== Normal solution ==
Hints are given below when you expand the boxes.
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
!Spoiler: Hint 1 
|-
|This level's a little test of what you've learned about blocks so far... but it's not so bad if you're only trying to get past it. Have a close look at the bridges.
|}

{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
!Spoiler: Hint 2 
|-
|Have you noticed that you only need to complete the ONE bridge to beat the level? So you can largely ignore every block that isn't the O, N or E. So where are you going to build ONE?
|}

{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
!Spoiler: Hint 3 
|-
|That central structure with the fenced area on the bottom and the hole on the top looks important. Remember how you dealt with one of the puzzles in Slightly Low Basement, the one with the WHO ARE YOU bridge? 
|}

{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
!Spoiler: Hint 4 
|-
|If a block stops over a hole, it falls straight down. The blocks on the top floor are pointing straight at the big hole.
|}

{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
!Spoiler: Hint 5 
|-
|You will need to push blocks into the hole on the top floor so that they spell ONE on the bottom floor. (You can try not using the hole, and there's an achievement for managing it, but it's way harder than just using the hole!) Use the view square (the big red eye which you can walk over) to get a look at the bottom floor when you need to.
|}

{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
!Spoiler: Hint 6 
|-
|You can push the E east from its starting position, and the N west from its starting position. This will spell NE on the bottom going south. Where does the O need to go in order to fall into place?
|}

{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
!Spoiler: Hint 7 
|-
|If the O was south of the hole, it could hit the pillar in the middle of the north side of the hole and fall into place. You may need to push away another block to set this up.
|}

{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
!Spoiler: Hint 8 (solution) 
|-
|[[File:13-murky-basement-sol.png|thumb|Push the blocks like this (you'll need to push the W out of the way first). Inset is what your ONE structure should look like when you're done.]]
From their starting blockpads, get rid of the W (push it north or south), then push the O east, then north. Push the N and E as described in Hint 6. This closes the ONE bridge and lets you leave the level.
|}

== Present solution ==
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
! Spoiler: Hint 1 (present location) 
|-
| The present is on an isolated platform on the lower level, with bridges ONE TWO GOD leading to it.
|}

{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
! Spoiler: Hint 2 
|-
| You need to spell all three words at the same time. The O is shared among all three words.  Note where the O is positioned in each word.
|}

{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
! Spoiler: Hint 3 
|-
| TWO has to be spelled vertically above the O, with ONE and GOD spelled either:
 GOD
  N
  E

or

 G
 ONE
 D
|}

{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
! Spoiler: Hint 4 
|-
| It is not necessary to move blocks around manually in the chamber below once they've fallen in the pit.
|}

{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
! Spoiler: Hint 5 (solution)  
|-
|[[File:13-murky-basement-present.png|thumb|Diagram of this present solution. Orange arrows are what you have to do to write the ONE (as in the main solution); blue arrows are the extra steps for TWO and GOD.]]
The solution is the first layout shown in hint 3. Most letters can be moved into place relatively easily:
* G: push east, south to put in northwest of chamber.
* D: push east to put in northeast of chamber.
* N: push west to put in center of chamber.
* E: push east to put in south of chamber.
* O: push W out of the way, then push O east, north to put in north of chamber.
(do above in any order, then:)
* W: smash (reset) W, then push it east, north to put it on top of O.
* T: push west, north to put it on top of W.
This should form all three words and will let you walk to the present.

==Extras==
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
! Spoiler: Achievements 
|-
| There is '''1''' [[GK1 Achievements|achievement]] available for this level:
* Murky Tops: ''Beat Murky Basement keeping all blocks on top floor.''
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
! Spoiler: Hint 1 
|-
| You don't need to spell GOD or TWO for present access, you just need to spell ONE.
|}
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
! Spoiler: Hint 2 
|-
| The N is most restricted where it can move.  You can't push west without it going in the pit.  You can't push it north or south because of the nearby pillar.  You can't use any spacer blocks to help.
|}
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
! Spoiler: Hint 3 
|-
| Therefore you need to spell ONE along the east fence.
|}
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
! Spoiler: Hint 4 
|-
| Spelling ONE: 
* Push O north, east into the corner.
* Push N east, north, making ON.
* Push the GED blocks all north, then west.  Push W north then west (spelling GEDW), which will be a backstop for E.  Smash the E then push it north, east, south, east, north, spelling ONE.
Exit the level to get the achievement.
