Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 226 Walkthrough
Level 226 surrounds a cyan counter cross marked 5 with pink/green top reservoirs, six side feeds, and crowded irregular receivers. Clear the small yellow and cyan pieces first, count the cross down to zero, then rotate the red, blue, green, yellow, pink, and purple shapes through the released center.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 226 — Full Solution
- Clear the upper-right yellow square and adjacent green receiver; wait for the cyan side gate and top-right gate to decrement.
- Move the tall cyan receiver to the right cyan inlet and the tall yellow receivers beneath their matching upper/side sand, keeping both large L-shapes outside the cross shoulders.
- Cycle the small yellow squares on both sides while the central cyan cells change from 5 to 3; pause after each drag until all connected cells settle.
- Feed the upper pink receiver and then the dark-green receiver from the two top reservoirs, taking the cyan cross through 2 and 1 until it disappears.
- Rotate the red upper L, purple upper L, blue right bar, and dark-green left L through the released middle around the two pale fixed pillars.
- Clear the lower yellow vertical and pink bar, followed by the blue/cyan pieces at the lower side inlets; keep the right green inlet open.
- Use the large yellow L from the left, then clear the remaining green and blue irregular receivers from the top/right feed phases.
- Finish the purple left receiver and lower/right red receivers, leaving the final red L for the last side-fed red sand and confirming the empty-board SAND BLOCKS state.
Colors in this level:
Pink, Green, Cyan, Yellow, Purple, Red, Blue, White
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Treating the numbered cyan cross as empty cells before its synchronized counter reaches zero.
- Placing a large pink or green L across a cross shoulder while tall receivers still need the passage.
- Occupying the right-side feed with a red vertical before the final red L can reach it.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 226 (quick clues)
- Wait for every cyan cross cell to display its new value before moving the next receiver.
- Stage large L-shapes around the cross until it reaches zero and disappears.
- Reserve the right-side mouth for the last red L instead of parking a red vertical there early.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- With the upper-left main cell as R0C0, the roughly 9x12 rectangle has raised pink and green top reservoirs; side gates begin at upper-left 5, upper-right 3, lower-left 9, and lower-right 11, with yellow and green middle inlets. A cyan counter cross around R4-R7/C3-C5 starts mostly at 5. Tall yellow/cyan receivers, dark-green and pink L-shapes, red/blue bars, and narrow green/purple/red/blue bottom receivers surround two pale fixed central pillars.
- Goal
- Reduce every connected cyan counter cell from 5 to zero without sealing a top or side feed, then use the open center to clear the irregular receivers and finish the right/lower red sequence.
- Opening
- Clear the upper-right yellow square and adjacent green receiver, place the tall cyan bar at the right cyan inlet, then use the two tall yellow receivers while the side gates and cyan cross begin decrementing.
- Danger Zone
- The pink upper-right L and dark-green left L can cover the narrow shoulders of the cyan cross before it disappears; later, an early red vertical at the right green/red mouth blocks the final red L.
- Mechanics
- Two top reservoirs, six side feeds/counters, a synchronized multi-cell cyan counter cross, 100% clearing, irregular L/bar footprints, and two fixed center pillars determine the order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What opens the middle of Sand Blocks Level 226?
The connected cyan counter cells must visibly descend from 5 through 1; the center becomes usable only after the entire cross disappears.
Which receiver should be saved for the end?
The final red L needs the right-side red feed after the smaller red vertical and horizontal pieces have cleared their lanes.
