To solve Level 792 in Block Out, focus on emptying a single column immediately to create an open buffer tube, then use that working space to consolidate matching surface colors and expose trapped base layers. Never fill an open buffer with mixed colors without an immediate exit plan, as maintaining board mobility is necessary to prevent deadlocks.
Opening Priorities: Create Your First Buffer Tube
Level 792 begins with heavily fractured columns where nearly every tube holds alternating block layers. Casual moves in the opening turns quickly exhaust your available space.
Before making your first transfer, survey the board to identify which column can be emptied in the fewest moves:
- Merge Exposed Surface Matches: Transfer top blocks onto identical exposed colors in columns that have open capacity above them. This immediately frees space in the originating tube.
- Clear the Shallowest Column: Direct your opening moves toward emptying the tube with the fewest distinct color layers. An entirely empty tube serves as your primary staging area.
- Keep Matching Pieces Together: Do not split matching color blocks across multiple tubes unless doing so directly uncovers a piece you can match immediately.
- Uncover Buried Pairs: Place non-matching cap blocks into your open buffer only when that move exposes a color segment that can transfer directly onto an existing stack.
Buffer Tube Management
An empty tube provides the mobility needed to sort Level 792, but mistiming its use will freeze the board. Treat an empty slot as a transit lane rather than a permanent storage bin.
| Action | Practical Effect | Board State Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Depositing a single mixed block | Temporarily occupies the slot | Disables the buffer until transferred |
| Stacking identical colors together | Commits the slot to one color | Builds toward a completed column |
| Shifting intermediate blocks back and forth | Consumes turns without clearing space | Increases the risk of circular deadlocks |
| Cycling cap blocks to free a base piece | Temporarily uses the slot | Unlocks a trapped layer and restores flow |
If you must move a block into an empty tube, ensure you have a planned sequence of two or three follow-up transfers to either clear the slot again or commit that tube entirely to that color.
Unlocking Trapped Base Layers
The primary challenge of Level 792 lies in the bottom segments of each tube, which are buried beneath contrasting colors. To reach them, clear away upper layers methodically.
Find the bottom block color that appears most frequently across the tops of other columns. Prioritize stripping the caps off that specific stack first. When moving intermediate pieces, verify that your placement does not permanently trap another color needed elsewhere. If a move covers a required segment without an immediate way to retrieve it, pause and route pieces through a different column instead.
Endgame Execution: Sealing Columns Without Trapping Pieces
The final phase begins once two full tubes are sorted. While completing full columns organizes the puzzle, it also eliminates active board space and reduces your remaining margins.
Watch for orphaned blocks before committing your final moves. An orphaned block is a stray segment trapped beneath another color after all matching counterparts have already been gathered or sealed. Check every column before dropping the final segments into a completed tube to confirm that no matching blocks remain stranded underneath. Once all identical colors are accessible, shift the remaining pieces into their matching tubes to finish Level 792.

Nice guide. I am checking the other Block Out articles next.
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
This saved me time in the early game.
Good guide for Block Out players. The early game part was useful.
