How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 264 — Full Solution
- Drag the yellow V (2x2 footprint) directly below the left nozzle; then place the cyan 1x2 receiver so its paired counters both read 11 before settling.
- Place the magenta 20/23/20 trio into the upper-right 3-cell mouth, then the short purple 1x2; leave both reservoir mouths (14 left, 8 right) open.
- Drag the white horizontal 2x1 from center-right into the top white mouth, then the blue 2x1 beneath it into the blue mouth; keep the black 1x3 on the far right until white 4 and purple 2 settle.
- Start both purple reservoirs together: the left 14 and right 8 drain in parallel. Alternate their openings while clearing the cyan and magenta 1x2 bars so neither 4x3 reservoir mouth is covered.
- After the right lock opens, drag the blue L from mid-left through the central 2x3 gap, then the white L from upper-right through the same gap; let the paired counters settle as 19/22/19 -> 15/15 -> 12/12.
- Drag the lower purple vertical into the left purple mouth and the blue horizontal into the right blue mouth; keep the bottom-center 3x3 footprint empty for the green L.
- Drag the green L from lower-right into the bottom-center green mouth, then the orange L into the cells it releases; follow the synchronized pair chain 9/9 -> 8/8 -> 6/6 -> 4/4 -> 1/1, then wait for both top 100% fills and terminal board clear.
Colors in this level:
Yellow, Cyan, Magenta, Blue, White, Black, Purple, Green, Orange
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Filling both reservoir mouths before the green L has a lower-center landing.
- Moving the black vertical before the right lock row is exposed.
- Routing orange through the center before green settles.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 264 (quick clues)
- Alternate reservoir clears so one mouth remains open.
- Do not move the black vertical until the right lock row is exposed.
- Keep bottom-center cells empty for green before routing orange.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Two large purple reservoirs marked 14 and 8 sit below yellow, cyan, magenta, blue, white, and black receivers. Upper pairs show 11, 20, and 4; a small lock tile guards the right lane. After the initial parallel drain, the synchronized counters visibly step through 19/22/19, 15/15, 12/12, 9/9, 8/8, 6/6, 4/4, and 1/1.
- Goal
- Clear the upper paired receivers, alternate reservoir mouths, open the lock, and preserve the bottom-center cells for the green L followed by orange.
- Opening
- Match the yellow V, cyan 11 pair, and magenta 20/23 pair; keep the black vertical at upper-right until the white receiver and lock are ready.
- Danger Zone
- Filling both reservoir mouths blocks the lower green L; moving orange before green settles leaves the final white square without a vertical drop.
- Mechanics
- Dual reservoirs, paired counters, visible lock tile, percentage chain, and green-orange L finish are evidenced.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why alternate the reservoirs?
One open mouth is needed for the center pieces while the other reservoir's counter drains.
What order finishes the L pieces?
Green occupies the bottom-center opening first; orange follows through the route it creates.
