How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 162 — Full Solution
- Drag the large green square (C6/R3-R5) to the C3-C4/R1-R3 catch below the reservoir; wait for the green layer to drain and the receiver to clear.
- Move the orange receiver into the same C3-C4/R1-R3 catch; wait for orange to settle and for the 1-marked lock to release.
- Place the purple key bar from C1-C2/R3 into C3-C4/R2-R3, then shift the blue bar from C3-C4/R3 to C1-C2/R2-R3, waiting after both clears.
- Route the purple square and orange vertical through C3-C5/R4-R6, keeping the central arrow lane open between drags.
- Catch the blue square at C1-C2/R4-R5 and clear the magenta square at C3-C4/R4-R5; wait for the lower side pockets to become reachable.
- Move the yellow receiver into C1-C2/R6-R7 and the red receiver into C5-C6/R6-R7 one at a time, leaving a settling pause between the side catches.
- Use the released central route for the remaining purple and orange pieces and reduce the lower chest from 4, then clear the final yellow and red remnants.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Catching orange before green has drained hides the first layer and prevents the 1-lock sequence from starting cleanly.
- Parking the blue square over C3-C4/R6-R7 seals the arrow lane and strands the purple key receiver.
- Filling both side pockets at once leaves no free cell for the chest-release flow.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 162 (quick clues)
- The green square is the opener: do not substitute a blue or purple piece for the first top catch.
- Keep C3-C4/R6-R7 clear until the first key disappears and the orange lock opens.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Map the compact puzzle as C1-C6/R1-R10 with a separate full-width purple chest below. The orange-over-green reservoir sits under C3-C4/R1. Blue bars occupy C1-C2/R2 and C3-C4/R3; the orange lock is C3-C4/R2 marked 1. Purple key footprints are C1-C2/R3, C3-C4/R4-R5, and C5/R2-R3; the large green square is C6/R3-R5; blue square C1-C2/R4-R5 and orange vertical C5/R4-R5 flank the center. Yellow and red source pockets sit at C1-C2/R6-R7 and C5-C6/R6-R7; the chest below starts at 4.
- Goal
- Catch the top green layer first, then the orange layer, release the 1-lock, and only then use the side yellow and red pockets to reduce the lower chest. The video ends on the Level 162 New Feature card at 55% and Rewards 40.
- Opening
- Move the C6/R3-R5 green square into the C3-C4/R1-R3 top catch and wait for green to disappear. Reuse that catch for the orange receiver only after the reservoir is visibly orange; then bring the C1-C2/R3 purple key bar into the central opening.
- Danger Zone
- The C3-C4/R6-R7 arrow lane is shared by the key chain and the chest release. Placing the blue square there before the orange 1-lock opens traps the purple key receiver; taking orange before green settles makes the two layers compete in the same catch.
- Mechanics
- The source proves a single feed with green-then-orange layering, a key-marked receiver, an orange lock marked 1, several 100% clears, side yellow and red pockets, and a lower chest counter beginning at 4.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Level 162 start with green rather than orange?
The opening reservoir visibly has green in front of orange; the green square must clear first so the orange layer can reach the same top catch without being blocked.
What does the lower 4 represent?
The video shows a purple lower chest with a visible 4 counter, but it does not label that symbol as moves; this guide treats it only as a staged board counter.
