The sample covers 42.3% of a 20x28 lattice: 8 colours, 1 empty rows and 45 separate colour groups.
red 26.8% of the sample
Spread across the sampled board rather than parked in one corner.
blue 12.0% of the sample
Spread across the sampled board rather than parked in one corner.
orange 10.7% of the sample
Concentrated in the central half of the sample, so these pieces have to cross the busiest lanes.
pale blue 8.7% of the sample
Spread across the sampled board rather than parked in one corner.
pink 8.4% of the sample
Spread across the sampled board rather than parked in one corner.
green 5.7% of the sample
Spread across the sampled board rather than parked in one corner.
purple 4.7% of the sample
Spread across the sampled board rather than parked in one corner.
light blue 2.3% of the sample
Spread across the sampled board rather than parked in one corner.
navy 20.7% of the sample
Dark board backing — empty cells or mechanism panels, not a coloured block.

How to read this board
Start from the largest colour: red
Red covers 26.8% 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: orange
Orange 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.
There is spare space — use it deliberately
About 20.7% of the sample is dark background. That is more breathing room than the busiest boards get, so use an empty lane as a waiting spot instead of parking a block in front of a door.
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 277 clear works
The sample fills 42.3% of its 20x28 lattice and splits into 8 colours and 45 groups. More sampled pieces sit in the bottom third (48.1%) than in the top third (27.4%), so the lower lanes carry most of the traffic. Red is the most divided colour, with 12 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 277 sits in the Advanced tier and in the 241–280 block of this guide. Advanced boards usually have more blocks than comfortable free space. Every parked block costs a lane, so plan two or three moves ahead and keep the board's center clear. 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
Red is split into 12 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
Solve one colour at a time instead of pushing several blocks around at once.

Block Out Level 277 — frequently asked questions
- What colours are on the Block Out Level 277 board?
- The board image on this page breaks down into 8 main colours: red (26.8%), blue (12.0%), orange (10.7%), pale blue (8.7%), pink (8.4%), green (5.7%), purple (4.7%), light blue (2.3%). 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 277 board?
- Red is the largest measured colour at 26.8% 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 277 board is empty?
- The dark board background covers 20.7% of the sample. It can include empty cells and mechanism panels, so read it as spare backing area rather than a count of free moves.
- 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 277 board laid out?
- The sample fills 42.3% of its 20x28 lattice and splits into 8 colours and 45 groups. More sampled pieces sit in the bottom third (48.1%) than in the top third (27.4%), so the lower lanes carry most of the traffic. The sample has one empty row and no full-width corridor, so spare space is limited.
- What difficulty is Level 277 in Block Out?
- Level 277 is rated Advanced 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 277?
- 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 277?
- Most jams on Level 277 come from opening a second colour before the first is off the board. The sample holds 8 colours split into 45 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.
