Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 223 Walkthrough
Level 223 layers gates marked 2, 4, 6, and 10 beneath three changing sand chambers. Start with the compact red/green/blue/yellow pocket, use each clear to release a wider receiver wave, then route the late blue, purple, green, red, and yellow irregular shapes after both lower shutters open.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 223 — Full Solution
- Move the large red square beneath the left red chamber and fill it to 100%; confirm the 2/4/6/10 counters decrement before rearranging the released pieces.
- Clear the exposed small green and blue receivers, then rotate the first yellow stair/hook through the upper pocket while keeping the center open until the right-side 4 gate reaches zero.
- Match the released green pieces to the right feed and continue with reachable yellow and blue bars; these clears take the left lower shutter to zero and expose the lower-left wave.
- Use the new lower-left space to clear a purple receiver at the middle chamber plus the remaining green/blue/red pieces until the bottom-right shutter falls from 4 to zero.
- After the last shutter disappears, clear the released green T and verticals, then the red L and purple vertical/L pieces before staging the large yellow hooks.
- Use the late left blue chamber for the long blue L and bars, the middle purple chamber for remaining purple shapes, and the right yellow chamber for hooks, verticals, and horizontals.
- Finish the last yellow and blue receivers one at a time; confirm that all movable receivers disappear and the SAND BLOCKS confetti screen appears.
Colors in this level:
Red, Blue, Purple, Green, Yellow
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Moving the first broad yellow hook into the center before the blue and green bars have reduced the lower shutters.
- Filling the bottom-right edge with newly released receivers while the 10 shutter still blocks their largest exit path.
- Routing the long blue L upward before the green T and red/purple irregular pieces have cleared the final open board.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 223 (quick clues)
- Wait for every counter animation after a 100% clear; a zero can expose a new footprint that changes the safest next move.
- Keep the middle column open until both lower shutters have disappeared, especially while the first large yellow hook is mobile.
- After the final release, clear the green T and red/purple pieces before bringing the long blue L and yellow hooks into the feed lanes.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Three chambers span the top: red begins at the left, purple in the locked middle, and green at the right. Transparent gates marked 2 and 4 sit beneath the middle/right chambers, a purple 2 shutter seals the upper-right pocket, and broad lower shutters marked 6 and 10 cover the bottom. The opening upper-left pocket holds a large red square, small green/blue squares, a green horizontal, red vertical, and large yellow stair/hook; later releases add bars, L shapes, hooks, verticals, and a green T.
- Goal
- Clear the short opening receivers to step every linked gate down, preserve the center crossing lane through each release, and remove both lower shutters before committing the largest hooked and L-shaped receivers to the changing feeds.
- Opening
- Fill the large red square beneath the left red chamber first. Its 100% clear decrements every visible counter and removes the upper-right 2 shutter; then use the small green/blue pieces and first yellow stair to drive the right-side 4 gate toward zero.
- Danger Zone
- A broad yellow hook parked in the center blocks the blue and green bars needed to reduce the lower shutters. After the left lower shutter opens, spreading its new receivers across the bottom-right edge can strand the long blue L, red L, purple vertical, and green T behind the still-closed 10 shutter.
- Mechanics
- Each completed receiver decrements several gates with different starting values, producing layered board releases. The top chambers change color during the run: the left later supplies blue, the middle serves purple, and the right progresses from green to late yellow.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the 2, 4, 6, and 10 numbers control in Level 223?
They are linked release gates with different starting counts. Receiver clears reduce them, and each zero removes a different shutter or opens another section of the board.
Why should the large yellow hooks wait?
Their wide footprints consume the central crossing lane that shorter blue, green, red, and purple receivers need while the lower shutters are still closed.
