How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 49 — Full Solution
- Raise the upper orange mosaic square beneath the center orange pocket; confirm floor rows 3/2/9/9.
- Lift the upper-left small yellow mosaic square beneath the left yellow pocket; confirm 2/1/8/8.
- Move the upper blue mosaic square left into the blue strip; confirm 1/0/7/7 and wait for the zero row to disappear.
- Slide the upper-right cyan mosaic square right beneath the cyan band; read 6/6 on the surviving rows.
- Raise the lower orange mosaic square through center into orange sand; confirm 5/5.
- Move the lower-left purple square into the left purple triangle; confirm 4/4.
- Slide the small yellow square from center-left beneath the left yellow pocket; confirm 3/3.
- Move the blue square from center into the left blue band; confirm 2/2.
- Slide the red horizontal key carrier from the lower-left row into the red receiver; at 100% its key reaches the right lock and changes 3 to 2.
- Move the magenta horizontal from the lower-left floor into the right magenta receiver. The last three cyan cells still show 1; hold until magenta reaches 100%, removes them, and changes the right lock from 2 to 1.
- Move the green L into the right green footprint with its long arm vertical and foot pointing left; at 100% its key reaches the left lock and changes 3 to 2 without opening it.
- Move red horizontal #2 into its red receiver and hold it to 100%; its key reaches the right lock and releases it.
- Stage the large yellow square bottom-left, blue square bottom-right, cyan square lower-left, and cyan short bar lower-right; these are routing moves, not clears.
- Raise the orange L through center with its arm pointing left and seat it beneath the central orange reservoir; hold to 100% and its key releases the left lock.
- Lift the exposed yellow square beneath the central yellow-orange slope for a partial fill, then park it back in the lower cluster without blocking either side lane.
- Move the blue horizontal double-arrow bar from the upper-right edge across to the left blue strip and hold to 100%.
- Raise the large cyan square from the lower-left cluster through the right lane beneath the right cyan reservoir; hold its full footprint until 100% and let it clear.
- Slide the cyan short horizontal from the right wall beneath the right cyan pocket; wait for 100% and its separate disappearance.
- Keep the blue square staged lower-right while moving the large cyan square from lower-left into the upper-right cyan fall; hold the cyan square through 100% and let it disappear.
- Raise the first orange square from the middle cluster beneath the central orange slope and hold to 100%.
- Park the right yellow square beneath the top-right yellow pocket, then raise the second orange square into the center orange fall and hold to 100%.
- Lift the blue square from lower-right into the upper-left blue strip; wait for its square footprint to fill and disappear.
- Place the two distinct yellow squares beneath the left and right yellow pockets; the right-hand square clears first while the left-hand square stays visible.
- Center the surviving left yellow square beneath the last yellow grains; hold through about 95% until it clears and the empty grid enters confetti.
Colors in this level:
Yellow, Orange, Blue, Cyan, Purple, Green, Red, Magenta
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Calling the last three cyan cells clear while they still show 1; recover by leaving magenta in its receiver until its 100% clear removes all three.
- If the late route jams, restore the staging pattern—yellow bottom-left, blue bottom-right, cyan square left, cyan bar right—before raising the orange L.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 49 (quick clues)
- Read every surviving cyan row after a counted clear.
- Keep large yellow footprints above the floor only after the corresponding row has vanished.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Yellow pockets sit at both top corners around a broad orange pocket. A 3-column yellow/orange/blue/cyan/purple mosaic sits above two key rows and cyan floor rows beginning 4, 3, 10, and 10; both locks show 3 when the key phase begins.
- Goal
- Remove each cyan floor row, use red horizontal #1, magenta, and red horizontal #2 to release the right lock, use green L and orange L to release the left lock, then clear the individually identified late receivers.
- Opening
- Clear upper orange, upper-left small yellow, upper blue, and upper-right cyan while checking the full floor sequence after each clear.
- Danger Zone
- A late large yellow square blocks a live cyan row. The square beside the left lock is a different object from the small yellow mosaic squares.
- Mechanics
- The last three cyan floor cells show 1 when magenta clears them, changing the right lock 2→1. Red #1 made right 3→2, red #2 later releases right from 1, green L makes left 3→2, and orange L releases left.
Frequently Asked Questions
What proves the two lock sequences are correct?
Right shows 3→2 after red #1 and 2→1 after magenta before red #2 releases it; left shows 3→2 after green L before orange L releases it. Do not invent unreadable zero or intermediate digits.
How do I avoid confusing the final yellow pieces?
Identify them by side: the right-hand square clears first, while the left-hand square survives to about 95% before clearing last.
