How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 273 — Full Solution
- Drag the orange-fed receiver into the upper-left bay and red-fed receiver into the upper-right; wait for 11 and 1 to register.
- Clear the green vertical and yellow horizontal below the top row, then remove the purple square and white L around the right key.
- Collect the key and drop it into the adjacent lock; wait for the visible unlock before moving cyan.
- Feed the center 7 tank with short yellow and white receivers, alternating left and center placements so the upper channel stays open.
- Drain the tall left tank, then route the blue vertical through the opened center turn; keep the large purple tank clear.
- Send the cyan bar/L through the center opening and clear green and yellow around the lower basin, letting the tank counter fall.
- Use the released lower grid for the green L, yellow horizontal, and white corner, preserving the lower-right turn.
- Clear the right-edge blue/white bars and final green/cyan fragments; verify both feeds and lower tank reach zero.

Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Stepped upper chamber with orange/red feeds, blue 1 receiver, green/yellow verticals, purple square, white L, cyan bar, green 11 receiver, right-side key/lock, center tank 7, and lower-right purple tank around 13.
- Goal
- Clear the top cluster, collect the right key, open the lock, reduce the center and lower tanks, and reserve the lower turning cells for cyan/blue.
- Opening
- Feed orange left and red right, then clear green, yellow, purple, and white around the key while leaving the tall left-tank exit open.
- Danger Zone
- A green/yellow L in the lower-right tank before the key animation blocks the key lane; a cyan bar across the center tank seals the only lower turn.
- Mechanics
- Dual feeds, key→lock gate, counters 11/7/13, stepped geometry, and narrow-to-open lower-grid transition are evidenced.
Frequently Asked Questions
What opens the center?
The right-side key must be collected and dropped into its adjacent lock; wait for the unlock animation.
Why alternate yellow and white?
