Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Trying to clear the '13' block before the smiley blocks — it needs room to slide and exit multiple times.
- Clearing the top before the bottom, which leaves the lower blocks trapped with no sliding room.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 71 (spoiler-free)
- The purple '13' block is a marathon — clear the smiley blocks first to build space.
- The smiley blocks in the middle are free-sliding — use this freedom to clear paths for the arrow blocks.
- Think in chain clears. The best move is the one that sets up the next two moves, not just the quickest current match.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A rectangular grid roughly 6 columns wide and 8 rows tall, labeled 'Level 71'. Top area: large purple block with counter '13', with '13' and '10' counters on the sides. Middle area: green blocks with smiley faces, yellow blocks with smiley faces. Lower area: red blocks, blue blocks, purple blocks. Bottom area: green blocks with smiley faces. Exit arrows on left and right walls.
- Goal
- Each block must reach its matching gate. The large purple '13' block must exit through its gate. Smile blocks can slide freely. Left exit handles blue left-arrow blocks; right exit handles red right-arrow blocks; bottom exit handles green smiley blocks.
- Opening
- Start by clearing the green smiley blocks at the bottom through the bottom exit. Then shift the blue blocks on the left through the left exit. Work the yellow and green smiley blocks in the middle through their gates.
- Danger Zone
- The large purple '13' block at the top sits above the smiley blocks. If cleared before the middle blocks have room, the smiley blocks get trapped. Bottom must be cleared first.
- Mechanics
- Level 71 combines a large multi-pass purple block at the top with free-sliding smiley blocks in the middle and directional arrow blocks on the sides. The purple '13' block needs 13 exits.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the '13' on the purple block mean in Block Out Level 71?
It is a counter that decreases as the block exits through its gate. The purple block needs to pass through the gate 13 times before it is fully cleared.
Why is the purple block the main bottleneck?
Because it sits at the top of the board and requires 13 exits. Clearing the smiley blocks first gives it room to slide and exit multiple times.
