How to Solve Block Out Level 697 — Full Solution
- Send the smallest red and purple starter squares to matching exits, then separate the cyan/blue blocks from the nested outlined L pieces.
- Work the green and pink compact shapes through the left and bottom gates while keeping the cells below the purple 12-cover open.
- On the feeder's last cycle, clear the orange horizontal bar through the left orange gate: its counter changes from 1 to 0, the final blue vertical appears in the left cavity, and the nearby green vertical is moved first.
- Send the nested green/pink L through the left green gate; the lower-right green cover changes from 1 to 0, reveals its mixed corner cluster, and the blue L is moved first.
- Route the light-cyan L through the bottom-left pink gate; the center-left cover changes from 1 to 0, reveals orange/cyan bars, blue corners and a purple +5 piece, and that +5 piece is moved first.
- With the upper-left pink and large right covers each at 1, clear the second light-cyan J through the bottom pink gate; both reach 0, reveal their separate upper fields, and the blue L is moved first.
- Route orange and green blocks to the side gates while reserving the center for long cyan and yellow L pieces from the right reveal.
- Cash the visible +5 piece when its lane opens, then steer the red outlined L toward the right red gate without sealing the bottom pink lane.
- Clear the remaining cyan, yellow and pink corners, routing the +15 cyan piece through its top gate to restore the late timer.
- Clear the final yellow L through the right yellow gate, the red shell of the compact red/cyan L through the right red gate, then its revealed cyan L through the top cyan gate; the board empties at 0:19.
Colors in this level:
Purple, Pink, Green, Cyan, Blue, Red, Orange, Yellow
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Parking a long cyan or yellow corner across the middle as the 14-cover opens.
- Blocking the bottom pink lane before the red outlined L has turned toward the right gate.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 697 (quick clues)
- Do not accept the next feeder piece until its matching exit lane is clear.
- Use the +5 reward during the middle wave and preserve a clean top route for the late +15 cyan piece.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A compact starter pocket lies below pink 3, purple 12, purple 14 and green 3 covers. Nested outlined L pieces, small colored blocks and a left-side three-count feeder compete for the first open lanes.
- Goal
- Use exact 1-to-0 triggers: nested green/pink L through the left green gate for the lower-right cover, light-cyan L through the bottom pink gate for the center-left cover, and a second light-cyan J through that gate for both upper covers.
- Opening
- Remove small red and purple squares first, separate the cyan/blue blocks and keep the space under the 12-cover clear for the outlined L pieces.
- Danger Zone
- After the large covers lift, long cyan and yellow corners can divide the board and block the red outlined L from reaching the right red gate.
- Mechanics
- The green cover reveals a mixed lower-right cluster, the 12-cover reveals bars/corners and a +5 piece, the two upper covers reveal the wide second board, and the feeder's final blue vertical appears when its counter reaches 0.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Block Out Level 697 unusually long?
It begins with four covers and a three-item feeder, then the large 14-cover exposes a dense second board; the visible +5 and +15 rewards provide the time needed to finish it.
Which route should stay open after the upper covers lift?
Preserve the central turning area for long cyan/yellow corners and keep the right lane available for the red outlined L.
