Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 174 Walkthrough
Level 174 is controlled by simultaneous feed counters—20 green, 15 blue, 12 purple, 7 yellow, and paired 5 markers—so the safe route preserves the central star column while opening the right yellow, blue L, and final green corridors.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 174 — Full Solution
- Match the accessible upper yellow, red, blue, purple, and green receivers to their side/top feeds and wait for the first counter reductions from 12/20/15/7.
- Use the top purple feed on the small central purple and red footprints while the top count falls through the single digits; leave the fixed red star column and two 5-marked lanes untouched.
- Feed the upper/right yellow receiver and lower yellow vertical target from the right lane. Wait for the right counter to reach 1 and the yellow target to clear, opening the right edge.
- Move the blue L-shaped footprint through the right/middle lane into the left blue feed path after the yellow corridor opens; wait as the left blue counter continues to reduce.
- Drain the remaining top purple pieces, then the left green receivers as the green counter falls through 4 to 2. Keep the lower green L out of the crossover until this phase is complete.
- Fill the lower-left green L to 100%, then route the remaining yellow/blue small cells through the open side feeds and wait for the empty board and Level 174 completion animation.
Colors in this level:
Purple, Green, Blue, Red, Yellow
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Reading the 20/15/12/7 labels as move counts instead of feed-release counters.
- Dragging the central red star/striped column or the two 5-marked countdown lanes.
- Parking the long yellow, blue L, or green L across the only crossover before the right and top counts have released.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 174 (quick clues)
- Let every counter decrement finish before the next drag; the number is evidence that the matching lane has released.
- Keep the fixed red star column and both central 5 markers out of the movable receiver order.
- Reserve the lower-left green L for the late phase after the right yellow and blue L corridors are open.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Read the board as six columns by eight visible row bands. Purple enters from the top at C3-C4, green from the left at R1, blue from the left around R5, red from the right around R5, and yellow from the right at R1. Opening counter labels are top 12, left green 20, left blue 15, right yellow 7, plus two central vertical 5 markers. The central fixed red star/striped column divides the purple/orange lanes; yellow vertical, red vertical, blue L, green L, and many small purple/red/blue/yellow receivers occupy the surrounding footprints.
- Goal
- Use matching feeds to reduce each counter and expose the crossover, then fill the right yellow target, the blue L, and the lower-left green L until every receiver clears.
- Opening
- Work the accessible small receivers while the visible labels fall 12/20/15/7, then 11/19/14/6 and 10/18/13/5. Keep both central 5-marked lanes and the fixed red star column in place while the top purple feed opens the center.
- Danger Zone
- The fixed red star/striped column at C4-C5 is a divider. A long yellow or blue footprint parked across its lower mouth can block the right red/yellow feed; delay the lower green L until the top and right counters are nearly exhausted.
- Mechanics
- Counters are feed-release gates, not moves. The source visibly steps the top counter 12 → 1, green 20 → 2, yellow 7 → 1, blue 15 → 8, and the paired central 5 markers while receiver footprints disappear and new lanes open.

The source shows top purple 12, left green 20, left blue 15, right yellow 7, and two central vertical markers at 5.
Which receiver is the late large target?
The lower-left green L-shaped receiver is held for the late phase; the source shows it filling to 100% after the top and right corridors have opened.
What does the source show after the last fill?
The remaining receivers disappear, the board becomes empty, and the video transitions to the Level 174 completion animation.
