Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 38 Walkthrough
Level 38 opens its cyan 10 with a fixed identity chain: four left red squares, three green squares at the right outlet, two green bars, and the left red bar. The 10->6->3->1->0 checkpoints turn the ice into the large blue receiver.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 38 — Full Solution
- Move the top red 1x1 from the left stack under the red outlet; wait for 100% and verify 10->9.
- Feed the second left red 1x1 from the same outlet and verify 9->8.
- Move the third left red 1x1 under the red bank and verify 8->7.
- Clear the bottom red 1x1 from the left cluster; verify 7->6.
- Carry a green 1x1 from the lower-left parking row to the far-right green outlet; verify 6->5.
- Clear the second green 1x1 at the right outlet for 5->4.
- Clear the third green 1x1 at the right outlet for 4->3.
- Move the right-side green 1x2 bar beneath the green bank and clear it for 3->2.
- Move the second green 1x2 bar to that outlet and clear it for 2->1.
- Drag the left red 1x2 bar beneath the red bank; its clear changes 1->0 and breaks the ice.
- Drag the freed blue 3x3 receiver from the former ice footprint to the lower-left parking cells so both yellow bars can use the outlet.
- Move the first yellow 1x2 bar from the right stack beneath the center-yellow mound; hold it there until it reaches 100% and disappears.
- Place the second yellow 1x2 bar under the remaining yellow slope; at about 92%, move it to the bottom row to keep the green outlet open.
- Lift the upper surviving green 1x1 to the far-right green edge and wait for its 100% clear.
- Move the lower green 1x1 to the same edge; let it reach about 71%, then park it at lower left for the last green tail.
- Drag the blue 3x3 square from lower left to the center beneath the blue mound and wait until it reaches about 81%.
- Shift the 81% blue square from center to the lower-right cells, reopening the middle route for yellow.
- Return the 92% yellow bar from the bottom row to the small upper-right yellow tail and wait for it to clear.
- Move the surviving red 1x2 bar beneath the far-left red grains and hold it until the red receiver reaches 100% and disappears.
- Bring the blue 3x3 receiver back from the right side beneath the remaining blue mound, shifting across the outlet until it reaches 100% and clears.
- Lift the 71% green 1x1 from lower left to the far-right green tail; its 100% clear empties the board.
Colors in this level:
Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Cyan
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Leaving the 81% blue square in the center while the 92% yellow bar still needs the upper-right tail.
- Moving both yellow bars away from the central outlet.
- Leaving a bar fixed while released sand slopes beyond its footprint.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 38 (quick clues)
- Check 6, 3, and 1 after the red-square, green-square, and green-bar groups.
- Save both yellow bars for the center-yellow mound after the ice opens.
- Sweep the released reservoir from inside edges outward.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A full-width reservoir is red left, green right, blue upper-center, and yellow lower-center. A large cyan 10 blocks its outlet. Stacked red/green 1x1 squares and 1x2 bars line both sides; two yellow 1x2 receivers sit at bottom center.
- Goal
- Use four red 1x1, three green 1x1, two green 1x2, and one red 1x2 clears to remove the counter; then preserve the partial yellow and green receivers while the blue 3x3 square shuttles center-to-right and back.
- Opening
- Move the four red 1x1 squares from the left cluster into the red outlet in top-to-bottom order; their clears produce 10->9->8->7->6.
- Danger Zone
- Leaving the blue 3x3 square in the center blocks the 92% yellow bar from the upper-right tail; park blue on the right, clear yellow and red, then return blue while the 71% green square keeps its far-right route.
- Mechanics
- Counter stages are red squares 10->6, green squares 6->3, green bars 3->1, and left red bar 1->0. The zero-count ice becomes a movable blue 3x3 receiver.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the central 10 decrease?
Four red squares take 10 to 6, three green squares take 6 to 3, two green bars take 3 to 1, and the left red bar takes 1 to zero.
Why use both sides?
Keep the partially filled yellow and green receivers parked at the edges while the large blue square crosses the center; each then retains a route to its final sand tail.
What clears after the counter?
Collect red on the left, blue/yellow through the center, and green on the right.
