Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 23 Walkthrough
Level 23 divides blue-yellow-red sand on the left from green-red sand on the right with an interlocking cyan spine marked 9. Empty both bottom receiver clusters, then separate the released red and green zigzags before finishing the top yellow feed.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 23 — Full Solution
- Hold the upper-right green 1x1 beneath the green bank; at 100% it disappears and changes every counter from 9 to 8.
- Move the separate lower-right red L upward with its foot pointing left beneath the red pocket; its clear changes 8 to 7.
- Lift the upper-left blue 1x1 beneath the blue edge and hold it while the adjacent left yellow 1x1 is positioned under the yellow band.
- Keep that adjacent left yellow 1x1 paired with the blue catch until both reach 100%; both receivers disappear together and change 7 to 5.
- Raise a different left yellow 1x1 beneath the exposed yellow edge and hold it to 100%; its disappearance changes 5 to 4.
- Move the inner-left blue 1x1 from beside the spine to the blue edge; it rises from 11% to 100%, then clears 4 to 3.
- Place the separate left yellow 1x1 staged nearest the spine under the settling yellow band beside the inner red catch; hold until both the yellow and red squares reach 100%.
- Fill the inner red 1x1 in its adjacent red catch and hold it through the paired clear; yellow and red change 3 to 1 together.
- Raise the separate far-left bottom red 1x1 beneath the red edge and hold it to 100%; its disappearance changes 1 to 0 and exposes the center footprint.
- Pull the released green zigzag right with its lower arm beneath the green bank.
- Move the released red zigzag left through the open spine and place its long leg against the red pocket.
- Clear the green zigzag's lower arm, then raise its freed upper green receiver beneath the upper-right slope.
- Hold the red zigzag through settling until its complete footprint reaches 100% and disappears.
- Move the surviving small green square into the center-right wedge, then clear the surviving red square at center-left.
- Raise the yellow vertical receiver under the top neck for the center pour.
- Shift yellow to the right edge of the top mound and wait for that exposed section to clear.
- Place the short yellow bar beneath the last ledge, then clear the final red and blue squares in their bottom corner pockets.
- Wait for the last compact receiver to disappear and verify the empty spine and confetti.
Colors in this level:
Yellow, Cyan, Blue, Red, Green
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Parking a long receiver inside the cyan spine before it opens.
- Leaving bottom-corner pieces in place when the released zigzags need the full lane.
- Trying to drain the top yellow reservoir while the central 9-count barrier remains.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 23 (quick clues)
- Completely remove bottom receivers instead of storing them in the center.
- Clear the upper-right green 1x1 and lower-right red L before starting the seven named left-bank receivers.
- Pull the released green zigzag right and red zigzag toward the red spill.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A tall central spine of irregular cyan pieces starts entirely at 9. A yellow reservoir caps it; the left chamber has vertical blue, yellow, and red bands, while the right has green with a lower red pocket. Small red, blue, yellow, and green squares, bars, and L receivers pack both bottom corners.
- Goal
- Use the named lower-right then lower-left receiver sequence to reduce the 9-count spine, pull the released green and red zigzags into their side banks, then collect the top yellow reservoir and final colored scraps.
- Opening
- Complete nine unique receivers: right green makes 9→8, right red L makes 8→7, and seven left-bank clears open the spine.
- Danger Zone
- A long block parked in the central lane before the 9-count spine vanishes becomes trapped and occupies the space needed to separate the released zigzags.
- Mechanics
- All visible spine segments decrement together once per completed receiver. The ninth disappearance removes the entire numbered footprint and exposes interlocking full-height red and green receivers underneath.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens when the central 9s reach zero?
The cyan spine disappears and reveals interlocking red and green receiver shapes in the middle.
Which bottom corner should I start with?
Begin with the upper-right green 1x1, then the separate lower-right red L; those two clears produce the visible 9-to-8 and 8-to-7 updates before the seven left-bank clears.
How is the top yellow reservoir finished?
After the spine and side banks clear, place yellow beneath the top neck and follow the settling pile toward the right.
