Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 117 Walkthrough
Level 117 starts with 4, 8, and 10 top pockets over a cyan field and a large glass 17 counter. Keep the green arrow receiver mobile until the glass phase opens, then resolve the pink lock and key-marked L pieces in the sparse endgame.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 117 — Full Solution
- Clear the small yellow, purple, magenta, and blue receivers around the top 4/8/10 pockets, keeping the green arrow receiver mobile.
- Let the cyan 8 blocks feed the glass 17 counter and side pockets so the visible counters fall while the upper shelf opens.
- After the glass cover recedes, separate the pink lock-shaped L and key-marked pieces into side staging areas.
- Resolve the lock sequence as its counter changes from 2 to 1, then bring in the blue, cyan, green, and brown L-shaped receivers.
- Clear the final green and blue pieces after the key routes open; confetti and the Level 117 reward card confirm completion.
Colors in this level:
Yellow, Purple, Pink, Green, Blue, Cyan, Orange, Brown
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Parking a cyan L, green L, or pink lock-shaped receiver across the glass counter before the counter has dropped.
- Mixing the key-marked pieces into the same staging lane as the locked L and losing the route when the board changes phase.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 117 (quick clues)
- Use the green left-right arrow receiver as a bridge, not a permanent wall.
- Wait for the glass 17 counter to recede before committing the large pink, blue, cyan, or green L pieces.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- The top shelf carries yellow 4, pink 8, and green 10 pockets beside a purple pocket. Magenta bars, a green left-right arrow receiver, small yellow/purple/blue receivers, and a blue 8 pocket fill the upper lanes; cyan 8 blocks surround a glass 17 counter and cyan L shapes below.
- Goal
- Reduce the top 4/8/10 pockets and glass 17 counter, then use the exposed lock-and-key routes to clear the blue, pink, green, and brown endgame pieces.
- Opening
- Clear the small yellow, purple, magenta, and blue receivers around the top shelf while keeping the green arrow receiver mobile and the central glass lane open.
- Danger Zone
- The glass 17 counter is a blocker as well as a countdown. Parking an L-shaped receiver over it before it drops strands the key pieces on opposite sides.
- Mechanics
- A synchronized cyan counter phase with a large glass 17 cover changes into a key-and-lock phase where the pink lock counter visibly falls from 2 to 1 and L-shaped receivers become the remaining route.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the first milestone in Level 117?
Reduce the glass 17 counter while the 4/8/10 top pockets and cyan 8 blocks count down; the sparse lock-and-key layout appears only after that phase.
How should the pink lock be handled?
Keep its L-shaped footprint aside until the matching key route is available, then follow the visible counter change from 2 to 1 before placing the other large L pieces.
