Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 209 Walkthrough
Level 209 is a cross-shaped counter board with a top feed, four side ports, outer shutters, and a separately released lower basin. Preserve the central shuttle lane, open the orange locks around the cyan basin, then clear the network of blue receivers in the final phase.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 209 — Full Solution
- Catch the opening yellow top layer and use the matching green/yellow and purple side-port receivers without occupying the cross center.
- Rotate tall red and blue receivers along the outer arms; clear white and yellow center pieces as the surrounding shutters count down.
- After the lower basin opens, arrange its yellow, red, and white Ls around the cyan strip, clear both orange padlock receivers, and wait for the lock changes.
- Finish the remaining green, red, purple, and white side pieces, then remove the red L receivers from the basin.
- Feed the blue verticals, bars, Ls, and final blue T from the top outlet one at a time until the empty-board SAND BLOCKS animation appears.
Colors in this level:
Yellow, Red, Blue, Green, Purple, White, Black, Orange, Cyan
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Leaving a red L across the cross center while a side receiver still needs to pass.
- Covering the cyan basin counter with a yellow or red lower L before the orange locks clear.
- Moving the largest blue bar under the outlet before the shorter blue pieces have vacated their lanes.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 209 (quick clues)
- Maintain one empty square in the cross center throughout the outer-counter stages.
- Keep the cyan basin strip and both orange locks exposed when the lower chamber opens.
- Clear shorter blue pieces before the final long bar and T-shaped receiver.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- The cross-shaped opening has a top neck marked 6, upper-right panel 6, large left panel 10, left strips 13 and 11, right strip 3, and lower panel 16. The exposed center mixes red L/bars, blue vertical/L pieces, yellow squares/bars, purple verticals, white squares, green corners, and black blockers; the lower release adds a cyan counter basin, red/yellow/white Ls, and orange padlock receivers.
- Goal
- Use the yellow top feed and four side feeds to reduce the outer counters, clear the orange locks around the lower basin, then route every remaining blue receiver through the final top stream.
- Opening
- Fill the small yellow top receiver, then use matching green/yellow and purple pieces at the side ports; keep tall red and blue pieces on the outer arms while the neck and large shutters count down.
- Danger Zone
- A red L or long blue bar across the cross center blocks multiple feed arms. In the lower stage, yellow/red L pieces must not cover the cyan strip or the orange padlock receivers.
- Mechanics
- Six visible counter families, five feed directions, a released lower basin, two orange locks, and a blue-only endgame make this a long multi-stage shuttle puzzle.
