How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 266 — Full Solution
- Drag the yellow 2-cell receiver beneath the left nozzle and wait for its layer to settle before starting the red feed.
- Fill the red receiver beneath the right nozzle; when its surface stops, pull the upper-left green L into the open centre footprint.
- Stage the orange corner/vertical receiver in the centre, then clear the purple horizontal bar beside the upper-right pink receiver.
- Drain the two right-side pink counters that begin at 9 (upper) and 12 (lower); they step down as the feeds settle (the upper reads 7 in the next board state), so wait after each visible counter change rather than treating 7 as a separate purple counter.
- Use the left cyan vertical and short white bar to drain the lower-left 11 counter; keep the long white bottom bar spanning the lowest row.
- Clear the lower red L and the 18-counter lower shelf, then place yellow and orange vertical pieces in the released centre cells.
- Drain the remaining purple edge and red right L, and move the long white bar only after the centre is dark and empty.
- Park the cyan L against the right wall for the final cyan stream, wait for 100%, and verify the empty-board animation.
Colors in this level:
Yellow, Red, Green, Orange, Purple, Pink, Cyan, White, Blue
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Parking the purple vertical or cyan L across the right chute, which blocks both top feeds.
- Dragging the long bottom white bar while the 11/18 lower shelves still need the centre settling floor.
- Sending the red feed, or the next receiver, before the previous sand layer and its counter animation have stopped.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 266 (quick clues)
- Let each top feed settle before moving the next receiver.
- Keep the purple vertical and cyan right lane open.
- Delay the long white bar until the center has cleared.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Yellow and red nozzles top a tall field: yellow/red rectangles sit under the feeds, a green L and orange pieces occupy the upper centre, purple/pink counters 9 and 12 sit on the right, and cyan/white shelves plus 11/18 counters fill the lower-left. A long white bar spans the bottom row and a cyan L guards the right chute.
- Goal
- Clear the upper pair, open the center, drain lower counters, and reserve the right chute for the final cyan receiver.
- Opening
- Fill the yellow receiver under the left nozzle, wait, then fill the red receiver under the right nozzle. Move the green L and orange centre corner before touching the bottom white bar.
- Danger Zone
- A purple vertical or cyan L across the right chute blocks both feeds; the long bottom white bar must wait until the center is empty.
- Mechanics
- Dual feeds, numbered receivers, staged white/purple clearing, and a cyan terminal feed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which area should stay open?
Keep the right cyan chute clear because both feeds use it during the late sequence.
When should the bottom white bar move?
Only after the green, orange and central purple pieces no longer occupy the settling lane.
