How to Solve Block Out Level 676 — Full Solution
- Send the exposed lower red verticals through the bottom red gate, the yellow vertical through the bottom yellow gate, and the purple horizontal through the bottom purple gate.
- Separate the green-red nested L shapes along the left half and route free cyan/blue pieces to the left blue gate while keeping the central shaft open.
- At left-cover 1, send the yellow 2-by-2 square through the right yellow gate; it changes the cover to 0 and reveals the key-and-lock chamber. Pull the long red vertical down first, then park the cyan key tile upper-left.
- Unwind the revealed green and red L shapes, then lower the tall pink rectangle through the center only after its bottom lane is free.
- Clear the lower-right blue L and yellow block, followed by the green row at the right gate, so the remaining right cover can count down.
- At right-cover 1, send the green 2-by-2 square through the left green gate; it changes the cover to 0 and reveals the orange column, framed purple square, horizontal bars and cyan-purple L. Pull the long red vertical down first.
- Move the long red vertical out of the center and clear the remaining lower-right blue L, opening a route from the cyan key to the framed pink lock.
- Slide the cyan key block onto the framed pink lock; after it releases, send the freed pink rectangle through the left pink gate and the adjacent cyan piece through the right blue gate.
- Route the upper purple L through the top purple gate, then clear the green horizontal and lower red L through their matching gates.
- Send the final red L through the top red gate, the purple stepped cluster through the bottom purple gate, and the pink vertical through the left pink gate last; the board is empty at 0:28 before BLOCK OUT and PERFECT.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

- Trying to route the framed pink block before the cyan key has crossed into its row.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 676 (quick clues)
- Return the center shaft to empty after every long block passes through it.
- Keep the cyan key in the upper-left pocket until the row to the pink lock is clear.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Two purple covers occupy the upper half above a crowded red/yellow/green/pink/blue pocket. Counter tabs ring the sides; the left reveal contains a cyan key tile, a framed pink lock, and nested green-red L shapes.
- Goal
- Empty the lower pocket to open the left cover, preserve the center shaft while the right cover reveals orange and long bars, then deliver the cyan key to the framed pink lock before the final exits.
- Opening
- Clear the exposed bottom red, yellow, and purple pieces, separate the green-red nested L, and feed cyan/blue toward the left gate without storing a long piece in the center shaft.
- Danger Zone
- A pink vertical, cyan L, or red bar left in the center shaft blocks the next cover reveal; the framed pink lock also cannot leave before the cyan key reaches it.
- Mechanics
- Multiple perimeter counters drive two staged cover reveals, followed by a visible cyan key transfer that unlocks the framed pink block.

What opens the first large cover in Block Out Level 676?
A yellow 2-by-2 square exits through the right yellow gate at 1, taking the left cover to 0; pull the revealed long red vertical downward first.
How does the framed pink block unlock?
After the second reveal is cleared, slide the cyan key tile across the open row to the framed pink lock, then route the released pink block to the left gate.
