How the Wooden Blocks works
Wooden obstacles show a hit counter and must be hit that many times before they break.
It is one of the core obstacles you meet through the early and mid levels, usually alongside plain colored blocks and simple gates.
How to play around it
Break the lowest-count wood first, because every hit spent on heavy wood wastes moves you need elsewhere.
Like every obstacle in the game, the wooden blocks never makes a level impossible. Every board can be finished without boosters, so if a route feels blocked, the answer is usually the order in which you clear the other colors, not the obstacle itself.
Where you meet it
The Wooden Blocks typically starts appearing around Level 85 and stays part of the rotation from that point on. Boards that feature it become more frequent as the level numbers climb.
