Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 218 Walkthrough
Level 218 stacks two seven-column chambers behind counters 4, 7, 3, 18, 21, 16, and 16. Use the open yellow feed to reveal a board-wide star-marked green receiver, keep that bridge mobile through the upper colors, then preserve the lower center lane for the final purple/red split feed.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 218 — Full Solution
- Fill the open right-side yellow squares one at a time, waiting as the seven counters descend together from 4/7/3/18/21/16/16.
- When the counter-3 strip retracts, expose the long green-striped star receiver but keep an open right lane for blue pieces and an open left lane for red bars.
- Shuttle small green squares under the left feed and blue squares and bars under the center feed, moving each 100% receiver away before staging the next.
- Exchange the long red horizontal, red squares, blue horizontal, and remaining green pieces around the star receiver; catch the later red center supply without sealing the neck.
- Continue until the neck shows yellow 3, split purple/red 6, green 1, and the large shutter 1; finish the exposed catches to reveal the lower field near 01:11.
- Stage the lower green horizontal and tall green vertical beneath the open right green pane while keeping the tall red and purple irregular pieces outside the center columns.
- Clear the yellow pane from 2 through 1 to zero with the yellow bars and small square, leaving the split center outlet unobstructed.
- Alternate the red vertical, red L and horizontals with the purple L and bars as the split pane finishes from 5 to zero; verify the last purple clear and SAND BLOCKS confetti at 00:37.
Colors in this level:
Green, Blue, Yellow, Red, Purple
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Leaving the star-marked green receiver across the upper center before the blue and red receivers have crossed.
- Building a vertical wall from the red, green, and purple irregular receivers in the lower pocket.
- Putting a long yellow bar under the center split outlet before the yellow side pane has reached zero.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 218 (quick clues)
- Wait for every completed receiver and all linked counters to settle before making the next drag.
- Keep one side lane open whenever the long star-marked green receiver crosses the upper field.
- In the lower pocket, clear green first and leave the center open for yellow, then purple/red.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- The upper seven-column chamber has green and pale-blue feeds behind cracked panes marked 4 and 7, plus an open yellow feed. Red bars and squares occupy the left, blue pieces the right, yellow squares the middle, and a purple strip marked 3 divides a lower green/red row. At the neck, yellow 18, split purple/red 21, and green 16 panes sit above a large purple shutter marked 16 that hides the lower pocket.
- Goal
- Clear yellow receivers to start the linked counter sequence, open the strip and route the star-marked green horizontal through the upper field, then retract the large lower shutter and finish green, yellow, purple, and red receivers in the revealed pocket.
- Opening
- Fill the exposed yellow squares one by one. The first clear changes 4/7/3/18/21/16/16 to 3/6/2/17/20/15/15; keep repeating until the counter-3 strip vanishes and exposes the long green-striped star receiver.
- Danger Zone
- Parking the wide star receiver beneath both upper mouths splits the chamber before the red bar and blue pieces can cross. In the lower pocket, aligning the tall red, tall green, and purple L through the center blocks the yellow bars and the final split outlet.
- Mechanics
- Seven visible opening counters, a counter-3 midline reveal, a nearly board-wide star-marked receiver, a counter-16 lower shutter, sequential top-feed colors, 100% receiver clears, and an asymmetric late 2/5/open neck state define this board.
Frequently Asked Questions
What opens first in Level 218?
The short purple strip marked 3 opens after the first yellow clears and reveals the long star-marked green receiver used throughout the upper phase.
What is the safe lower-pocket order?
Use the already open green side first, clear the yellow pane from 2 to zero next, and reserve the center for the final purple/red split feed.
