AdvancedMeasured from the Level 431 image on this page, the sampled board breaks down into 9 main colours: red (15.6%), blue (13.6%) and orange (13.1%), plus 6 other colours. The dark board background covers 10.9% of the sample; it reads as empty space or mechanism panels rather than as a coloured block.

The sample covers 77.5% of a 20x28 lattice: 9 colours, 0 empty rows and 58 separate colour groups.
red 15.6% of the sample
Spread across the sampled board rather than parked in one corner.
blue 13.6% of the sample
Mostly around the edge, close to the doors and waiting lanes.
orange 13.1% of the sample
Spread across the sampled board rather than parked in one corner.
green 12.7% of the sample
Spread across the sampled board rather than parked in one corner.
pale blue 9.9% of the sample
Spread across the sampled board rather than parked in one corner.
pink 7.2% of the sample
Spread across the sampled board rather than parked in one corner.
purple 7.0% of the sample
Spread across the sampled board rather than parked in one corner.
grey 5.1% of the sample
Spread across the sampled board rather than parked in one corner.
pale orange 4.9% of the sample
Spread across the sampled board rather than parked in one corner.
navy 10.9% 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 15.6% 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.
The board starts crowded
Only 10.9% of the sample is dark background. With little spare space, every parked block costs a lane; plan two or three moves ahead before sliding into the centre.
9 measured colours
The sample contains 9 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 431 clear works
The sample fills 77.5% of its 20x28 lattice and splits into 9 colours and 58 groups. The pieces are spread across the sampled rows (37.3% top, 37.1% middle, 25.6% bottom) rather than stacked in one band. 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 431 sits in the Advanced tier and in the 401–440 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 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
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
77.5% of the sampled lattice is covered. At that density one parked block can close the only route to a door.
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
If a lane is blocked, clear the block at its mouth rather than pushing deeper into the jam.

Block Out Level 431 — frequently asked questions
- What colours are on the Block Out Level 431 board?
- The board image on this page breaks down into 9 main colours: red (15.6%), blue (13.6%), orange (13.1%), green (12.7%), pale blue (9.9%), pink (7.2%), purple (7.0%), grey (5.1%), pale orange (4.9%). 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 431 board?
- Red is the largest measured colour at 15.6% 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 431 board is empty?
- The dark board background covers 10.9% 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 431 board laid out?
- The sample fills 77.5% of its 20x28 lattice and splits into 9 colours and 58 groups. The pieces are spread across the sampled rows (37.3% top, 37.1% middle, 25.6% bottom) rather than stacked in one band. The sample has no empty rows and no full-width corridor, so spare space is limited.
- What difficulty is Level 431 in Block Out?
- Level 431 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 431?
- 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 431?
- Most jams on Level 431 come from opening a second colour before the first is off the board. The sample holds 9 colours split into 58 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.
