How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 43 — Full Solution
- Drag the upper green horizontal receiver left beneath the left well and let the green band settle into it.
- Move the upper magenta silver-key bar from the center crossing to the right well's lower opening.
- Shift the right red 1x1 into the far-right lane, then raise the yellow L below the right yellow band.
- Pull the orange horizontal receiver across the upper center and hold it under the left orange stream until it disappears.
- Move the second green horizontal receiver under the exposed right green stream and wait for it to disappear.
- Fill the upper magenta silver-key bar from pink; its disappearance changes left ice 2 to 1 and right ice 4 to 3, then its key changes yellow lock 2 to 1.
- Fill the cyan gold-key bar at the left outlet; its disappearance removes left ice from 1 and changes right ice 3 to 2, then its key changes blue lock 2 to 1.
- Hold the yellow L beneath right yellow sand until it disappears; left ice stays gone, right ice changes from 2 to 1, and both key locks stay at 1.
- Fill the green 1x1 from the exposed green grains; at 100% it disappears and removes right ice from 1 while both key locks stay at 1.
- Lift the blue L around the fixed post, place its long leg under left blue sand, and hold through the visible 29% state.
- Place the tall green frame beneath the central orange pile and hold it until the frame disappears.
- Drag the orange 1x1 under the small pile at the post's foot and let the square disappear at 100%.
- Return the blue L to the left outlet and hold it through 52% until it reaches 100% and disappears.
- Watch the blue L's gold key enter the blue lock marked 1; the blue horizontal receiver unlocks.
- Move the lower magenta silver-key bar along the bottom lane, fill it from pink, and let it disappear.
- Watch that silver key enter the yellow lock marked 1; the yellow horizontal receiver unlocks.
- Raise the unlocked blue bar beneath the last left blue band and hold it until both band and receiver vanish.
- Raise the unlocked yellow bar beneath the last right yellow band and hold it until both band and receiver vanish.
- Fill the upper-left and upper-right red 1x1 receivers from the exposed red caps; each disappears at 100%.
- Confirm both wells contain no sand and every movable receiver is gone; the fixed lavender center column remains when confetti starts.
Colors in this level:
Red, Blue, Pink, Yellow, Cyan, Green, Orange, Magenta
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Confusing the icy 2/4 counters with the two key locks.
- Parking a wide bar where the fixed center column blocks its exit.
- Moving the blue L before sand in its inner corner has settled.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 43 (quick clues)
- Use the upper route past the fixed lavender post for every horizontal bar before the lower lane closes.
- Check each silver key at the yellow lock and each gold key at the blue lock.
- Track the left 2-ice tile and right 4-ice tile separately from both 2-key locks.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- The left well is red/blue/pink and the right is red/yellow/cyan. A fixed lavender column divides the lower grid, whose blue and yellow L pieces sit above icy edge counters 2 and 4 and locked yellow/blue bottom bars marked 2.
- Goal
- Clear both ice tiles, feed the upper and lower magenta silver keys into the yellow lock, feed the cyan bar and blue L gold keys into the blue lock, and empty both wells around the fixed post.
- Opening
- Move the upper green bar left, place the upper magenta key bar at the right opening, shift the right red square aside, and lift the yellow L beneath yellow sand.
- Danger Zone
- The fixed lavender post blocks the center lane. Ice values can reach zero while both locks still read 1, so each key flight must be checked at its matching lock.
- Mechanics
- Left ice changes 2 to 1 to gone and right ice changes 4 to 3 to 2 to 1 to gone. Magenta keys open yellow's silver lock; cyan and blue keys open blue's gold lock.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the 2 and 4 edge numbers mean?
They are ice counters reduced by receiver completions, separate from the bottom key locks.
Why are the bottom yellow and blue bars unavailable?
Each begins behind a 2-key lock and becomes movable only after its key feeds finish.
