Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 412 Walkthrough
Level 412 uses two top pipes, three large bottom tanks and a central counted gate. The right pipe starts with a 7 counter, the lower tanks start as white 2, pink 4 and brown 4, and the board later turns into a fast two-pipe finish. The last yellow square clears with about two seconds left and the clear animation starts at about 0:01.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 412 — Full Solution
- 2:00-1:51 - Start with the two upper pipes. Clear small top receivers under the pink left pipe and the right counter pipe; the right counter drops from 7 to 6, and the center pink tank drops from 4 to 3.
- 1:36-1:31 - Continue clearing red, white, yellow and magenta receivers around the top grid. The right counter reaches 4 and then 3, and a central counted gate appears below with badge 6.
- 1:20-1:17 - Move the white and purple receivers out of the middle, then use the white left pipe and brown right pipe. The central counter drops from 6 to 5 around 1:20.
- 1:11 - Place the brown L under the right pipe; it is 52% full. The right large brown tank is still marked 3, so keep the route to it clear.
- 1:03-0:57 - The right pipe shifts through brown into purple, and the lower-right tank opens out into smaller receivers. Clear the small white, red, blue and purple pieces so the central lane stays empty.
- 0:51 - The two top pipes have changed: the left pipe shows blue with red queued above it, and the right pipe shows purple. Use this pause to reposition the red L and the yellow/green pieces.
- 0:31-0:27 - The right pipe shows green over purple, and the left pipe shows red over blue. The central gate drops from 5 to 4 and then to 3 as the blue T and yellow receivers clear.
- 0:25-0:22 - Keep feeding the central gate. It falls to 2 at about 0:25 and 1 at about 0:22 while red and purple pieces are cleared.
- 0:17-0:11 - The left pipe is red and the right pipe is green. Put the red L under the left pipe; it is full at about 0:11. Do not cover the right green pipe.
- 0:10-0:07 - Clear the green receivers from the right pipe. A green L fills at about 0:07.
- 0:06-0:02 - The right pipe turns yellow. Feed the remaining yellow L and square pieces in order; the last yellow square clears at about 0:02.
- 0:01 - The board is empty and the clear animation starts.
Colors in this level:
Pink, White, Brown, Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Purple, Magenta
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Filling the large tanks while the small top receivers block the counted pipe mouth.
- Parking the yellow L over the central gate. The gate has to count down before the finish can happen.
- Missing the pipe color change around 0:51. The finish needs red on the left and green/yellow on the right, not the earlier brown/purple layout.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 412 (quick clues)
- Keep the top grid moving until the right-pipe counter is gone.
- Do not let the yellow or brown L receivers cover the central gate.
- At about 0:51, reset your plan: the left pipe is blue/red and the right pipe is purple, then green and yellow.
- When the central gate reaches 1, feed red from the left and green/yellow from the right without extra shuffling.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Landscape board with two vertical top pipes. The left pipe begins pink; the right pipe begins as a pale brown/white pipe with a visible counter 7. Below the small upper grid are three large bottom tanks: white on the left marked 2, pink in the center marked 4, and brown on the right marked 4. The upper grid starts with small blue, green, red, magenta, white, purple and yellow receivers. A central bottom gate appears later with a red badge 6 and counts down as the lower board opens.
- Goal
- Use the first half to spend the right pipe counter and empty the three large tanks. Then work through the central counter. Once it reaches 1, stop rearranging and feed the final red, green and yellow receivers directly from the two top pipes.
- Opening
- At about 2:00 the right top counter is 7. By 1:51 it is 6, and the center pink tank has dropped to 3. Continue moving small top receivers between the two pipes so the counters fall without covering the three large tanks.
- Danger Zone
- Do not trap the central gate behind the yellow and brown L pieces. The gate is still active around 0:31 and drops from 5 to 1 between about 0:31 and 0:22, leaving little time for the final red/green/yellow sequence.
- Mechanics
- Dual top pipes change colors independently. The right pipe has a visible early counter, the lower board has three large counted tanks, and the central gate creates a second counted phase before the final clear.
