Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 172 Walkthrough
Level 172 opens with a full pink receiver, then alternates the two top feeds through a large blue block, a large purple block, and narrow lower purple and blue footprints around the fixed pink star bar.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 172 — Full Solution
- Allow pink R1C1-C2, already displayed at 100%, to clear under the left reservoir.
- Drag blue R2-R3C1-C2 to the upper cyan feed at C4-C5 and wait for the displayed blue fill to reach 100% and disappear.
- Clear blue R3C3-C4 and the small right-edge blue cell, waiting after each release so sand can settle around the fixed R4 pink barrier.
- Move purple R1-R2C3-C4 into the left pink feed lane over C1-C2; wait through the visible partial fill near 60% until it reaches 100% and clears.
- Route purple R1-R2C5, purple R6-R7C4, and the stacked right-edge purple cells one at a time, waiting for each receiver to disappear before selecting the next.
- Bring blue R6-R7C1-C2 and the final small blue footprint into the cyan lane, then wait for the final purple receiver to reach 100% and confirm the Level 172 reward card.
Colors in this level:
Pink, Cyan, Blue, Purple
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Dragging the fixed R4C1-C4 star/striped barrier as if it were a receiver.
- Filling a narrow right-edge purple cell before the large purple route has opened the lower corridor.
- Moving the lower blue rectangle while the large upper blue receiver is still settling in the cyan lane.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 172 (quick clues)
- Use the two top feed lanes as separate jobs: cyan for the large blue pieces, pink for the large purple piece.
- Treat the R4 star/striped bar as fixed floor geometry and wait for sand to settle above it.
- Delay the narrow right-edge purple stack until the large purple and lower blue footprints have clear exits.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Read the board as five columns by seven visible row bands. Pink feeds C1-C2 and cyan feeds C4-C5. The upper pink receiver is R1C1-C2; blue occupies R2-R3C1-C2 and R6-R7C1-C2 plus R3C3-C4 and a small right-side cell; purple occupies R1-R2C3-C4, R1-R2C5, R6-R7C4, and the stacked right-edge cells. The fixed pink star/striped barrier spans R4C1-C4.
- Goal
- Clear the already-full pink opening, fill the large blue footprint through the cyan lane, then use the left pink/purple lane for the large and narrow purple receivers before the final blue cleanup.
- Opening
- Let pink R1C1-C2 clear first. Move blue R2-R3C1-C2 across to the upper C4-C5 feed path and wait for its full clear; the large purple receiver is moved only after the upper blue route has opened.
- Danger Zone
- The R4C1-C4 pink star/striped barrier is fixed. Do not park the large blue receiver on its star head, and do not fill the narrow right-edge purple pieces before the lower blue footprint has a clear cyan path.
- Mechanics
- Two reservoirs share the board. The source visibly shows the large blue target completing at the upper feed, then the large purple target filling through a partial state around 60% before reaching 100%; each disappearance opens the next lower corridor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which feeds control Level 172?
The left C1-C2 reservoir is pink and the right C4-C5 reservoir is cyan; the route uses pink for purple/pink targets and cyan for blue targets.
What is the long middle obstacle?
The pink star head and striped bar spanning R4C1-C4 are fixed board geometry; matching receivers are moved around it.
How does the source end?
The last lower purple/blue footprints clear, the board empties, and the source shows the Level 172 reward card with Continue.
