Sand Blocks level guide
Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 382 Walkthrough
Level 382 is covered in numbers: glass caps of 12, 6 and 25 over three outlets, cyan ice blocks, plaid wrappers and a shutter marked 5. They all drop by one for every clear. Only the white outlet is open at the start. The hard part is a 30-second stretch with no clear while the cyan receivers are buried. After that, wrappers opening at 1 give you the green key for the blue padlock. The board clears with about 0:04 left.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 382 — Full Solution
- At about 2:20 on the timer, let the white vertical under the white notch fill. Its clear drops every number by one: cyan glass 11, yellow 5, orange 24, shutter 4.
- Feed the small whites and a white vertical to the notch. The shutter reads 3 at about 2:06, 2 at 2:05 and 1 at 2:03.
- The last white vertical fills as the white pipe turns green (about 1:58). The shutter lifts at 1:57 and shows the padlocked blue receiver, the dispenser marked 3 and more wrappers.
- Clear one more white at the notch; the yellow glass breaks at about 1:41. Put yellow verticals under c5: clears at about 1:35, 1:29 and 1:22 bring the cyan glass down to 2, and one more at 1:19 leaves it at 1.
- Drag the dispenser's yellow vertical out and under the yellow outlet. It fills at about 1:08 and the badge drops to 2 with a cyan piece inside. The cyan glass and the ice blocks marked 1 break at 1:07, freeing an orange bar and a brown piece.
- Fill cyan under the left hopper while it runs: the counters read 13 at 1:07, 12 at 1:06, 11 at 1:03 and 10 at 1:02.
- Now the long stall: the yellow outlet turns blue, but blue is padlocked and green is wrapped. Pull the cyan bar out of the dispenser (badge 1 at about 0:45) and then the green vertical (box gone at 0:40), and work a cyan bar back under the cyan hopper.
- The cyan bar clears at about 0:31. The numbers drop to 9, the wrappers marked 1 open into green pieces including a key vertical, and the ice over c1-c2 breaks to show a red bar.
- Fill the cyan-rimmed square under the cyan hopper (full at 0:29); it stays on the board as an orange square. Put the green key vertical under the green outlet. It fills at 0:28-0:27, the key flies to the padlock and the lock breaks at 0:26.
- Slide the freed blue receiver under the blue outlet; it is filling at about 0:23 and the numbers read 4 at 0:22. The outlet then pours brown: two brown clears take the counters to 1 by 0:20.
- Clear the brown L (44% at about 0:15). The orange glass and the last ice break at 0:14, showing two red bars.
- Fill the orange square under the orange hopper (0:12) and the orange L (full at 0:09); the last wrappers open into dark green receivers at 0:10.
- Finish under the left hopper: dark green first (full at 0:07), then the red bars, 22% at 0:06 and 100% at 0:05. The last red clears at 0:04 and the board is empty.
Colors in this level:
White, Yellow, Cyan, Green, Blue, Brown, Orange, Red
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Letting the stall at 10 run on. About 30 seconds passed with no clear while the cyan pieces were dug out.
- Ignoring the dispenser: its yellow, cyan and green pieces are what break the cyan glass and later open the lock.
- Parking wrappers where the key vertical or the cyan square needs to go, since wrapped pieces can't catch sand until they open.
- Holding red receivers too long: red only arrives from the left hopper in the last seconds, after dark green.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 382 (quick clues)
- Every number on the board is one counter. Clearing any receiver chips at the ice, wrappers, caps and shutter together.
- Wrappers can be dragged. Stack them out of the way, since their green pieces only appear when the count runs out.
- When the wrapped key vertical opens, fill it under the green outlet right away; the blue padlock stays shut until then.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Seven columns. Four outlets along the top: cyan under glass 12 (c1-c2), an open white notch (c3), yellow under glass 6 (c5) and orange under glass 25 (c6-c7). Below them sit cyan ice blocks marked 12, 16 and 25, plaid wrappers marked 16 and 27, a white vertical in c3, small cyan, white and yellow receivers, an orange bar and a yellow vertical. A shutter marked 5 covers the lower half. Behind it are a blue receiver under a padlock (c1, bottom), brown and orange bars and Ls, a big cyan-rimmed square, more wrappers, and an orange dispenser with a red 3 badge at the bottom right.
- Goal
- Five white clears lift the shutter at about 1:57, and the sixth breaks the yellow glass. The cyan glass breaks at about 1:07 and the orange at 0:14. The last wrappers open into green receivers, and the final red bar clears at 0:04.
- Opening
- The white vertical under the white notch fills at about 2:20 and every number drops by one (shutter 4, yellow glass 5). More whites follow: shutter 3 at 2:06, 2 at 2:05, 1 at 2:03. A white vertical fills at 1:58 as the white pipe turns green, and the shutter lifts at 1:57.
- Danger Zone
- The numbers read 10 from about 1:02 to 0:32 and nothing cleared. Blue sat behind the padlock, green was still wrapped, and the cyan bar and cyan-rimmed square were buried. Get the dispenser's cyan bar out early and keep a cyan receiver under the cyan hopper after the glass breaks at 1:07.
- Mechanics
- Shared clear counter across three glass caps, the ice blocks, the plaid wrappers and the shutter. Ice holds receivers: an orange bar, a brown piece and later red bars. Plaid wrappers can be dragged, and at zero they open into green pieces, one of them a key vertical. The key flies to the padlock at about 0:27. Outlets switch colour: white to green, yellow to blue to brown, cyan to dark green to red. The dispenser hands out yellow, cyan and green. The big square fills cyan first and then turns orange.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do the ice blocks and wrappers count down separately?
No. Every number on the board, including the glass caps and the shutter, drops by one on each clear.
Where is the key for the blue padlock?
Inside a tall plaid wrapper on the right. It opens at about 0:31 into a green key vertical; fill that under the green outlet and the key flies to the lock at 0:27.
What is the orange box with the red 3?
A dispenser. It gives out a yellow vertical, a cyan bar and a green vertical in that order, and the badge drops each time.
Why does the big square turn orange?
It takes two colours. After it fills with cyan at about 0:29 it stays as an orange square and needs the orange hopper.
