Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 372 Walkthrough

expert 9 colors

Level 372 starts with only the bottom three rows open under two stacked covers marked 8 and 3, fed by an orange chute on the right edge. The covers lift in turn to reveal an ice block, black clock pieces worth +5 and +10 seconds, glass caps on the white and pink feeds, and checkered pink wrappers that open into yellow receivers near the end.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 372 — Full Solution

  1. At 2:10 on the timer, slide the upper orange bar right into c6-c7 under the orange chute. It is 35% full at once and clears at about 2:09, dropping the top cover from 8 to 7 and the lower cover from 3 to 2.
  2. Bring the second orange bar under the chute. It reaches 41% at about 2:01 and clears at about 2:00, so the covers read 6 and 1.
  3. At about 1:54, park the orange 1x1 under the chute. It fills, and the lower cover lifts at about 1:52. Behind it are an orange bar, a red vertical, magenta verticals, a black bar, a cyan ice block marked 7 and a checkered pink wrapper marked 21.
  4. Feed the revealed orange bar to the chute; it reaches 100% at about 1:42 (top cover 4, ice 6, wrapper 20). Then drop a purple L beside the purple pipe on the left. It clears at about 1:32, and by about 1:30 the top cover reads 1, the ice 3 and the wrapper 17.
  5. At about 1:24, clear one more orange bar under the chute. The top cover hits 0 and lifts at about 1:23, uncovering the black outlet at c2, the white outlet behind glass 8, the pink pipe behind glass 12, and several more checkered wrappers that all share the count of 16.
  6. Slide an orange vertical under the chute; it is 53% full at about 1:12 and clears at about 1:11. The counts step to 7 (white glass), 11 (pink glass), 15 (wrappers) and 1 (ice), and the chute's next colour is yellow.
  7. Rearrange from about 1:10 to 0:46 so a black vertical sits under the black outlet at c2 with the three black clock pieces lined up behind it. The vertical fills at about 0:45 and the ice block shatters.
  8. Clear the two +5 black clocks back to back and the timer climbs to about 0:54. Then drop the +10 black clock at about 0:53 and the timer jumps to about 1:02. The counts now read 4 (white glass), 8 (pink glass) and 12 (wrappers).
  9. Use up the rest of the orange (74% at about 0:54, cleared by 0:53), then clear a black vertical at about 0:52 and a black bar at about 0:49. The white glass is down to 1, the pink glass to 5 and the wrappers to 9, and the black outlet is empty.
  10. Put a purple L under the purple pipe. It fills from 28% at about 0:39 and clears at about 0:36, which breaks the white glass. White bars under c3-c4 fill at about 0:36 and 0:33, and the pink glass breaks at about 0:31.
  11. Feed pink pieces under the pink pipe: one is 91% at about 0:30 and full at 0:29, and the next goes from 28% to 69% between about 0:28 and 0:27. When the wrapper count reaches 0 at about 0:25, the checkered pieces open into yellow receivers.
  12. The left pipe now runs purple then red. A purple 1x1 fills at about 0:23, and a red L and a red Z clear at about 0:22 and 0:21. On the right, the yellow chute fills the yellow 2x2 at about 0:20 and the yellow L between about 0:19 and 0:18. The last small yellow clears at about 0:17 and the board is solved.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Using a non-orange piece in the opening. While the covers are down, the orange chute is the only feed, so nothing else can clear and the covers stay shut.
  • Leaving the black clock pieces scattered. The black outlet over c2 runs out after a few pieces, the three clocks are worth 20 seconds together, and the level ends with only 17 seconds left.
  • Filling space on the right side before the wrappers open. The yellow chute needs room at c6-c7 for the yellow 2x2 and the yellow L during the last 10 seconds.

Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 372 (quick clues)

  • Every clear counts toward every gate on the board, so an orange piece dropped under the chute early also counts toward the covers, the ice and the wrappers at the same time.
  • Stack the three black clock pieces near c2 before the black outlet opens. Clearing them back to back around 0:45 lifts the timer to about 1:02.
  • Leave room on the right for the yellow finish. When the wrappers open at about 0:25, the yellow chute on the right edge feeds the yellow 2x2, L and small block.
Board notes 5 details
Layout
Seven columns. At the start a full-width cover marked 8 hides the top, a second cover marked 3 hides the middle of c1-c6, and only three rows stay open at the bottom. Those rows hold two orange bars, a white bar, a purple L, a magenta L, small orange, white, and purple blocks, and black pieces with clock badges (+5 at c1 and c7, +10 on the black vertical at c4). An orange chute sits on the right edge above c7. After the covers lift, a black-sand outlet sits over c2, a white outlet over c3-c4 behind a glass cap of 8, a pink pipe on the left behind glass of 12, and a purple (later red) pipe on the left below it.
Goal
Clear enough receivers to open both covers, feed black, orange, purple, white, pink, red and finally yellow sand into matching receivers, and use the three black clocks to buy back time on a 2:10 timer.
Opening
Slide an orange bar right under the orange chute. It clears at about 2:09 and drops the covers to 7 and 2. A second orange bar clears at about 2:00 (6 and 1), and an orange 1x1 under the chute opens the lower cover at about 1:52.
Danger Zone
Only the orange chute works while the covers are down, so every early clear has to be orange. Later, the checkered pink pieces cannot take sand until the shared count reaches zero, and the pink feed stays behind glass until about 0:31.
Mechanics
Covers, glass caps, the cyan ice block and the checkered wrappers all count down by one for each receiver cleared anywhere on the board. The ice block shatters at zero, glass breaks open its feed, and the wrappers turn into yellow receivers. Black pieces carrying clocks add +5 or +10 seconds when they clear.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What do the 8 and 3 on the purple covers mean?

    Each number is how many receivers must still be cleared before that cover lifts. The lower cover (3) opens at about 1:52 and the upper cover (8) opens at about 1:23.

  • What are the checkered pink pieces with numbers?

    They are wrapped receivers that share a countdown, starting at 21 when the first one appears. Every clear lowers it, and at 0 (about 0:25) they unwrap into yellow receivers.

  • What do the 5 and 10 badges on the black pieces do?

    They are time bonuses. When the black piece clears under the black outlet, 5 or 10 seconds are added to the timer. Clearing all three around 0:45 lifts the timer to about 1:02.
