Sand Blocks level guide
Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 373 Walkthrough
Level 373 carries the game's Hard label and has three covers counting down together: 13 under the top-left green reservoir, 17 under the top-right white reservoir, and 5 across the middle. A tray fed from the left edge supplies red, cyan, green, yellow, purple and pink. Ice blocks and checkered wrappers count down alongside the covers, and three orange key pieces unlock the last receiver.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 373 — Full Solution
- At 3:30 on the timer, the red vertical at c1 under the tray fills at once. It clears at about 3:29, and the covers read 12, 16 and 4, the ice 4, and the wrappers 20 and 25.
- Shuffle the bottom rows so a red 1x1 sits under the tray at c1. It clears at about 3:03 (covers 11, 15 and 3; ice 3). The left pipe starts adding green behind the tray's remaining red and cyan.
- At about 2:53, slide a red bar under the tray's red end. It goes from 54% to full by about 2:51. Put cyan bars under the cyan end next, and the middle cover drops to 2 at 2:51 and 1 at 2:50, with the ice also at 1.
- One more clear from the tray at about 2:46 shatters the ice and lifts the middle cover. The new row has orange pieces with key icons, purple verticals, an orange L with a padlock marked 3 at c6-c7, and a green striped bar with a star block at c1.
- The tray is now green. Stack the green bars that were under the ice beneath it; they clear between about 2:36 and 2:32, and the top covers fall to 5 and 9. Yellow follows: the small yellow blocks clear by about 2:30 (4 and 8).
- At about 2:28 the tray turns purple. Feed the purple verticals from the key row under the tray one at a time. The clear at about 2:00 brings the covers to 2 and 6, and the one at about 1:50 brings them to 1 and 5.
- A purple vertical that is 80% full at about 1:42 clears, and the green cover lifts at about 1:41. Its reservoir holds green over black, and a magenta vertical and more wrappers sit underneath. The tray switches to pink.
- Under the top-left reservoir, fill green verticals one after another. They reach 100% at about 1:27, 1:23 and 1:17, and the white cover drops from 3 to 1.
- Move a magenta vertical under the tray at c1; it fills with pink between about 1:02 and 1:00. The white cover reaches 0 and lifts at about 0:59, uncovering the white reservoir and a column of black L and bar pieces on the right.
- Put a white vertical under the white reservoir; it is full at about 0:53. Then feed the last green at about 0:48, followed by black pieces under the top-left reservoir (68% at about 0:39, full at about 0:37, a second one about 98% at 0:35).
- The wrapper count hits 0 at about 0:34, and those checkered pieces open into white L and step shapes. Drop them under the white reservoir in turn: one fills at about 0:34 and another clears by 0:31. The rest clear between about 0:28 and 0:26, with a purple bit from the last wrapper at about 0:26.
- Once the white load is gone, the top-right reservoir runs orange. Place the orange key pieces under it. The two small key blocks fill at about 0:24 and their keys reach the padlock at about 0:23. The key T goes under the reservoir next, and its key flies at about 0:21. The unlocked orange L fills at about 0:20, and the board clears at 0:19.
Colors in this level:
Red, Cyan, Green, Yellow, Purple, Pink, White, Black, Orange
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Leaving the space under the tray empty when its colour changes. The tray keeps adding new colours from the left pipe, and a load with no matching receiver below it holds up every counter on the board.
- Wasting the key pieces on the wrong colour. They only fill with orange, which arrives last through the top-right reservoir, so park them somewhere they can slide to c7-c8 at the end.
- Blocking the column under the white reservoir. After the white cover lifts, the white verticals, the unwrapped white shapes and then the orange key pieces all have to pass through that one spot.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 373 (quick clues)
- The tray's colour changes as each load runs out: red, then cyan, green, yellow, purple and pink. Have the next matching piece ready under c1-c4 before the current colour runs out.
- The middle cover and the ice both go at about 2:46. Behind them are the orange key row, the padlocked L, the grey and green pieces that were under the ice, and the striped bar.
- Leave the orange key pieces for the finish. Orange only arrives through the top-right reservoir after its white load, at about 0:24.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Eight columns. At the start only the bottom four rows are open. A horizontal tray across c1-c4 of the top open row holds red and cyan sand, and a pipe on the left edge refills it. Next to the tray sit ice blocks marked 5 (a vertical at c6 and three bars at c7-c8). Below are a red vertical at c1, checkered pink wrappers marked 21 and 26, small yellow and red blocks, and cyan and red bars on the bottom row. Above everything, the middle cover (5) and two top covers (13 and 17) hide the rest.
- Goal
- Clear receivers to count all three covers down, feed each colour from the tray and the two top reservoirs, open the wrappers, and bring three orange key pieces to the padlocked orange receiver before the 3:30 timer runs out.
- Opening
- The red vertical at c1 fills from the tray right away, and the first clear at about 3:29 drops the counters to 12, 16 and 4. A red 1x1 clears at about 3:03, then red and cyan bars from about 2:52 bring the middle cover to 1 by 2:50.
- Danger Zone
- The tray only drains into receivers placed directly under it in c1-c4. While the middle cover is down, every clear has to come from that tray. The padlocked orange L stays shut until all three key pieces have cleared, and it is the final receiver.
- Mechanics
- Covers, ice blocks and checkered wrappers all count down by one for each receiver cleared. The ice shatters at zero, the covers lift, and the wrappers open into white or purple receivers. A green striped bar with a star block at c1 shortens from the right as play goes on. Orange pieces with key icons each send a key to the padlock marked 3 when they clear.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the 13, 17 and 5 on the covers mean?
They are clear counters. Every receiver you clear lowers all three by one. The middle cover (5) lifts at about 2:46, the top-left green cover (13) at about 1:41, and the top-right white cover (17) at about 0:59.
What are the checkered pink pieces with numbers?
They are wrapped receivers that start at 21 or 26 and count down with every clear. At zero they open. Most become white shapes at about 0:34 and fill from the white reservoir.
How do the keys and the padlock work?
The orange pieces with key icons fill with orange sand from the top-right reservoir near the end. Each one sends its key to the padlock marked 3. After the third key, the locked orange L can fill, and it is the last receiver on the board.
