Sand Blocks level guide
Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 13 Walkthrough
Level 13 turns a red-yellow-blue sailboat picture into a footprint puzzle. Clear the small receivers around the first central spill, use horizontal bars for the broad stripes, and delay the two-by-two red corner blocks until the tall center route is open.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 13 — Full Solution
- Move the small red receiver from the lower-right cluster into the first center opening and collect the loose red grains.
- Shift the nearby yellow square beneath the yellow seam beside the blue sail and let it clear.
- Lift a small blue square into the top-center opening for the first blue fall.
- Move the tall upper-right yellow receiver beneath the right yellow edge and clear that pocket.
- Slide the red middle-left horizontal bar across the open top row to receive the broad red stripe.
- Bring the upper blue receiver under the remaining blue sail material and let it disappear.
- Move the next left yellow square to the sand line for the band exposed by the blue clear.
- Raise the second red horizontal bar into the top catch row and collect the next red stripe.
- Shuttle the tall blue center receiver upward beneath the remaining blue wedge, keeping its one-by-three footprint in the central lane.
- Move the right yellow vertical receiver below the right yellow slope and wait until that slope stops.
- Raise the left two-by-two red receiver into the upper-left catch area and clear the red wedge without covering the right lane.
- Shift the surviving blue vertical receiver to the upper-right edge for the last blue grains.
- Move the tall yellow receiver across to the left residual yellow wedge and clear it.
- Finish with the last two-by-two red receiver beneath the remaining red patch and wait for the empty-grid transition.
Colors in this level:
Red, Yellow, Blue
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Moving a bottom red square to the top before the one-by-three blue receiver has used the center lane.
- Assuming the sailboat drains in flat color bands instead of checking which separated edge has just become exposed.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 13 (quick clues)
- Choose the smallest matching footprint that can reach the current spill; the large red squares are finishers, not opening tools.
- Wait for each picture stripe to settle because the next exposed color can switch from the center to an outer edge.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A five-column receiver grid sits below a sand picture of a blue sailboat on alternating red and yellow bands. One-cell squares fill the top mosaic; a tall yellow receiver starts at upper-right; red/blue bars cross the middle; two red two-by-two blocks sit in the bottom corners; and tall blue and yellow receivers occupy the center and right lanes.
- Goal
- Open the central column with small red, yellow, and blue pieces, then clear the broad stripes with bars. The final left wedge is collected by a tall yellow receiver and the last large red square.
- Opening
- Clear a small red receiver beneath the first loose red grains, follow with a yellow square at the exposed seam, then place blue beneath the sail residue. This opens the vertical route before any corner block moves.
- Danger Zone
- Either red two-by-two corner block will occupy four crossing cells if raised early, cutting off the tall blue center receiver and the right yellow column. Save both large blocks for the last third.
- Mechanics
- The sand is a multicolor picture with separated exposed edges. Receiver footprints range from one-cell squares to horizontal bars, one-by-three columns, and two-by-two blocks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are the large red receivers delayed in Level 13?
Their two-by-two footprints block the only route used by the tall blue and yellow receivers, so the small and narrow shapes must clear first.
What is the main ordering rule for the sailboat sand?
Follow the currently exposed edge with the smallest receiver that reaches it, then use long bars only when a broad stripe is fully open.
