Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 22 Walkthrough
Level 22 loads yellow, blue, green, white, and red receivers around a two-star platform before any of them disappear. Preserve every partially filled piece, then use eight verified 100% removals to drive the linked 7/8 cap to zero.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 22 — Full Solution
- Drag the right yellow 2x2 down the outside-right corridor into its lower-right parking square; it remains at 0%.
- Lower the slim blue vertical receiver into the vacated lane and take only the visible partial blue pour; keep the bar on the board.
- Raise the yellow 2x2 beneath the right yellow slope for its first partial fill, then return it to lower-right.
- Lift the bottom-center green L around the platform's lower-right corner, partially load its vertical leg, and park the still-visible L along the bottom.
- Touch the right white 1x1 to the pale edge, then raise the lower-left green L along the left wall; neither action changes 7/8.
- Partially load the upper-right red vertical bar, then move the slim blue bar to the lower-right blue fall; frame 81 still shows all these receivers.
- Return the right yellow 2x2 to its bank until it reaches 100% and disappears; 7/8 becomes 6/7.
- Finish the slim blue vertical receiver at the blue edge; its disappearance changes 6/7 to 5/6.
- Finish the bottom green L under the right green residue; its full-footprint removal changes 5/6 to 4/5.
- Complete the right white 1x1 at the pale foundation edge; 4/5 becomes 3/4.
- Return the right red vertical bar beneath its red strip and finish its stored fill; 3/4 becomes 2/3.
- Slide the upper blue horizontal receiver under the exposed blue-white stripe and hold it to disappearance; 2/3 becomes 1/2.
- Complete the left white 1x1 beneath the remaining pale stripe; the 7-piece opens at 0/1.
- Raise the left yellow 2x2 beneath the star-marked bank and finish it; the last 1 disappears and the former 7/8 footprint opens.
- Move the two top green 1x1 receivers separately into the small right green pockets and wait for each disappearance.
- Fit the surviving green L into the upper-right green fall, then place the surviving red vertical bar beneath the exposed left red strip.
- Put the yellow L receiver beneath the lower yellow slope and hold its full footprint inside the fall until it disappears.
- Move the last green corner receiver beneath the bottom green scrap and wait for the empty platform and confetti.
Colors in this level:
Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, White
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Calling the 28%-35% blue bar or 48%-64% yellow square cleared while it remains visible.
- Treating 0/1 as a fully open platform before the eighth receiver disappears.
- Leaving a partial receiver in the right shuttle lane instead of its lower parking cells.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 22 (quick clues)
- Keep the right wall open after every partial pour so the same yellow and blue receivers can return.
- Use disappearance, not movement away from a stream, as the signal for a counter decrement.
- At 0/1, route one more full receiver before treating the platform footprint as open.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A rectangular perimeter holds red top-corner bars, a top blue bar, two green squares, one white square, side yellow 2x2 receivers, a right blue vertical bar, two white foundation squares, and two lower green L shapes around a central two-star platform capped by 7 and 8.
- Goal
- Load receivers around the right wall without losing their identities, then complete eight removals through 7/8, 6/7, 5/6, 4/5, 3/4, 2/3, 1/2, 0/1, and fully open before clearing the released platform sand.
- Opening
- Park right yellow low, partially load the slim blue bar and yellow square, then partially load the bottom green L and right white square; frames 41 and 81 show these receivers still present.
- Danger Zone
- Treating a partially filled receiver as cleared deletes a piece that the video routes again later. Only a 100% disappearance advances the 7/8 cap.
- Mechanics
- Both counters decrement on each completed receiver until the 7-piece opens at 0/1; one further completion removes the 8-piece. Partial percentages do not decrement either counter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do partial fills reduce the 7/8 counters?
No. Frames 41 and 81 show several percentage-filled receivers still present while the cap remains; the numbers change only after 100% disappearance.
Why does one cyan piece remain after the 7 side opens?
The linked pair is offset by one: the seventh completion produces 0/1, and the eighth removes the last 8-side piece.
How can I tell whether a receiver is still needed?
If its colored outline and percentage remain visible, keep its identity in the route and return it to matching sand later.
