How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 164 — Full Solution
- Let the blue/pink/green feed settle in the U reservoir, then move the white near-complete bar to C2-C3/R6 and wait for 94% to reach 100%.
- Place the black key square from C2/R3 in the central release cell C4/R4; wait for the key animation before touching the green lock.
- Drag the large green receiver marked 1 to C4-C5/R5-R7 under the U outlet and wait for the lock to clear.
- Move the small purple and pink receivers from C6-C7/R5 into the released center in the video order, pausing after each clear so the brown lock does not take the wrong layer.
- Use the black key bar at C1/R4 and the black key square at C3/R7 to open the remaining route, leaving C4-C6/R8-R10 clear for the chest release.
- Only after its key is visible, move the brown 5-lock at C7-C8/R7 and let the lower purple chest reduce from 3.
- Clear the upper orange/yellow verticals and the lower blue/yellow/orange/purple receivers around C1-C8/R9-R12, waiting after the final chest-side catch.
- Stop when the empty board reaches the observed SAND BLOCKS confetti completion.
Colors in this level:

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Placing yellow under the U's right white wedge blocks the central outlet and leaves the 94% receiver incomplete.
- Opening the brown 5-lock before the green 1-lock has released sends the lower flow into a closed chest lane.
- Using the bottom chest as a parking area before the side keys clear hides the lower receiver footprints needed by the final sequence.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 164 (quick clues)
- Finish the 94% white receiver before moving either large lock receiver.
- The lock order is visible: key/green 1 first, brown 5 second, chest 3 last.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Use an 8-column by 12-row map. A blue/pink/green feed falls into a white U-shaped reservoir spanning C3-C6/R1-R3; yellow is pooled at the U bottom and a white wedge occupies its right edge. Side receivers include orange vertical C1/R1-R3, blue squares C2/R1-R2 and C2/R3, black key square C2/R3, purple square C2/R2, yellow vertical C7/R1-R3, orange vertical C8/R1-R3, red L C7-C8/R4-R6, green bar C6-C7/R4, large green 1-lock C4-C5/R5-R7, white 94% bar C2-C3/R6, black key C3/R7, purple/pink squares C6-C7/R5, and brown 5-lock C7-C8/R7. The purple chest occupies C1-C8/R8-R12 and starts at 3.
- Goal
- Complete the 94% white bar while the U outlet remains stable, use the key pieces to open the green 1-lock and brown 5-lock in order, then drain the 3-count chest and the final side pieces.
- Opening
- Wait for the central U to settle, drag the white bar from C1-C2/R5 into C2-C3/R6 to finish its visible 94%, then place the first black key square into C4/R4. The green lock is not safe until the key animation is complete.
- Danger Zone
- A yellow vertical placed under C5-C6/R3 blocks the U outlet against the white wedge and can strand the 94% bar. Filling the brown 5-lock before the green 1-lock releases also consumes the lower chest's only open landing row.
- Mechanics
- The video proves Hard Level presentation, a central U-shaped layered feed, an observed 94% receiver, green key/lock 1, brown lock 5, bottom counter 3, and sequential 100% clears.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the first verified target in Level 164?
The white horizontal receiver already reads 94%; the video finishes that receiver before the green 1-lock sequence.
Why is the chest counter not written as moves?
The source displays 3 on the purple chest, but it does not define the symbol as a move count; this guide preserves it as a board counter and keeps moves null.
