Block Out level guide
Block Out Level 72 Walkthrough
Block Out Level 72 packs a 5×7 grid with numbered blocks '6' and '11' on the sides, free-sliding smiley blocks in the middle, and directional arrow blocks on the edges. The numbered blocks must exit through their gates while the smiley blocks are free to move. Clear the bottom first, then work the smiley blocks, and finish with the numbered blocks.

How to Solve Block Out Level 72 — Full Solution
- Clear the green smiley blocks at the bottom through the bottom exit to open the base.
- Shift the yellow blocks on the left out through the left exit to open the lower-left area.
- Begin sliding the orange and yellow smiley blocks in the middle freely — they can move in any direction.
- Clear the blue blocks on the right through the right exit as the middle opens.
- Tackle the numbered blocks with counters '6' and '11' — clear the lighter '6' first.
- Finish with the heavier '11' blocks, which have the most room after the others are cleared.
Colors in this level:
Blue, Yellow, Orange, Green, Red
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Clearing the numbered '11' blocks before the smiley blocks — the '11' blocks need 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 72 (spoiler-free)
- The smiley blocks in the middle are free-sliding — use this freedom to clear paths for the numbered blocks.
- Clear the lighter '6' block first, then the heavier '11' 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 5 columns wide and 7 rows tall, labeled 'Level 72'. Top area: red blocks at the top-left, blue blocks with counter '6' at the top-right. Middle area: orange blocks with smiley faces, yellow blocks with smiley faces, blue blocks with smiley faces. Lower area: yellow blocks with counter '11' on the left, blue blocks with counter '11' on the right. Bottom area: green blocks with smiley faces. Exit arrows on left and right walls.
- Goal
- Each block must reach its matching gate. Numbered blocks with counters '6' and '11' must exit through their gates. Smile blocks can slide freely. Left exit handles yellow 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 yellow blocks on the left through the left exit. Work the orange and yellow smiley blocks in the middle through their gates.
- Danger Zone
- The numbered blocks with counters '6' and '11' sit above the smiley blocks. If cleared before the middle blocks have room, the smiley blocks get trapped. Bottom must be cleared first.
- Mechanics
- Level 72 combines numbered blocks with counters '6' and '11' on the sides with free-sliding smiley blocks in the middle. The smiley blocks can move freely but are constrained by the numbered blocks.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the numbers '6' and '11' on the blocks mean in Block Out Level 72?
They are counters that decrease as the blocks exit through their gates. The '6' block needs 6 exits, and the '11' blocks need 11 exits each before they are fully cleared.
Why are the smiley blocks important?
Because they can slide freely in any direction, they can be used to clear paths for the numbered blocks on the sides. Clearing them first opens the middle of the board.
