Block Out: Level 184 Solution and Move Sequence Guide

To clear Level 184 in Block Out, your immediate goal is to vacate the shortest stack on the board to create an open anchor lane while keeping at least two buffer spaces empty. Moving surface blocks without an anchor lane quickly clogs your temporary holding spots, leading to an unrecoverable softlock.

Move Execution Sequence

Level 184 requires resolving layers in deliberate order. Do not combine matching surface blocks unless the transfer either reveals a required foundation block or directly empties a column.

Phase	Primary Objective	Risk to Avoid
1. Surface Consolidation	Pair adjacent top blocks of matching colors.	Filling holding bays before uncovering base layers.
2. Anchor Lane Creation	Fully clear the shallowest column.	Splitting identical colors across separate columns.
3. Foundation Retrieval	Route buried blocks into matching target columns.	Trapping singleton colors in buffer slots.
4. Set Completion	Fill dedicated columns with their final matching pieces.	Making transfers that block remaining buried colors.

Follow these concrete steps to progress through the board:

Scan the top layer for duplicate colors: Identify columns with identical surface blocks resting over single blockers. Clearing these duplicates removes two units of height in one move sequence.
Empty the shortest column: Transfer the top blockers into matching sets or open buffer spaces until one column is completely clear. This serves as your reusable anchor lane.
Uncover buried foundation pieces: Use the anchor lane to hold upper pieces temporarily while you expose deep foundation blocks.
Complete high-count color sets first: Whenever foundation pieces are exposed, direct them to the column that already holds the most pieces of that color. Completing a full color column removes those pieces from play and creates another permanent open space.

Buffer Management Rules

Buffer slots are emergency temporary transit spaces, not permanent storage. Overfilling the holding bay is the most common failure point on Level 184.

Maintain a two-slot reserve: Always leave at least two buffer slots empty. Multi-step transfers require setting intermediary blocks aside; working with only one open slot prevents these maneuvers.
Require an immediate exit path: Never deposit a block into the buffer unless the very next move places another block into a completed column or frees up an entire lane.
Avoid color fragmentation: Never divide a single color group across two separate incomplete columns. Consolidate matching pieces into one stack so you do not waste extra buffer moves recombining them later.

If the buffer fills to a single open space with no immediate match or empty lane available, restart the level to reset the board.
