Block Out Level 1064 Walkthrough: Buffer and Sorting Guide

To solve Level 1064 in Block Out, identify the column that requires the fewest transfers to empty out completely and clear it immediately to establish an open buffer lane. In Block Out, blocks can only be placed into an entirely empty column or stacked on top of a matching color with available capacity. Level 1064 starts with fragmented color bands scattered across several stacks, meaning uncoordinated moves will quickly clog the board. Once you create your first empty column, consolidate matching top pieces to dig out trapped base tiles without contaminating your buffer space.

Buffer Rules for Level 1064

An empty column provides full placement flexibility, but using it as an unorganized holding space leads directly to failed attempts. Manage your open lane with these constraints:

Keep the buffer single-colored: Transfer only one uniform color group into the empty column at a time when exposing an underlying tile.
Never stack mixed colors in an empty slot: Placing two different colors into a cleared column converts an open workspace into a blocked stack.
Return the column to empty quickly: Once the revealed color from another column is moved into its matching home, return the temporary block to its primary set to reopen the buffer.
Consolidate one set at a time: Focus on filling a single four-block column to completion rather than spreading multiple incomplete colors across the board.

Phase-by-Phase Clearing Strategy

Progress through the level by grouping matching exposed pieces before attempting to extract deeper layers.

Phase	Main Objective	Critical Mistake to Avoid
Opening	Clear the shallowest column to secure a buffer lane	Scattering mixed singles across multiple columns
Early Transition	Merge exposed identical colors to uncover lower tiers	Burying a rare color under an unrelated tile
Mid-Game	Assemble full 4-block stacks to lock in slots	Splitting partially consolidated groups
Endgame	Shift pure color stacks into completed columns	Transferring blocks without checking destination space

Early Moves and Layer Uncovering

Begin by scanning the topmost layer across all columns. If two stacks share the same color on top, merge them into the column that either has greater remaining capacity or already contains that color lower down. Chaining these immediate pairings reduces the footprint of scattered singles and exposes the second layer of blocks beneath them.

Only lift an off-color top piece if doing so immediately reveals a tile that can be transferred onto an existing match. Shuffling pieces without uncovering a workable move consumes board space without advancing the puzzle.

Mid-Game Consolidation and Preventing Deadlocks

As columns fill up with two-block and three-block groupings, the board becomes congested. A circular deadlock occurs when Column A needs a color trapped in Column B, but Column B cannot be accessed without moving pieces into an already full Column A.

To maintain operational space through the mid-game:

Count extraction depth before moving: Calculate the number of transfers needed to uncover a buried block. If extracting it requires more empty slots than are currently available, do not start the sequence.
Preserve one relief column: Keep at least one column with two or more open slots until you are ready to complete your first full stack.
Prioritize scattered colors: If multiple colors have three blocks assembled while one color remains split across separate columns, clear the path for the split segments first.

Completing two full color columns permanently frees up board real estate. Use the reclaimed capacity to transfer the remaining single-color groups into place and clear Level 1064.
