Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 221 Walkthrough
Level 221 starts with six tall receivers under five fixed feeds and four linked counters marked 8, 13, 24, and 24. Clear the two tall-receiver tiers, work through the compact square-and-bar release, then use the open board to route the final green, yellow, blue, red, and purple irregular shapes.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 221 — Full Solution
- Cycle the upper blue, green, and yellow tall receivers through the C3, C2, and C1 mouths, waiting for each 100% clear and linked counter decrement.
- Clear the lower yellow, green, and blue tall receivers from the second tier; keep the left rack open until the cyan 8 gate releases the short red receiver.
- Remove the middle wave's small yellow squares, shuttle the purple squares toward C6-C7, and clear the short red bar while the paired cyan counters and both shutters descend.
- Finish the remaining lower green/blue/yellow receivers, then clear the red and purple wide bars as the paired cyan counters reach zero.
- After both 24 shutters disappear, clear the green horizontal and green square first; this leaves the center open while the three cyan cells count down from 4.
- Route the yellow square to C1, the red and green vertical bars to their matching feeds, then clear the purple square at C6-C7 and the blue L at C3.
- Finish the remaining yellow square, purple staircase, and red L; confirm the empty grid and SAND BLOCKS confetti state.
Colors in this level:
Yellow, Green, Blue, Red, Purple, Cyan
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Leaving a completed tall receiver inside the narrow left rack and blocking the next color from crossing to its mouth.
- Parking a middle-wave purple or yellow square across the only lateral route while a red bar is still trapped beside the shutter.
- Sending the red L or purple staircase upward before the long green and blue footprints have cleared the final board.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 221 (quick clues)
- Move each completed tall receiver out of the three-column left rack before bringing the next color to its feed.
- Use the 8, 13, and 24 values as release checkpoints; wait for the number and sand animation to settle before planning the newly exposed wave.
- In the open-board finale, clear long green and blue footprints before staging the red L and purple staircase at the right feeds.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Treat the top feed cells as C1-C7: yellow uses C1, green C2, blue C3, red C4-C5, and purple C6-C7. Two tiers of green/yellow/blue tall receivers fill the left rack; a cyan 8 gate sits below them, a cyan 13 gate seals the upper-right pocket, and purple shutters marked 24 occupy the right half and full bottom row. Later waves add small squares/bars and a final set of L shapes, long bars, and three cyan counter cells marked 4.
- Goal
- Use the six narrow opening receivers to decrement every gate, preserve the left-to-right shuttle lane through the middle release, and open both 24 shutters before committing the irregular final pieces to the five feeds.
- Opening
- Clear the upper blue, green, and yellow tall receivers through C3, C2, and C1, then finish the lower yellow/green/blue tier; wait for each 100% clear so the 8, 13, and both 24 counters visibly step down.
- Danger Zone
- A small purple square beside C6-C7 or a yellow square left across C1-C2 blocks the middle wave's only lateral lane. After the shutters open, the long green bar and blue L must clear before the red L and purple staircase occupy the upper-right landing cells.
- Mechanics
- Every receiver reaching 100% decrements several counters at once, but the cyan 8/13 gates and the two 24 shutters expose different receiver waves. Five fixed feeds and changing multi-cell footprints turn each release into a new routing board.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the 8, 13, and 24 numbers do in Level 221?
They all decrement as receivers clear, but reaching zero opens different layers: the cyan gates reveal the middle wave and the two 24 shutters release the irregular finale.
What confirms the end of Level 221?
The last red L disappears at 100%, the grid is empty, and the video shows the SAND BLOCKS confetti transition.
