How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 1 — Full Solution
- Keep the red 2x2 receiver parked at R5-6/C3-4 while you open the left side.
- Drag the blue receiver from R5-6/C1-2 to R1-2/C1-2 directly below the blue chamber.
- Wait until all blue grains settle, the meter rises from 37% to 100%, and the blue receiver disappears.
- Drag the red receiver from R5-6/C3-4 to R1-2/C3-4 below the red chamber.
- Let the red sand finish falling until the receiver reaches 100% and clears, triggering the empty-board celebration.
Colors in this level:
Blue, Red
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Moving the red receiver under the left blue chamber and blocking blue's only aligned landing.
- Dragging blue away before its meter reaches 100% and the source chamber is empty.
- Treating the 04:00 countdown as a prescribed number of moves.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 1 (quick clues)
- Match each 2x2 receiver to the two-column chamber directly above it.
- Wait for blue to disappear before starting the red collection.
- The blue block already contains 37%, so its first fill completes quickly.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Below the two source chambers is a four-column by six-row grid. Blue sand occupies the chamber above C1-2 and red sand the chamber above C3-4; the blue 2x2 receiver starts at R5-6/C1-2 at 37%, while the red 2x2 starts at R5-6/C3-4 at 0%.
- Goal
- Collect and clear the left blue chamber first, then empty the right red chamber into the remaining receiver until both source boxes and the lower grid are empty.
- Opening
- Move the blue square from R5-6/C1-2 to R1-2/C1-2 and wait for 37% to become 100%; do not move red until the blue clear animation vacates the upper grid.
- Danger Zone
- Parking red at R1-2/C1-2 puts it under the blue chamber and consumes the only correct 2x2 landing for the prefilled blue receiver.
- Mechanics
- Receivers snap to grid cells, accept their matching falling sand, and disappear at 100%; the 04:00 display is a countdown rather than the moves value.
