How to Solve Sand Shape Level 116 — Full Solution
- Discard the rejected oversized pink left mega-block, then rebuild pink as the upper-left nine-cell block that owns the top red flame and the left green of the mid triple.
- Fill peach as the right E-corridor nine-cell block around the upper-right green leaf and the mid-right red flame.
- Drop yellow as the mid band under the two left holes so it owns the lower mid green of the triple and the lower-mid red flame.
- Close lime across the bottom feet and bottom-right stub so it owns the lower-right green leaf and the bottom red flame, then wait for the completion fireworks.
Colors in this level:
Pink, Peach, Yellow, Lime
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Keeping the oversized pink mega-block that steals yellow's mid-band gems.
- Letting any colour collect two green leaves or two red flames inside one region.
Quick Tips for Sand Shape Level 116 (spoiler-free)
- Pair one green leaf with one red flame before painting each 3×3.
- Keep peach on the right E-corridor only — leave the lower-mid pair for yellow.
- Discard the opening red-X pink preview; it is not a solution move.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- An irregular castle-outline cream board has top battlements, two left vertical holes, two right square holes with an E-notch right edge, two bottom feet, a bottom-right stub, four green leaf gems, and four red flame gems.
- Goal
- Partition the board into four nine-cell 3×3 regions so each region contains exactly one green leaf and exactly one red flame.
- Opening
- The video rejects an oversized pink left mega-block with a red X, then rebuilds pink as the smaller upper-left block around the top red flame and the left mid green leaf.
- Danger Zone
- The first oversized pink fill swallows mid-band cells and extra gems; any region that collects two greens or two reds also breaks the one-of-each-gem rule.
- Mechanics
- Required Shapes shows a nine-cell 3×3 square; Each shape has exactly one of each gem (green leaf and red flame).
Frequently Asked Questions
What rules does Sand Shape Level 116 use?
Required Shapes limits every region to the nine-cell 3×3 square, and each shape must contain exactly one green leaf and exactly one red flame.
Why does Level 116 show a red X on the first pink fill?
That pink block is too large and takes gems meant for later colours. Rebuild pink as the smaller upper-left pair around the top red flame and left mid green only.
