Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 369 Walkthrough
Level 369 starts with only the yellow hopper working. The pink hopper is iced over at 24 and the blue one at 3, and every clear anywhere on the board lowers those counts, the two shutter counts and later a frozen orange tank on the left wall. Yellow thaws blue, blue opens the lower board, and the pink hopper finally melts with about 30 seconds left.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 369 — Full Solution
- At about 3:30 on the timer the yellow vertical at c7 r1-r2 fills under the yellow hopper and clears. Pink drops to 23, blue to 2 and the shutters to 5 and 4 at 3:29.
- At about 3:20 slide a yellow vertical into c5 r1-r2 (clears 3:19) and follow it with a yellow 1x1 (clears 3:18). The blue ice melts at 3:18, pink reads 21 and the shutters read 3 and 2.
- At about 3:07 move the arrow piece down to c3-c4 r2-r3 and put blue pieces in c3-c4 r1. The blue 1x1s are 100% at 3:06; pink falls to 19, then 17, and both shutters open at 3:05.
- At about 3:05 the lower board appears: the frozen orange tank reads 7 and the bottom-right dispenser reads 4. One more clear at 3:00 brings pink to 16 and the tank to 6.
- From about 3:00 to 2:27 rearrange the crowded board to free a path to the yellow and blue hoppers. No receiver clears in this stretch.
- At about 2:26 a yellow bar fills under the yellow hopper (pink 15 and tank 5 at 2:25). A blue bar under the blue hopper clears next, and pink reads 14 at 2:21.
- At about 2:07 clear two yellow 1x1s under the yellow hopper (pink 13, then 12 at 2:05; tank 3, then 2). The dispenser drops 4→3 at 2:00.
- At about 1:54 a yellow vertical fills (pink 11, tank 1 at 1:53), and the yellow hopper's pipe turns purple. Rearrange again until a yellow L fits under the yellow hopper; it is full at 1:12 and pink reads 10 at 1:11.
- At about 1:11 the orange tank's ice breaks. An orange bar beside it reaches 73% and clears at 1:04 (pink 9), another orange piece clears for 8 at 1:01, and an orange vertical clears for 7 at 0:58.
- At about 0:49 the tank has turned white: the white vertical fills and pink reads 6 at 0:48. Orange returns for an orange bar (5 at 0:45), an orange vertical (48%, 4 at 0:43) and an orange 1x1 (3 at 0:41).
- At about 0:33 the last yellow bar fills (100% at 0:32, pink 2) and a purple 1x1 clears under the purple layer at 0:31 (pink 1). The pink ice melts at 0:30 and a blue bar clears under the blue hopper at the same moment.
- From about 0:29 to 0:25 fill the magenta square, the magenta verticals and the magenta L under the pink hopper, then the magenta bar (100% at 0:25).
- At about 0:21 the dispenser gives up its last pieces (2, then 1). The purple L reads 93% at 0:21 and 100% at 0:20, and the magenta L is 100% at 0:20. The last blue fills under the blue hopper at 0:19.
- At about 0:18 the blue hopper has turned green: push the arrow piece up into it (100% at 0:18). The last green follows and the board is empty at 0:17.
Colors in this level:
Yellow, Blue, Pink, Magenta, Orange, White, Purple, Green
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Waiting for blue or pink during the opening; neither hopper pours until its ice count reaches zero, so the first clears have to be yellow.
- Leaving the arrow piece in c3-c4 r1-r2 after the blue hopper thaws; it blocks every blue piece from the only slot under that hopper.
- Spending the orange batch on one big piece while small orange pieces sit far from the tank; each clear counts the same toward the pink ice.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 369 (quick clues)
- Every clear counts toward every frozen number at once, so small cheap clears are worth as much as big ones.
- Keep yellow receivers moving early; yellow is the only colour available until 3:18.
- The orange tank thaws at about 1:11 and cycles orange, white, orange. Line up orange pieces next to it before it opens.
- Pink, purple and green all arrive in the last half minute, so keep those pieces close to the top rather than buried at the bottom.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Seven columns by about ten rows. Hoppers sit over c1-c2 (pink, iced, 24), c3-c4 (blue, iced, 3) and c5-c7 (yellow). A green piece marked with an up-down arrow sits under the blue hopper at c3-c4 r1-r2. A small shutter marked 6 covers c1-c2 r2-r4 and a large one marked 5 covers r5-r10. Behind the large shutter are a frozen orange tank on the left wall marked 7 and a dispenser marked 4 at the bottom right.
- Goal
- Use the one working hopper to count the ice and shutters down, then keep clearing yellow, blue, orange, white and finally pink, purple and green receivers until the board is empty.
- Opening
- Three yellow clears (3:29, 3:19 and 3:18) melt the blue hopper. Slide the arrow piece down one row so blue pieces can sit under that hopper, and the next blue clears open both shutters at about 3:05.
- Danger Zone
- The arrow piece only moves up and down in c3-c4, so it always stands between the blue hopper and the rows below it. Leave the row under the blue hopper free for blue pieces, and bring the arrow piece back up only when that hopper turns green.
- Mechanics
- Iced hoppers and an iced wall tank that thaw after a set number of clears, twin clear-counting shutters, a green piece that moves only vertically, pipes that preview the next sand colour, and a four-piece bottom dispenser.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the 24 and 3 on the hoppers mean?
Those hoppers are iced over. Each cleared receiver anywhere on the board lowers the number. Blue thawed at 3:18 after three clears, and pink thawed at 0:30 after twenty-four.
Why does the green piece have an arrow on it?
It can only slide up and down. It stays in c3-c4 the whole level and is filled at the very end, when the blue hopper runs green.
What are the 6, 5, 7 and 4 counters?
The 6 and 5 are shutters over the upper-left pocket and the lower board; both open at 3:05. The 7 is the iced orange tank on the left wall, which thaws at 1:11. The 4 is a dispenser in the bottom-right corner that releases one piece at a time.
