Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 371 Walkthrough

expert 9 colors

Level 371 has two stages. It opens in a narrow three-column strip next to a purple cover marked 14, which counts down by one for every receiver you clear. When the cover lifts, a wider field appears with glass-capped green and blue side pipes, a gold-key brown L, a silver-key green L, and locked orange and yellow receivers.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 371 — Full Solution

  1. At 3:00 on the timer, the red bar at c1-c2 r1 fills straight from the red outlet. That first clear opens the white 1 gate over c3, drops the cover from 14 to 13, and brings the pink gate from 7 to 6.
  2. From about 2:59 to 2:56, clear the white 1x1, the white bar and the small red blocks through the two top outlets. The cover reads 10 at about 2:56, the pink gate reads 3, and the top-middle outlet switches from white to yellow.
  3. At about 2:49, set the red vertical at c1 under the red outlet (cover 9), then clear a white vertical at about 2:48 (cover 8). The pink gate reaches 1 and breaks by about 2:45, and pink sand starts pouring in from the left side.
  4. Between about 2:44 and 2:34, fill the yellow L and the yellow verticals under c3, plus the pink pieces beside the side pipe. The cover drops 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 and reaches 1 when a yellow vertical fills at about 2:34.
  5. From about 2:33 to 2:27, pull pieces out of the bottom dispenser one per second (8 down to 1). Park the green, purple and brown pieces in the emptied upper columns.
  6. The last dispenser piece is a pink 2x2. Slide it under the side pipe at c2-c3; it is 64% full at about 2:25 and full at about 2:24. The cover hits zero and lifts at about 2:23, and the side pipe switches to orange.
  7. From about 2:22 to 1:40, reshuffle the revealed field to lift the red 2x2 up the left side into c1-c2 r2-r3 under the red outlet. It reaches 100% at about 1:39. That breaks the green pipe's 1 glass at c7 r1 and brings the blue glass from 16 to 15.
  8. Feed the green pipe with green pieces in turn. A green L at c6-c7 r1-r2 fills between about 1:26 and 1:24 (blue glass 13), a green vertical at c6 goes from 62% to full by about 1:14 (11), and a green bar clears at about 1:07 (10).
  9. At about 1:01, move the green L carrying the silver key under the green pipe. It is 97% full at about 1:00 and clears, and the silver key opens the yellow padlock at about 0:59 (blue glass 9).
  10. Slide the freed yellow vertical up to c3 r1-r2 under the top-middle outlet. It fills at about 0:56 and clears by 0:55, and that outlet turns brown.
  11. Put the brown L with the gold key under the brown outlet at c2-c3. It is 33% full at about 0:52 and clears at about 0:51. The gold key flies to the orange padlock at about 0:50, and a brown bar finishes the brown load at about 0:49.
  12. Drop the unlocked orange vertical under the left side pipe; it takes the orange at about 0:45. A purple vertical fills there at about 0:44, and the blue glass falls to 1. Clear one more piece and the glass breaks at about 0:41, letting blue pour into a vertical at c6.
  13. Finish the side pipe with the purple L (46% at about 0:39, cleared by 0:38). Carry the last red vertical up to c1 r2-r3; it is 97% full at about 0:36 and clears at 0:35.
  14. Feed four blue pieces under the blue pipe at c6-c7 one after another (full at about 0:34, 0:33 and 0:32). The last one fills at about 0:31 and the board clears.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Pulling the dispenser pieces out without a plan for the pink 2x2. The cover's final count needs that 2x2 to fill under the pink side pipe, so there has to be room for it at c2-c3.
  • Burying the red 2x2 in the revealed field. It is the only receiver that uses the red outlet's remaining load, and the green pipe's glass stays shut until it clears.
  • Filling the yellow or orange receivers early. Both stay padlocked until the silver key clears under the green pipe and the gold key clears under the brown outlet.

Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 371 (quick clues)

  • Every clear counts toward every open gate at once. The strip clears that drop the cover from 14 also bring the pink gate from 7 down to 1.
  • Empty the bottom dispenser fast. Its count goes from 8 to 1 between about 2:33 and 2:27 on the timer, and the last piece is the pink 2x2 that lifts the cover.
  • Plan the long shuffle after the reveal. The red 2x2 has to climb from c5-c6 up to c1-c2 r2-r3 under the red outlet, and nothing else clears until it fills at about 1:39.
Board notes 5 details
Layout
At the start only c1-c3 are playable: a red outlet over c1-c2, a white outlet over c3 capped by a 1 gate, a pink side pipe at the left edge behind a glass gate marked 7, and an orange dispenser marked 8 in c2-c3 at the bottom. The purple cover marked 14 hides c4-c7. Once it lifts, the right side shows a green pipe behind glass marked 1 at c7 r1, a blue pipe behind glass marked 16 at c7 r6, an orange receiver with a gold padlock at c6 r1-r2, a yellow receiver with a silver padlock at c4 r8-r9, a red 2x2 at c5-c6 r9-r10, a brown L with the gold key at c4-c5 r10-r11, and a green L with the silver key at c6-c7 r10-r11.
Goal
Clear enough receivers to count the cover down to zero, empty the dispenser, then open both glass-capped pipes and both locks, and fill every receiver before the 3:00 timer runs out.
Opening
The red bar under the red outlet fills immediately, which opens the white gate over c3 and drops the cover to 13. Clear the white and red pieces in the strip next so the cover falls to 10 by about 2:56 and the pink gate counts down to 1.
Danger Zone
The cover's last count comes from the pink 2x2, which is the eighth and final piece in the bottom dispenser. The keys are buried on the bottom row of the revealed field. The silver key only comes out when its green L sits under the green pipe, and the gold key only when its brown L sits under the top-middle outlet after that outlet turns brown.
Mechanics
A 14-count cover that lifts at zero; glass gates (1 on the white outlet, 7 on the pink pipe, 1 on the green pipe, 16 on the blue pipe) that each break after that many clears anywhere on the board; an 8-piece dispenser; and two key pieces. The silver key opens the yellow receiver and the gold key opens the orange receiver.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What does the 14 on the purple cover mean?

    It is the number of receivers you still need to clear before the cover lifts. Any clear in the left strip counts. The cover opens at about 2:23 after the pink 2x2 from the dispenser fills.

  • Which key opens which lock?

    The silver key rides on a green L and opens the yellow receiver once that L clears under the green pipe. The gold key rides on a brown L and opens the orange receiver once that L clears under the top-middle outlet after it turns brown.

  • How do the glass pipe caps work?

    Each glass cap shows a number that drops by one with every clear on the board. The green pipe's glass starts at 1 and breaks when the red 2x2 clears. The blue pipe's glass starts at 16 and breaks at about 0:41.
