Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 201 Walkthrough
Level 201 introduces the Platform: six first-stage receivers surround a cyan two-by-two counter, and clearing them makes a second field of blue, white, yellow, green, black, and red pits rise. Empty the first reservoir in color order, let the platform vanish, then route the remaining feed through the raised shapes.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 201 — Full Solution
- Move the bottom white horizontal receiver beneath the white reservoir edge, then set the blue vertical receiver under blue; wait for both layers to drain and the platform count to fall.
- Center the first purple square under the exposed purple stream, let it reach 100%, then clear the black horizontal receiver when black reaches the outlet.
- Use the second purple square for the later purple spill and finish the yellow vertical after it; those two clears take the cyan platform from its late 2 state to zero, so keep the middle clear while the second field ascends.
- In the raised field, catch black with the short black bar and white with the tall white bar, then place the right red vertical receiver under the red layer.
- Finish blue with the horizontal bar, yellow with the vertical bar, and the final green mound with the green L; verify the empty-board SAND BLOCKS transition and reward card.
Colors in this level:
Blue, White, Yellow, Black, Purple, Cyan, Green, Red
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Treating the cyan platform as a receiver instead of clearing the six colored shapes around it.
- Leaving a completed purple or yellow shape in the center while the platform still needs another clear.
- Moving the green L into the shared columns before the white vertical receiver is finished.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 201 (quick clues)
- Read the cyan 6 as the number of first-stage receivers still needed to raise the next field.
- Move every full receiver away from the middle before setting the next color under the outlet.
- In stage two, clear white before green because the white vertical and green L compete for the center.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Using R1C1 at the upper-left of the lower five-column field, stage one has two purple squares across the top, blue vertical at left, yellow vertical at right, black horizontal at lower left, white horizontal along the bottom, and a cyan two-by-two center platform marked 6. The upper reservoir starts blue over white on the left and yellow over black on the right.
- Goal
- Clear the six receivers around the cyan platform so its count reaches zero, then solve the raised second field containing a blue horizontal bar, white vertical bar, yellow vertical bar, green L, black horizontal bar, and red vertical bar.
- Opening
- Drag the white horizontal receiver left below the white reservoir edge and the blue vertical receiver below blue. After those layers drain, center a purple square under the purple spill and wait for the platform count to change.
- Danger Zone
- A finished purple square or yellow vertical left over the middle cells blocks the next pit while the cyan platform is still counting down. After the new field rises, finish the white vertical before sweeping the green L through the shared center columns.
- Mechanics
- The verified PLATFORM tutorial uses six receiver clears to remove a numbered cyan platform and raise a second receiver layout beneath the same layered outlet.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the cyan 6 mean in Sand Blocks Level 201?
It is the new Platform phase counter. Each completed first-stage receiver lowers it, and reaching zero removes the platform so the second set of pits can ascend.
What appears after the platform clears?
The video raises a second field with blue and black horizontal bars, white, yellow, and red vertical bars, and a green L; these shapes catch the remaining outlet layers.
