How to Solve Block Out Level 18 — Full Solution
- Strip the right white-and-black ladder so the side counters begin falling.
- Leave the cyan `14` cap and the cyan `11` centerpiece parked while the frame around them loosens.
- Mirror that cleanup on the left side once the first ladder has opened enough room.
- Separate the cyan `14` cap from the `11` block only after both side rails have narrowed.
- Use the freed top lane to peel away the blue and pink columns.
- Move the `11` block after the outer rails are already thin.
- Finish with the green top route and the last side leftovers.
Colors in this level:
Cyan, Pink, Blue, White, Black, Green, Red
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Trying to split the `14/11` pair before the rails are open.
- Using the top pink columns as early movers instead of late cleanup.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 18 (spoiler-free)
- Open the rails before you split the center pair.
- The green top finish is a late route, not the first route.
- 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 cyan `14` cap sits above a large cyan `11` centerpiece, with pink and blue columns across the top, white ladders and black blockers on both sides, and side counters marked `12`, `7`, and `1`. The board finishes through a green top exit and a red bottom lane.
- Goal
- Open the rails around the cyan pair so the `14` cap and the `11` centerpiece can finally separate.
- Opening
- Strip the right ladder first and leave both cyan center blocks parked while the frame counters drop.
- Danger Zone
- Moving a top pink column early narrows the frame and delays the center separation.
- Mechanics
- Level 18 is a capped centerpiece puzzle where two center blocks behave like a single locked unit for most of the level.
