit. Then shift the green blocks on the left out through the left exit. The yellow center blocks follow.
- Danger Zone
- The purple '3' block at the top sits directly above the main cluster. If not cleared early, it blocks access to the upper blue blocks. The red blocks at the bottom must also be cleared before upper blocks can slide down.
- Mechanics
- Level 56 uses numbered counters on blocks that decrease as they exit through gates. The purple '3' block is a multi-pass piece requiring three exits. The board has a mix of horizontal and vertical blocks creating tight packing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the '3' on the purple block mean in Block Out Level 56?
It is a counter that decreases as the block exits through its gate. The purple block needs to pass through the gate 3 times before it is fully cleared.
Why is the purple block at the top the main bottleneck?
It sits directly above the main cluster of blocks and blocks access to the upper section. Clearing the blocks below it first gives it room to slide and exit multiple times.
