Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 12 Walkthrough
Level 12 packs four blue bars above alternating yellow and green receivers, with one oversized red receiver waiting in the bottom pocket. Work left to right through the two blue islands, then raise red only after the middle crossing lane is empty.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 12 — Full Solution
- Drag the left long yellow receiver into the upper-left catch cells and drain the first yellow pocket.
- Move the adjacent green receiver into the cleared left seam and let the green strip fill it.
- Drop the leftmost blue bar beneath the left blue island and clear it before shifting another receiver across.
- Slide the center-left yellow receiver into the middle row to collect the yellow sand released beside that island.
- Move the short center green receiver into the same opening and wait for its 100% clear.
- Bring the second blue bar under the remaining left-island edge and remove the blue residue.
- On the right half, place the center-right yellow bar under the right yellow channel, then clear its neighboring green receiver.
- Move the third blue bar under the left edge of the right blue island and let it disappear.
- Clear the final long green and yellow receivers along the lower-right bank through the empty center row.
- Place the fourth blue bar under the last blue island residue and wait until no blue remains.
- Use the outer catch cells for the final green and yellow grains, keeping the center completely open.
- Lift the four-column red receiver into the full-width central catch position and hold it under the red cap until the board clears.
Colors in this level:
Red, Green, Yellow, Blue
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using the bottom red receiver as early storage and trapping short green pieces on opposite sides.
- Sliding a second blue bar across before the previous bar has disappeared.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 12 (quick clues)
- Clear a blue bar as soon as its island edge becomes exposed; its vacancy is the crossing space for the next short receiver.
- Leave the large red receiver untouched until the final colored grains at both outer edges are gone.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- An eight-column upper box contains a full-width red cap, a thin green band, and a yellow field surrounding two rectangular blue islands. Four blue two-cell receivers span the first receiver row; short and long yellow/green pieces alternate below; a four-column red receiver occupies the centered bottom pocket.
- Goal
- Resolve yellow, green, and both blue islands while preserving the central crossing row. The large red receiver is the final catch for the broad red cap.
- Opening
- Move the left yellow bar under the first yellow pocket, clear the neighboring green receiver, then bring the leftmost blue bar beneath the exposed blue island. The same cycle advances across the bank.
- Danger Zone
- Raising the large red block before the small bank clears seals the only route between left and right. Keep it in the bottom pocket until no blue island remains.
- Mechanics
- Equal two-cell blue receivers form a movable divider above an alternating bank of one- and two-cell yellow/green receivers. The final red receiver has a four-column footprint.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should the large red receiver move in Level 12?
Only after all four blue bars and the remaining yellow/green receivers have cleared; then the center footprint is wide enough for red.
Why solve the bank from left to right?
Each blue-island clear opens the horizontal cells needed to move the next yellow or green receiver toward the outlet.
