Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 46 Walkthrough

expert 7 colors

Level 46 combines cyan counters at 17 and 8 with three key carriers and a locked yellow 3x3 square. After the yellow square makes 4→3, the exact tail is first purple L for 3→2, green vertical for 2→1, second purple L for 1→0, then the lone right-wall cyan finish.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 46 — Full Solution

  1. Raise the green vertical on the upper-left wall beneath the left green sand; confirm counters 16/7 after it clears.
  2. Lift the cyan vertical from the left-middle pocket into the central cyan chute.
  3. Move the lower-left green vertical up the left wall into the settled green wedge.
  4. Slide the locked yellow square right just far enough to expose the purple corner, then park it back in the lower-left area outside the center lane.
  5. Raise the leftmost orange vertical beneath the orange top band; confirm paired counters 15/6.
  6. Move the cyan vertical immediately left of the yellow slab upward into the eight-count cyan column.
  7. Lift the inner orange vertical from the upper-left pair beneath the orange sand.
  8. Shuttle the left white one-cell receiver from the upper-right cluster beneath its white cell and wait for it to vanish.
  9. Raise the adjacent black one-cell receiver beneath the black cell in the same cluster.
  10. Move the lower-right green vertical up the right wall to the green remnant.
  11. Raise the inner-right green vertical through the cleared checker space and fill it beneath green sand.
  12. Move the bottom white one-cell receiver through the center to its white cell; confirm paired counters 14/5.
  13. Lift the black one-cell receiver directly below it into the black target; confirm 13/4.
  14. Raise the orange vertical from the left-middle pocket beneath the orange band; confirm 12/3.
  15. Move the white one-cell receiver at the left side of the checker route upward; after it clears, confirm 11/2.
  16. Raise the orange vertical from the lower-left corridor along the left wall into orange sand; confirm 10/1.
  17. Move the last one-cell blocker into its matching checker cell; confirm 9/0 and wait for the lower cyan counter to disappear.
  18. Lift the upper-right black key square into its checker target and wait for the first key to reach the yellow lock.
  19. Raise the far-right green vertical beneath the green remnant; confirm the solo upper counter changes 9 to 8.
  20. Move the right-side cyan vertical beneath the cyan band; confirm 8 to 7 and wait for its key to reach the lock.
  21. Lift the second right-side cyan vertical into the same fall line; confirm 7 to 6.
  22. Raise the upper-right orange vertical beneath the orange wedge; from about 99% at frame 368, let it clear at frame 370, change 6 to 5, and send the third key toward the yellow 3-lock.
  23. Finish the right-side cyan vertical at 100% around frame 372; its separate clear changes 5 to 4 while the third key finishes releasing the yellow lock.
  24. Center the now-unlocked yellow 3x3 beneath the released yellow sand at frames 382-386; hold until all nine cells fill, it reaches 100% and disappears around frame 388, and the upper counter shows 3.
  25. At frame 390, move the first purple L from the left into the central footprint with its elbow down-right; at 100% around frame 392 it clears and changes 3 to 2.
  26. At frame 396, move the second purple L from the right into that footprint with its elbow down-left; leave it filling while the green route stays open.
  27. Raise the green vertical through the center-right column at frames 398-400; its two cells reach 100%, clear, and change 2 to 1.
  28. Hold the seated second purple L until it reaches 100% at frame 402; its clear changes 1 to 0, then the cyan counter disappears at frame 404.
  29. Raise the lone right-wall cyan vertical straight into the right cyan pocket at frames 406-410; its clear leaves the grid empty and triggers confetti.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Reading a counter decrement as proof that a key registered; keys have separate travel animations to the yellow badge.
  • If the checker shuttle is blocked, recover by parking the locked yellow square low and reopening the center before moving another one-cell receiver.

Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 46 (quick clues)

  • Wait for both counter digits to settle before moving the following small receiver.
  • Check the yellow badge after each key animation; do not infer key registration from a counter change.
Board notes 5 details
Layout
Green sand sits upper-left, a cyan 17-count column stands top-center, and orange sand sits upper-right. Orange/cyan verticals, a black-white one-cell cluster, side green bars, a yellow slab, purple corridors, and a three-key yellow square fill the grid.
Goal
Reach paired 9/0, register all three keys, use orange for 6→5 and cyan for 5→4, clear the unlocked yellow 3x3 for 4→3, then use purple, green, and purple for 3→2→1→0 before the right-wall cyan finish.
Opening
Clear the upper-left green vertical, left cyan vertical, lower-left green vertical, and upper orange/cyan pieces while reading both counter faces after each completion.
Danger Zone
Parking the locked 3x3 square in the middle blocks the black/white shuttle and the two side corridors.
Mechanics
The counters fall together through 17/8 → 16/7 → 15/6 → 14/5 → 13/4 → 12/3 → 11/2 → 10/1 → 9/0. After orange 6→5, cyan 5→4, and yellow 4→3, the first purple L makes 3→2, green makes 2→1, and the prefilled second purple L makes 1→0.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How can I tell which key is missing?

    Inspect the three carriers: the upper-right checker key, right-side cyan key, and upper-right orange key each disappear after sending a visible key to the badge.

  • What checkpoint proves the lower counter phase is complete?

    The board must show upper 9 and lower 0; the lower cyan column then vanishes while the upper column remains active.
