How to Solve Block Out Level 601 — Full Solution
- Slide the outlined green square left through the green gate, then remove the exposed yellow top-row block and first cyan piece.
- Route the cyan and green hooks from the upper-left pocket through their matching side lanes before moving the long purple bars.
- Clear the right pink-and-cyan hook and adjacent yellow column to retract the middle shutter from 1 to zero.
- Take the tall blue column through the cyan/blue neck, followed by the cyan-yellow hook and purple horizontal above it.
- Work the brown numbered horizontal and yellow blocks around the outlined square cells until the lower shutter falls from 7 through 6, 5, and 3.
- After that shutter opens, clear the red vertical through the left red exit and the loose purple pieces through the bottom purple exit.
- Remove the upper purple masses, then route the green vertical and blue L through the reopened left-side approaches.
- Clear the red and cyan lower-left remnants so the final brown counter can fall to 1 without an occupied line.
- Finish the brown 1-piece, then sweep the separated yellow bars, hook, and outlined yellow field through the right-side yellow route.
Colors in this level:
Red, Blue, Purple, Pink, Yellow, Green, Cyan
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Parking a long purple block in the left neck while a blue vertical or cyan hook still needs to cross.
- Expanding the yellow field before the red/purple lower strip and brown counters have cleared.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 601 (quick clues)
- Keep the left neck vacant after every exit; it is reused by both shutter waves.
- Take the red and purple lower-strip pieces before spreading the final yellow cluster.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A compact hook-filled upper chamber sits above shutters marked 1 and 7. Cyan/green hooks, purple masses, yellow bars, a pink-cyan hook, brown numbered pieces, and outlined cells feed through one narrow left crossover.
- Goal
- Retract the 1-shutter, process each framed and numbered middle wave to open the 7-shutter, then clear the lower strip before releasing the large yellow field.
- Opening
- Send the outlined green square left, remove the exposed yellow and cyan pieces, then clear the upper-left cyan/green hooks before shifting long purple bars across center.
- Danger Zone
- A purple bar parked in the left neck blocks the blue vertical and cyan hook below; an early yellow mass also crowds the numbered pieces needed to finish the lower shutter.
- Mechanics
- Two shutters merge three zones in sequence, with recurring brown counters and outlined-cell waves before the final yellow-heavy board.
