Block Out level guide
Block Out Level 626 Walkthrough
Level 626 staggers a center 17-shutter, right 30-shutter, lower 1-shutter, and two 5-feeders around one narrow waist that every framed vertical and oversized L must cross.

How to Solve Block Out Level 626 — Full Solution
- Remove the loose purple and pink blocks along the bottom-left edge, then clear the exposed orange pieces from the tall left starter.
- Free the yellow-framed purple vertical and adjacent light-blue square; these exits leave the center and right counters visibly at 17 and 30 and start the lower blue 1-shutter.
- Send the shallow light-blue L upward through the top light-blue gate; the lower blue 1-shutter reaches zero and uncovers orange/red horizontals, a green L, yellow-framed L, and light-blue blocks, then move the exposed small yellow block toward the left yellow gate.
- Drain the lower-right 5-feeder separately: a large light-blue L through the left blue gate takes its visible 1 to zero and uncovers an orange horizontal; send the red zigzag through the bottom red gate before moving that orange horizontal.
- The red zigzag through the bottom red gate takes the center 17-shutter from 1 to zero and reveals two yellow horizontals, an orange horizontal, blue/red verticals, and a green-framed orange square; select the framed square first.
- Send the upper yellow horizontal through the top yellow gate, lower yellow horizontal through the bottom yellow gate, orange horizontal through the bottom-left orange gate, blue vertical through the top blue gate, and red vertical through the bottom red gate.
- A large light-blue L through the top light-blue gate takes the top-center 5-feeder from 1 to zero and reveals the purple stack at upper-left; the orange L is already out, and the new green horizontal goes through the top green gate first.
- Work the right 30-shutter down with the light-blue, yellow, orange, and green pieces, moving every tall piece fully out instead of stopping beside the covered lane.
- The orange L through the bottom-left orange gate takes the right 30-shutter from 1 to zero and reveals red, green, and pink verticals; send the green vertical through the bottom green gate first.
- Remove the remaining purple columns and small purple blocks after the red/orange/green wave; the last purple piece exits right and the verified Level 626 board is empty.
Colors in this level:
Orange, Pink, Purple, Yellow, Light blue, Blue, Green, Red
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Leaving the blue L across the waist while the center shutter is opening, which isolates the green and light-blue L pieces.
- Letting both 5-feeders and the 30-shutter release into the shared corridor before clearing the current framed piece.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 626 (quick clues)
- Move every framed vertical completely across the center waist instead of using the waist as a parking slot.
- Empty a 5-feeder wave before allowing the right 30-shutter to crowd the same corridor.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A tall board surrounds a center shutter that reads 17 after the opening exits, a thin right shutter then reading 30, a lower blue 1-shutter, a top-center 5-feeder, and a separate lower-right 5-feeder. The left starter contains orange/pink towers, a yellow-framed purple vertical, light-blue and blue pieces, and bottom purple/pink blocks.
- Goal
- Retract the short shutters from the exposed starter, use the center only as a transfer lane, and empty each framed or oversized piece before the slower right shutter feeds another wave into the waist.
- Opening
- Clear the loose purple and pink bottom pieces, take the exposed orange blocks, then release the yellow-framed purple vertical and adjacent light-blue block to start the left counters and lower shutter.
- Danger Zone
- A blue L, tall orange/pink bar, or framed vertical parked across the one-cell central waist blocks the later green L, light-blue L, and right-chamber pieces from changing sides.
- Mechanics
- Five covered sources release independently: the lower blue 1-shutter, center 17-shutter, lower-right 5-feeder, top-center 5-feeder, and right 30-shutter; the top feeder reveals a purple stack after the orange L is already exposed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which shutter should you open first in Block Out Level 626?
Use the exposed left starter to open the lower 1-shutter and center 17-shutter first; the thin right 30-shutter is the slow late-game source.
Why does the middle of Level 626 keep jamming?
The center is the only crossing for several framed verticals and large L pieces, so a temporary parking move there blocks both sides at once.
