Block Out level guide
Block Out Level 86 Walkthrough
Block Out Level 86 is a fast, compact puzzle on a C-shaped board. A wide red block spans the top, a green block with padlock `3` sits in the center-left, orange and blue blocks fill the middle, and a tall purple column runs down the right side. Unlock the green padlock by clearing three blocks first (blue, orange, red), then feed the purple column through the bottom exits.

How to Solve Block Out Level 86 — Full Solution
- Push the small blue block in the center upward through the top exit — this is the first clear toward the green padlock (02:57 in the video).
- Slide the orange key block left through the left-wall exit — second clear, and it removes the key gate (02:55).
- Push the wide red block at the top upward through the top exit — third clear, unlocking the green padlock `3` (02:52).
- Clear the unlocked green block through the left-wall exit because it now has room to slide left (02:49).
- Clear the yellow blocks at the bottom through the down-arrow exits to open the lane for the purple column (02:46).
- Feed the tall purple column on the right downward through the bottom exits — it is the largest mass and takes several passes (02:43–02:34).
- Finish with the remaining small green blocks at the bottom (02:31–02:25).
Colors in this level:
Blue, Red, Orange, Green, Purple, Yellow
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Trying to move the green padlock `3` block before clearing three other blocks — it is locked and will not budge, wasting a move on a 39-second timer.
- Leaving yellow blocks at the bottom while feeding the purple column — the column cannot pass through and stalls mid-feed.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 86 (spoiler-free)
- Clear the blue, orange, and red blocks first (in that order) to unlock the green padlock `3` by move three.
- The purple column on the right needs the bottom row empty — clear yellow blocks before feeding it.
- This level is only 39 seconds — every move counts, plan the first three clears before starting.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A compact C-shaped board — the right side wraps into a tall column of purple blocks. Top: a wide red horizontal block spanning most of the top row. Center-left: a green block with padlock `3` icon, an orange block with a key icon beside it, and a small blue block. Right column: large purple blocks stacked vertically, forming the right wall of the C-shape. Bottom: yellow blocks and small green blocks. A gap in the center creates the C-shape opening. Exits: up arrow at top center, left arrow on left wall, down arrows at bottom edge.
- Goal
- The green padlock `3` block cannot move until three other blocks are cleared. The red block at the top and the orange key block are priority clears because they count toward the padlock threshold and open space. The tall purple column on the right is the largest mass and exits downward through the bottom.
- Opening
- Push the small blue block in the center upward through the top exit — it has the only immediate clearance and counts as clear #1 toward the padlock (02:57). Slide the orange key block left through the left-wall exit for clear #2 (02:55). Push the wide red block at the top upward for clear #3, which unlocks the green padlock (02:52).
- Danger Zone
- By 02:43 the green padlock should be unlocked. If the orange key block was not removed before the red block, the green block stays locked and jams the center path. The purple column needs the entire bottom row clear to feed downward — yellow blocks left at the bottom stall the column.
- Mechanics
- A fast, compact puzzle (39s) on a C-shaped board. The padlock `3` on the green block is the sequencing gate — the order of the first three clears determines whether the center opens smoothly or jams. Despite the short duration, the tight packing makes each move critical.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the padlock `3` on the green block mean in Block Out Level 86?
The green block is locked and cannot move until you clear three other blocks from the board first. Clear the blue, orange, and red blocks to unlock it by move three.
Why is Level 86 so short but still tricky?
The C-shaped board and padlock `3` gate force a specific first-three-moves sequence. One wrong order locks the green block in place and jams the center path with no recovery time on a 39-second clock.
