The sample covers 85.4% of a 20x28 lattice: 8 colours, 1 empty rows and 85 separate colour groups.

  • blue 22.0% of the sample

    Spread across the sampled board rather than parked in one corner.

  • red 17.8% of the sample

    Spread across the sampled board rather than parked in one corner.

  • dark grey 13.2% of the sample

    Concentrated in the central half of the sample, so these pieces have to cross the busiest lanes.

  • orange 11.9% of the sample

    Spread across the sampled board rather than parked in one corner.

  • pink 11.9% of the sample

    Spread across the sampled board rather than parked in one corner.

  • navy 11.7% of the sample

    Spread across the sampled board rather than parked in one corner.

  • green 8.2% of the sample

    Spread across the sampled board rather than parked in one corner.

  • cyan 3.3% 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: blue

Blue covers 22.0% 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.

Protect the middle: dark grey

Dark grey sits mostly in the central half of the sample. Moving it will cross routes other colours still need, so keep that part of the board as clear as the level allows.

Rim colours are doors, not extra blocks

cyan 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.

How the Level 230 clear works

The sample fills 85.4% of its 20x28 lattice and splits into 8 colours and 85 groups. The pieces are spread across the sampled rows (35.8% top, 34.7% middle, 29.5% bottom) rather than stacked in one band. Orange is the most divided colour, with 18 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 230 sits in the Intermediate tier and in the 201–240 block of this guide. Mid-game boards start crossing lanes and adding a second color on the same route. The extra challenge is not speed but sequencing — clear the block whose path disappears first. The sample has one empty row and no full-width corridor, so spare space is limited.

Strategy note 1

With only 1 empty row in the sample, every move has to open the next one. Plan two moves ahead before sliding into the middle.

Strategy note 2

Orange is split into 18 groups. Clear the group closest to its door first; the far groups stay blocked until that run is finished.

Strategy note 3

85.4% of the sampled lattice is covered. At that density one parked block can close the only route to a door.

Strategy note 4

Clear the edge pieces before the middle ones; the centre is where every route has to cross.

Strategy note 5

If two colours are split into several groups, finish the smaller colour first so it stops competing for lanes.

These notes combine the measured 8-colour sample with the intermediate mechanics, not a move-by-move transcript. The video above is the exact clear for this board.

Block Out Level 230 — frequently asked questions

What colours are on the Block Out Level 230 board?
The board image on this page breaks down into 8 main colours: blue (22.0%), red (17.8%), dark grey (13.2%), orange (11.9%), pink (11.9%), navy (11.7%), green (8.2%), cyan (3.3%). 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 230 board?
Blue is the largest measured colour at 22.0% 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 230 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 230 board laid out?
The sample fills 85.4% of its 20x28 lattice and splits into 8 colours and 85 groups. The pieces are spread across the sampled rows (35.8% top, 34.7% middle, 29.5% bottom) rather than stacked in one band. The sample has one empty row and no full-width corridor, so spare space is limited.
What difficulty is Level 230 in Block Out?
Level 230 is rated Intermediate 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 230?
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 230?
Most jams on Level 230 come from opening a second colour before the first is off the board. The sample holds 8 colours split into 85 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.

Yes. Block Out! - Color Sort Puzzle can be played offline once installed — there are no online requirements during normal play.
