How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 182 — Full Solution
- Drag the upper-left purple source into the upper blue/purple receivers around R1C3 and center star R4C4; wait for each 100% clear.
- Clear black R2C2,R3C2, white key receiver R2C1, and white L R3C1,R4C1,R4C2; wait for the purple vertical barrier to release.
- Route the yellow L source R0C5-R1C6 into its matching target, then feed green R2C6,R3C6,R3C5; wait for purple lock-1 R2C5 to open and disappear.
- Drag blue source R5C6-R5C7 through the center seam and hold orange cross R7C1-R9C3 until its key appears; wait for blue lock-1 R8C6 to release.
- Send the lower orange/red cluster R7C5-R9C6 and remaining purple/blue pieces into matching footprints; wait for all 100% clears and stop at the observed Level 182 SAND BLOCKS success overlay.

Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- With R1C1 at the upper-left playable cell, the purple source is R0C1-R0C2, blue is R1C3, yellow is the L-shaped R0C5-R1C6, and purple lock-1 is R2C5. Green is R2C6,R3C6,R3C5; the left key receiver is R2C1, black is R2C2,R3C2, and white L is R3C1,R4C1,R4C2. A purple striped barrier runs R1C4-R4C4 with center star R4C4; the horizontal seam is R5C2-R5C5. Blue enters at R5C6-R5C7, the orange cross source is R7C1-R9C3, and the lower orange/red cluster is R7C5-R9C6 with blue lock-1 at R8C6.
- Goal
- Clear the upper purple/blue/green, black, and white footprints, expose the orange key, release both lock-1 cells, and finish the lower orange/red receivers.
- Opening
- Work the upper-left purple and blue pieces, then black R2C2,R3C2 and white L R3C1,R4C1,R4C2; keep the central barrier and locks open until the key source settles.
- Danger Zone
- Purple barrier R1C4-R4C4, horizontal seam R5C2-R5C5, purple lock-1 R2C5, and blue lock-1 R8C6 divide the route; the orange cross is the visible key source.
- Mechanics
- Two lock-1 receivers are released by a key-bearing orange cross source. The central seam must clear before the lower orange/red and blue footprints can reach 100%.
