The sample covers 42.3% of a 20x28 lattice: 8 colours, 0 empty rows and 56 separate colour groups.
near-black 25.7% of the sample
Spread across the sampled board rather than parked in one corner.
red 23.6% of the sample
Spread across the sampled board rather than parked in one corner.
white 13.5% of the sample
Spread across the sampled board rather than parked in one corner.
light grey 12.7% of the sample
Spread across the sampled board rather than parked in one corner.
deep red 8.4% of the sample
Sits almost entirely on the outer rim, where the door slots are. Treat it as a rim or door colour rather than another block group.
blue 8.0% of the sample
Sits almost entirely on the outer rim, where the door slots are. Treat it as a rim or door colour rather than another block group.
grey 4.2% of the sample
Sits almost entirely on the outer rim, where the door slots are. Treat it as a rim or door colour rather than another block group.
navy 3.8% of the sample
Sits almost entirely on the outer rim, where the door slots are. Treat it as a rim or door colour rather than another block group.

How to read this board
Start from the largest colour: near-black
Near-black covers 25.7% of the sampled board — more than any other colour. It has the most pieces to route, so clear it early once its door is reachable instead of leaving it until the board is tight.
Rim colours are doors, not extra blocks
deep red, blue, grey and navy appear almost only on the outer rim. They mark door slots or trim; do not count them as another group of pieces to clear.
The pieces cover the sampled board
No flat dark background was detected in the sample, so the pieces fill the measurable board area. Treat the first few moves as a search for any lane that is already open.
8 measured colours
The sample contains 8 main colours. Fewer colours means fewer door groups to track, but the remaining pieces can still block each other; clear one colour at a time.
How the Level 22 clear works
The sample fills 42.3% of its 20x28 lattice and splits into 8 colours and 56 groups. More sampled pieces sit in the top third (72.6%) than in the bottom third (17.7%), so the upper lanes carry most of the traffic. Light grey is the most divided colour, with 14 separate groups in the sample. Space is shared, so the order matters more than the speed: a block parked in a doorway can wall off another colour completely.
Level 22 sits in the Beginner tier and in the 1–40 block of this guide. Early boards introduce one idea at a time: match the door color, follow the lane, and keep the path back open. Treat them as a tutorial for route planning rather than a race. The sample has no empty rows and no full-width corridor, so spare space is limited.
Strategy note 1
The sample has no empty rows, so every move has to open the next one. Plan two moves ahead before sliding into the middle.
Strategy note 2
Light grey is split into 14 groups. Clear the group closest to its door first; the far groups stay blocked until that run is finished.
Strategy note 3
Only 42.3% of the sample is covered, so the edges can hold waiting blocks while the centre stays open.
Strategy note 4
If two colours are split into several groups, finish the smaller colour first so it stops competing for lanes.
Strategy note 5
Clear the edge pieces before the middle ones; the centre is where every route has to cross.

Block Out Level 22 — frequently asked questions
- What colours are on the Block Out Level 22 board?
- The board image on this page breaks down into 8 main colours: near-black (25.7%), red (23.6%), white (13.5%), light grey (12.7%), deep red (8.4%), blue (8.0%), grey (4.2%), navy (3.8%). The names are read off the measured hex values shown beside each swatch, so they can differ from the name the game gives the same block.
- Which colour covers the most of the Level 22 board?
- Near-black is the largest measured colour at 25.7% of the sample. That makes it the colour with the most pieces to route, so it is usually the one worth clearing early once its door is open.
- How much of the Level 22 board is empty?
- No flat dark background was detected in the sample, so the pieces cover the measurable board area. There is no measured empty-space figure for this board.
- Does the board image show the order to move the blocks?
- No. A still image shows the colours and their layout, but not the block queue or the order the game offers. The video on this page is the exact clear; the measured breakdown is what the board costs to clear, not a tap-by-tap order.
- How is the Level 22 board laid out?
- The sample fills 42.3% of its 20x28 lattice and splits into 8 colours and 56 groups. More sampled pieces sit in the top third (72.6%) than in the bottom third (17.7%), so the upper lanes carry most of the traffic. The sample has no empty rows and no full-width corridor, so spare space is limited.
- What difficulty is Level 22 in Block Out?
- Level 22 is rated Beginner difficulty in Block Out! - Color Sort Puzzle. Tiers run from Beginner (1-99) through Intermediate (100-249) and Advanced (250-449) to Expert (450 and up).
- Is there a video walkthrough for Block Out Level 22?
- Yes — the video on this page plays the complete clear of this board, so you can follow the block routes in real time.
- Why do I get stuck on Block Out Level 22?
- Most jams on Level 22 come from opening a second colour before the first is off the board. The sample holds 8 colours split into 56 groups, so every extra front costs a lane. Clear one colour at a time, keep the middle open, and treat the edges as waiting space.
- Does Block Out work offline?
- Yes. Block Out! - Color Sort Puzzle can be played offline once installed — there are no online requirements during normal play.
