How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 157 — Full Solution
- Drag the green bar r4c5-r4c6 directly under the right green outlet and wait for its visible 2 count to clear.
- Move the blue bar r4c1-r4c2 into the left blue outlet and wait for the blue layer to settle and disappear.
- Clear the purple bar r3c3-r3c4, then shuttle the orange vertical receiver r1-r3,c3 into the open middle column without covering either shutter.
- Use the exposed orange and purple cells around r2c3-r3c5 to shorten the 8 and 4 shutters; pause after every clear so the top feed can finish falling.
- Place the remaining orange vertical pieces through c3-c4 and clear the lower orange pair at r6c3-r6c4, keeping r5c5 open for the green square.
- Route the large purple receiver through the right feed, then the blue square through the left lane as the shutters shorten and the central board becomes empty.
- Finish the bottom-left purple bar r6c1-r6c2, the lower orange verticals, and the right green square; wait after the last long orange drag for settling.
- Let the last purple/green receiver reach 100%, wait for it to disappear, and confirm the Sand Blocks celebration transition.
Colors in this level:
Orange, Purple, Blue, Green, Yellow, Brown
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not leave the orange vertical and purple center bar in the same shared passage while trying to fill the right 4 shutter.
- Do not park the lower orange pair in r6c3-r6c4 before the side outlets have released their blue and green layers.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 157 (quick clues)
- Drain green on the right and blue on the left before committing the orange center column.
- Wait for each shutter number to settle before moving a vertical orange receiver; the lower pieces need the released cell, not just a matching color.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- The six-column rectangle has orange and purple reservoirs above c1 and c6. The left shutter spans r1-r3,c1-c2 with 8; the right spans r1-r3,c5-c6 with 4. The center contains an orange vertical receiver r1-r3,c3, a blue square r1-r2,c4, a purple cell r2c4, and a purple bar r3c3-r3c4. A blue bar is at r4c1-r4c2, a green 2 receiver is at r4c5-r4c6 beside the green outlet, and the lower rows hold green, orange, purple, and blue footprints.
- Goal
- Open both side outlets without sealing the center, reduce the 8 and 4 shutters in stages, and use the freed middle column for the orange vertical pieces. Finish with the remaining purple, orange, blue, and green receivers after both feeds close.
- Opening
- Catch the green r4c5-r4c6 bar at the right green outlet and wait for its 2 count. Move the blue r4c1-r4c2 bar into the left outlet, clear r3c3-r3c4 purple, and only then shuttle the orange r1-r3,c3 receiver into the center.
- Danger Zone
- The r1-r3,c3 orange vertical receiver and r3c3-r3c4 purple bar share the only middle passage. Leaving either across the outlet-side lane while filling the 4 shutter traps the bottom orange pair and leaves the green outlet blocked.
- Mechanics
- Two top feeds, paired 8/4 count shutters, a visible green 2 side outlet, repeated clear-to-open stages, and a tall empty-center finish define the level.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which receivers are the safe opening catches?
The green r4c5-r4c6 receiver at the right outlet and the blue r4c1-r4c2 bar at the left outlet are the first safe catches.
Why does the orange vertical receiver wait?
It occupies the middle passage shared by the two shutters; moving it before the purple center bar clears prevents the lower orange pieces from settling.
How does the level end?
The long center empties, the last purple/green receivers clear, and the source video enters the Sand Blocks celebration screen.
