Sand Blocks level guide
Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 393 Walkthrough
Level 393 carries the game's Hard label, and every clear ticks down the glass over the green feed (3), the glass over the yellow feed (16) and two sets of pink blocks (23 and 6). Red sand from the open top-left hopper does the early work, a cyan key opens the padlock at 0:40, and three bottom crates marked 3 hand out the last receivers before the board empties at 0:17.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 393 — Full Solution
- At about 2:15 on the timer the counters read green 3, yellow 16 and pink 23 / 6. The red bar under the top-left hopper clears at once, dropping them to 2, 15, 22 and 5.
- Slide a second red receiver under the hopper; it clears at about 2:04 (green 1, yellow 14, pink 21 / 4).
- Park the red tall bar under the hopper. It clears at about 1:55 and breaks the green glass; yellow reads 13 and the pink blocks 20 / 3. Green sand starts pouring into the middle.
- Feed a green bar to the green outlet and another red to the hopper: by about 1:47 yellow reads 11 and the pink blocks 18 / 1, and the striped green bar has started to shorten.
- At about 1:41 the bottom-right crate hands out a red receiver (badge 2). Keep clearing: a green tall bar under the green outlet and a red square at the hopper take yellow to 10 at about 1:33 and 9 at 1:28. The 6-set pink blocks reach zero and vanish at 1:33.
- Around 1:22 the bottom-right crate gives out a green receiver (badge 1). The board is tight here; rearrange pieces until another red receiver clears at about 1:01 (yellow 8, pink 15).
- The hopper turns orange at about 0:55 and then pink. Clear an orange bar (100% at 0:52), a small pink piece (0:51) and a pink L (0:50); each one takes yellow down, reaching 2 by 0:49.
- A pink piece at the hopper clears at about 0:44 (yellow 1), and at 0:42 the yellow glass breaks; the hopper is now pouring cyan.
- Drag the cyan key receiver under the hopper. It fills at about 0:40, the key flies into the padlock and the lock opens; the pink 23-set reads 4 and keeps falling.
- Use the yellow outlet for the yellow tall bar and yellow L (both cleared by about 0:38) and the green outlet for the green pieces (0:35-0:33). The pink blocks run out and vanish at about 0:35, the striped bar is gone by 0:33, and the bottom-right crate is empty.
- Pull pieces from the middle and left crates as their badges drop (middle 2 at 0:32, left 2 at 0:28, left 1 at 0:25, middle 1 at 0:22): a brown square and a brown tall bar go to the right outlet (now pouring brown), a pink tall bar and a cyan square to the hopper, a dark-green bar under the side funnel, and a purple piece to the side funnel once it turns purple (100% at 0:24).
- Finish with the cyan L at the hopper (90% at 0:20), a green L at the green outlet (65% at 0:20) and the purple T from the last crate, which fills at the side funnel at about 0:18. The board is empty at 0:17.
Colors in this level:
Red, Green, Yellow, Orange, Pink, Cyan, Purple, Brown
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Holding off on quick red clears early; each one ticks down both glass counters and the pink blocks, and the yellow glass alone needs sixteen.
- Leaving the cyan key receiver buried behind pink blocks, so the key cannot be earned while the hopper is pouring cyan.
- Crowding the bottom edge after 0:35, which stops the middle and left crates from handing out the last brown, cyan, dark-green and purple receivers.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 393 (quick clues)
- Every clear counts toward the glass and the pink blocks, so cheap red clears early are worth more than careful placement.
- Keep the cyan key receiver near the top-left hopper; cyan arrives late and the padlock blocks the lower board until the key lands.
- The bottom-right crate starts handing out pieces early (1:41), the middle and left ones only after 0:33, so leave room along the bottom edge.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Six columns under three top feeds: an open red hopper at the top-left, green behind glass reading 3 in the middle, and yellow behind glass reading 16 at the top-right. The grid is crowded with pink checkered blocks carrying 23 or 6, a dark-green padlock piece, a cyan receiver stamped with a key, yellow and purple L pieces, red, green, orange and brown bars, and a glass side funnel on the left wall (holding dark-green sand) fed by a purple side pipe. A green striped bar with a star spans the lower board, and three crates marked 3 sit along the bottom edge.
- Goal
- Each clear lowers both glass counters and every pink block by one. Use red (and later orange and pink) from the top-left hopper to break the green glass, then keep clearing until the yellow glass breaks at 0:42. Fill the cyan key receiver to open the padlock, let the pink blocks run out, then pull the receivers out of the three bottom crates and finish them at the matching feeds.
- Opening
- A red bar sits under the hopper and clears within the first second, taking the counters to 2, 15, 22 and 5. The next red clear at about 2:04 on the timer makes them 1, 14, 21 and 4, and a red tall bar at about 1:55 breaks the green glass (yellow 13).
- Danger Zone
- The pink blocks cannot be removed by hand; they only disappear when their number reaches zero, so the 23 blocks clog the middle of the board until about 0:35. Park the cyan key receiver where it can reach the hopper once cyan sand arrives (about 0:47); the padlock and the lower part of the board stay closed until that key lands.
- Mechanics
- Glass counters over the green and yellow feeds; pink countdown blocks that vanish at zero (the 6 set at about 1:33, the 23 set at about 0:35); a key receiver and padlock; a top-left hopper that changes from red to orange, pink and cyan; a purple side pipe feeding a glass funnel on the left wall; a striped green bar that shortens as the level progresses; three crate dispensers with three receivers each.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the pink numbered blocks do?
They are obstacles that count down by one on every clear and vanish at zero. The set that starts at 6 disappears at about 1:33 on the timer; the set that starts at 23 lasts until about 0:35.
When does each glass break?
The green glass (3) breaks at about 1:55 after three red clears. The yellow glass (16) takes until about 0:42.
How does the padlock open?
Fill the cyan receiver stamped with a key. It does so at about 0:40 when cyan sand is coming from the top-left hopper; the key flies into the padlock and the lock disappears.
