Block Out level guide
Block Out Level 79 Walkthrough
Block Out Level 79 is a two-phase board. First you drain a huge purple `17` reservoir sitting under two cramped upper wells. Then the board collapses into a lower tray where a purple bridge-shaped piece must move before the blue and orange blocks on the right can escape.

How to Solve Block Out Level 79 — Full Solution
- Drain the giant bottom chamber marked `17` before you overwork either top well.
- While that reservoir is falling, clean the upper-left lane by moving the red L-shape and green stair out of each other's way.
- Start reducing the upper-right `7` chamber only after the left well is no longer clogging the side counters.
- When both purple chambers are gone, switch focus to the lower tray that appears beneath them.
- Open the left side of that lower tray first, then move the purple bridge piece so the blue stepped block on the right has a route.
- Finish with the right-side blue and orange blocks after the center lane is empty.
Colors in this level:
Purple, Blue, Green, Red, Orange
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Treating the upper-right `7` chamber as the first target instead of draining the `17` reservoir underneath it.
- Trying to clear the right-side blue steps in the lower tray before the purple bridge piece has moved.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 79 (spoiler-free)
- Treat the big `17` reservoir as the opener, not the `7` chamber.
- When the lower tray appears, open the left side before you try to free the blue steps on the right.
- 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
- The opening screen is split into three zones: a cramped upper-left well with a red L-shape, a green stair, and a purple nub; an upper-right purple chamber marked `7`; and a giant lower purple reservoir marked `17` that stretches under both wells. After those chambers empty, the level shifts into a second lower tray filled with red blocks, blue steps, orange bars, and a purple bridge-shaped piece.
- Goal
- The giant `17` reservoir is the first pressure point. Once it falls, the upper wells stop fighting over the side counters. After both purple reservoirs are gone, the lower tray opens and the bridge-shaped purple piece becomes the gatekeeper for the right-side blue and orange blocks.
- Opening
- Drain the `17` reservoir first while cleaning the upper-left well. Only after the red L-shape and green stair stop clogging the side lanes should you start reducing the upper-right `7` chamber.
- Danger Zone
- If you focus on the `7` chamber too early, the lower tray appears while the upper-left well is still messy. That leaves the purple bridge with no safe rotation lane and makes the second half tighter than it needs to be.
- Mechanics
- Level 79 is effectively two puzzles. The first half is a chamber-drain opener; the second half is a free-sliding lower tray where one purple bridge piece controls whether the right side can finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Block Out Level 79 feel like two different boards?
Because it is. The opening is a chamber-drain puzzle built around the `17` and `7` reservoirs. After those are gone, the rest of the level turns into a lower tray with normal sliding pieces.
What should I clear before touching the lower-tray blue steps in Level 79?
Move the purple bridge piece first. The right-side blue steps do not have a clean exit until that bridge stops blocking the center.
