Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 3 Walkthrough
Level 3 stacks red, blue, yellow, and green across a five-column reservoir. Clear the thin red and blue foundation strips at the right edge, then sweep each three-column horizontal receiver between the left and right catch positions.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 3 — Full Solution
- Drag red from R1-2/C2 to R1-2/C5 and hold it under the right end of the bottom red strip until 100% clears it.
- Bring blue from R4-5/C5 to R1-2/C5 and wait until the newly exposed blue strip fills and removes the receiver.
- Raise yellow from R5/C1-3 to R1/C2-4, then slide it to R1/C1-3 to collect the left side.
- Shift yellow to R1/C3-5 beneath the remaining right pocket and hold it until 100% clears the bar.
- Lift green from R6/C1-3 to R1/C1-3, sweep it to R1/C3-5, and return left as its meter passes about 8%, 51%, and 89%.
- Move green back to R1/C3-5 under the final right mound and wait for its 100% clear and the empty-board celebration.
Colors in this level:
Red, Blue, Yellow, Green
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Trying to collect yellow while the thin red or blue foundation layer still supports it.
- Leaving a three-cell receiver centered and stranding sand at both outer columns.
- Moving the green bar away before the last right-side grains settle to 100%.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 3 (quick clues)
- Finish the red and blue strips before trying to collect yellow.
- Sweep each three-column bar to both reservoir edges.
- Use the center column as overlap when switching a bar from left to right.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A five-column by six-row receiver grid sits below full-width sand layers ordered red, blue, yellow, and green from bottom to top. Red is a 1x2 receiver at R1-2/C2, blue is a 1x2 at R4-5/C5, yellow spans R5/C1-3, and green spans R6/C1-3.
- Goal
- Expose the reservoir bottom-up: remove red and blue at the right outlet, then clear both wide yellow and green layers by covering all five columns with repeated three-cell bar placements.
- Opening
- Move red to R1-2/C5 and wait for its 100% clear; reuse the right-side catch lane with blue before lifting either horizontal bar.
- Danger Zone
- A yellow or green bar left only at C2-4 cannot reach the grains resting along C1 or C5, so the layer stalls short of 100%.
- Mechanics
- Sand layers become reachable strictly bottom-up. The horizontal receivers retain collected sand while sliding between R1/C1-3 and R1/C3-5.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the layer order in Sand Blocks Level 3?
From the reservoir bottom upward it is red, blue, yellow, then green.
Why does the yellow receiver need to move sideways?
It spans three columns while the source spans five, so it must cover the left C1-3 and right C3-5 positions.
Where does the level finish?
The green bar finishes at the right catch position R1/C3-5 beneath the last green mound.
