Block Out level guide
Block Out Level 81 Walkthrough
Block Out Level 81 stacks full-width colored horizontal bars in a tall, narrow board. A green bar with counter '1' sits at the top, followed by blue, red, and green bars, then a large yellow/orange block on the right side. A lock block with counter '2' gates the center, and the bottom holds heavy blocks with counters '10' and '5'. Peel bars from the top down, clear the center lock, then feed the heavy bottom blocks last.

How to Solve Block Out Level 81 — Full Solution
- Slide the green bar (counter '1') at the top through the top exit.

- Pull the red bar next, continuing the top-down peel.

- Route the large yellow/orange block out through the widened mid-section.
- Feed the bottom blocks (counters '10' and '5') through the bottom exits.
Colors in this level:
Green, Blue, Red, Yellow, Orange
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Trying to skip a bar in the stack — the full-width bars block everything below them.
- Attempting the bottom blocks before the lock block is cleared, which leaves the lower half sealed.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 81 (spoiler-free)
- Peel strictly from the top down — full-width bars cannot slide sideways.
- Clear the lock block in the center before attempting any lower-half bar.
- 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 tall, narrow board with stacked horizontal bars. Top: green bar with counter '1'. Below: blue bar, red bar, green bar. Mid-right: large yellow/orange block. Center-left: lock block with counter '2'. Lower area: more blue and red bars. Bottom: two blocks with counters '10' and '5'. Exits on the top edge (up arrow) and bottom edge (down arrows).
- Goal
- The horizontal bars must exit through top or bottom gates. The full-width bars need clear vertical lanes. The lock block with counter '2' gates the center and must clear before the lower half opens. The counter '10' and '5' blocks at the bottom need many passes.
- Opening
- Start with the green bar at the top (counter '1') — one pass through the top exit. Then peel the blue and red bars below it. Work downward through the stack.
- Danger Zone
- The large yellow/orange block in the mid-section needs the bars above it cleared first. The bottom blocks (counters '10' and '5') create a long endgame feed.
- Mechanics
- Level 81 is a stacked-bar extraction puzzle. The full-width bars can only slide vertically, making this a strict top-to-bottom peel. The lock block in the center splits the stack into gated halves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why must I peel from the top in Block Out Level 81?
Because the horizontal bars span the full board width and can only slide vertically. If you cannot push a bar up through the top exit, nothing below it can move.
What do the counters '10' and '5' mean at the bottom of Level 81?
They indicate how many times those blocks must pass through their exit to fully clear. The '10' block takes ten passes, making it the longest feed in the level.
