How to Solve Block Out Level 696 — Full Solution
- Remove the crown's top pink and cyan pieces through the purple and cyan gates, then use the exposed green and yellow exits without parking an orange corner in the middle.
- Lower the 11-cover to 1, then send the upper-right nested L's orange outer layer through the right yellow gate; the cover reaches 0, reveals the middle board, and the upper-left orange L is moved first.
- Raise the long outlined orange horizontal into the top transfer row, then clear upper green/yellow/pink pieces before moving the outlined red vertical across the right.
- Route the cyan verticals to cyan/blue gates and the yellow-pink L toward the pink side gate while leaving the lower-cover shelf open.
- Lower the 6-cover to 1, send the plain yellow L through the right yellow gate, then clear the first post-reveal pink zigzag through the left pink gate after the orange/green/cyan pocket appears.
- Move the revealed orange square into the upper field first, then separate the cyan horizontal and vertical so both can reach their gates without trapping the green L.
- After one blue clear leaves the 2-cover at 1, send the small blue vertical through the right blue gate; the cover opens onto pink/cyan/green/red pieces and the revealed cyan horizontal leaves first through the top cyan gate.
- Send the new pink/cyan pieces to their side and top gates, route the red vertical through the bottom red gate and move the outlined green L toward the right gate.
- Clear the remaining cyan L through the top cyan gate, followed by the green zigzag and green vertical through the green exits.
- Finish with the green corner through the right green gate, the green vertical through that same gate, and the orange 2x2 square through the lower-left orange gate; the board empties at 0:30 before PERFECT.

Quick Tips for Block Out Level 696 (quick clues)
- Keep the central crown lane and the lower-cover shelf empty after every large-piece transfer.
- Separate the two cyan pieces from the orange pocket before routing the outlined green L.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A narrow mixed-color crown sits above a wide purple 11-cover, an orange 6-cover at lower-left and a blue 2-cover at lower-right. Outlined orange corners, a pink square and cyan/green/yellow pieces crowd the only top lanes.
- Goal
- Use the upper-right orange outer L at the right yellow gate to open the 11-cover, a later yellow L at that gate to open the 6-cover, and the small blue vertical at the right blue gate to open the 2-cover.
- Opening
- Send the top pink and cyan pieces through their gates, work the easy green/yellow exits and keep both orange-outlined corners away from the crown's open center.
- Danger Zone
- Parking the long outlined orange bar on the shelf above the lower covers blocks the red vertical and the blue pieces required to open the final chamber.
- Mechanics
- The 11-cover opens when its last orange outer L leaves the yellow gate; the 6-cover opens on a later yellow L, and the 2-cover opens when its last small blue vertical leaves the right blue gate.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is hidden under the orange 6-cover in Block Out Level 696?
The plain yellow L exits through the right yellow gate while the cover shows 1, taking it to 0; the reveal contains an outlined orange square, outlined green L, cyan horizontal/vertical pieces and compact bars, and the first clear afterward is the pink zigzag through the left pink gate.
How does the blue 2-cover open, and what leaves first afterward?
After the first blue clear lowers it to 1, the small blue vertical exits through the right blue gate for 1 to 0; the newly revealed cyan horizontal then leaves first through the top cyan gate.
