Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 189 Walkthrough
Level 189 splits magenta-white and orange-cyan-green-yellow reservoirs around a star-capped striped gate. Clear the small right cluster, complete the three-key lock-3 chain, and reserve the final right outlet for the blue L receiver.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 189 — Full Solution
- Fill the top-right yellow and green singles in their current r1-r2 catch cells; wait for both 100% clears and the right counter to fall from 4 to 3.
- Move the purple square and remaining green singles away from the right outlet, then wait for the orange, cyan, green, yellow layers to settle without crossing the center gate.
- Clear the left purple horizontals and the white vertical receiver as the magenta-over-white reservoir opens; wait for the left count to reach 1 and the lock-3 bar to appear.
- Place the first, second, and third red key-marked receivers in their visible pockets, waiting after each key fill for the key icon and clear animation.
- Move the large purple rectangle to r4c5-r5c7 only after the green side feed has a free row; wait for its purple fill to reach 100% and disappear.
- Fill the green bar across the c5-c7 side chute and clear the small green pieces around the central gate; this exposes the paired cyan and orange/brown lower pieces.
- Route the cyan pair through the lower-right cells, then place the orange singles and brown L in the lower openings while keeping the final blue L cells free.
- After the lock-3 bar is released and the late red pieces clear, place the blue L under the right outlet, wait for 100%, and stop at the empty-board SAND BLOCKS confetti transition.
Colors in this level:
Purple, Pink, White, Orange, Cyan, Green, Yellow, Red, Blue, Brown
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not place the large purple rectangle across the striped gate before the green side stream is clear.
- Do not use the lower-right blue L footprint before the cyan, orange, and brown pieces have settled; it is the final blue catch area.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 189 (quick clues)
- Finish the small right cluster before the large purple rectangle; the right outlet changes as each top layer is exposed.
- Reserve the final blue L cells until after the red key animations and the late green side feed are complete.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Use a 7-column by 9-row split-board map. The left S0 reservoir covers c1-c2 with magenta over white; the right S1 reservoir covers c5-c7 with orange, cyan, green, and yellow layers and a purple side outlet. A fixed green striped gate with star cap occupies the center around r4-r7. The opening right cluster has small yellow, green, purple footprints at r1-r3. Later visible footprints include the left lock bar marked 3 across r3, a large purple rectangle r4c5-r5c7, green bar r6c5-r6c7, blue L in the lower-left, brown L in the lower-right, and paired cyan and orange squares in the bottom rows.
- Goal
- Empty the right top cluster, expose the left magenta/white layer, and release the three-key lock bar without closing the striped gate. The final blue L must be placed under the right blue outlet and reaches 100% immediately before the source transitions to confetti.
- Opening
- Fill the top-right yellow and green singles and wait for their 100% clears; the side counts step 2→1 and 4→3. Let the four-color right reservoir settle before moving the first large purple receiver.
- Danger Zone
- The star-capped center gate divides the board. A large purple rectangle across r4c5-r5c7 before the green side feed clears blocks the right outlet, while an early lower-right blue L leaves no landing area for the final right blue stream.
- Mechanics
- Two layered reservoirs, split gravity routes, the fixed striped gate, a lock bar marked 3, red key-marked receivers, the late green side feed, and the final blue 100% clear are all visible.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 3-marked bar mean in Level 189?
The video shows a lock bar marked 3 and three red key-marked receiver events; the bar is kept closed until those visible key events are handled.
What is the last observed placement?
The last blue L goes under the right blue outlet, reaches 100%, and the board transitions to SAND BLOCKS; no later reward-card action is inferred.
