How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 9 — Full Solution
- Move the upper-right cyan square from the center pack to the right cyan outlet and wait for 100%.
- Replace it with the lower-right cyan square to empty the right cyan pocket.
- Send the upper-left cyan square to the left outlet and let it disappear.
- Use the lower-left cyan square on the remaining left cyan grains.
- Put the left yellow 1x2 receiver beneath the left edge of the central yellow column.
- Move the right yellow 1x2 receiver beneath the column's right edge and clear it.
- Lift the large left yellow L with its arm across the mouth and its leg down the outside wall to take the left shoulder.
- Mirror that footprint with the large right yellow L and remove the remaining yellow shoulder.
- Lay the left white 2x1 bar beneath the left white cap and wait for 100%.
- Move the right white 2x1 bar beneath the final white cap to complete the empty board.
Colors in this level:
White, Yellow, Cyan
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using a yellow L on a narrow cyan outlet.
- Clearing only one side of a split color before moving to the next color.
- Moving a white bar while yellow still supports the white cap above it.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 9 (quick clues)
- Use all four cyan squares before extracting a yellow L.
- Clear the inner yellow verticals before swinging the wider L footprints upward.
- The two white bars are the final mirrored pair.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- The reservoir is white-yellow-white across its top and cyan-yellow-cyan across its bottom. A six-column grid holds white 2x1 bars at both upper corners, large yellow L receivers on both outer sides, yellow 1x2 receivers inside them, and four cyan squares in a central 2x2 pack.
- Goal
- Drain the two narrow cyan outlets, then the central and shoulder yellow sand, and finally the two white caps until reservoir and receiver grid are empty.
- Opening
- Move the two right cyan squares through the right outlet, then mirror the action with the two left cyan squares.
- Danger Zone
- Either yellow L spans a cyan outlet plus neighboring cells; moving it before the one-cell cyan catches are gone blocks a corner stream.
- Mechanics
- The sand and receiver packing are mirror-symmetric, but each split color region requires its own receiver and a separate wait-for-settling phase.
