Sand Shape Level 126 Walkthrough
Sand Shape Level 126 is an area-4 cross board. Paint the pink top 2×2, mirror yellow and green across the centre diamond, drop the cyan mid belt unlike both wings, then close the blue bottom stem.

How to Solve Sand Shape Level 126 — Full Solution
- Fill pink as the top 2×2 head above the centre wall stub.
- Fill yellow as the left upper tetromino — outer left-wing cells plus the upper-centre cell left of the diamond — after discarding any partial peach left-wing preview.
- Fill green as the matching right upper tetromino — outer right-wing cells plus the upper-centre cell right of the diamond — so the centre Similarity diamond joins identical shapes.
- Fill cyan as the mid horizontal tetromino under yellow and green, crossing both wing triangles so each Difference join stays unlike.
- Close blue as the bottom 2×2 stem under cyan, then wait for the completion fireworks.
Colors in this level:
Pink, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Keeping the partial peach left-wing dab instead of rebuilding as the yellow upper tetromino.
- Painting the mid horizontal belt as part of yellow or green so a wing triangle joins matching shapes.
- Extending cyan into the bottom stem so a region exceeds four cells.
Quick Tips for Sand Shape Level 126 (spoiler-free)
- Start with the pink top 2×2 so the head is locked before the wings.
- Build yellow and green as matching tetrominoes across the centre diamond.
- Keep cyan as a different mid-belt silhouette from both wings, then drop blue as the bottom 2×2.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A plus-shaped cream board has a top 2×2 head, left and right wings on a two-row bar, a bottom 2×2 stem, a vertical centre wall stub, a top-centre Similarity diamond, and left/right Difference triangles on the wing walls.
- Goal
- Partition the cross into five 4-cell regions so the centre diamond joins matching shapes and both wing triangles join unlike shapes.
- Opening
- The verified run fills pink as the full top 2×2 head, discards a partial peach left-wing dab, then locks yellow on the left upper tetromino.
- Danger Zone
- A partial peach left-wing fill is erased before yellow. Merging the mid belt into yellow or green fails both Difference triangles; merging the bottom stem into cyan overfills the area-4 card.
- Mechanics
- All regions' area must be 4, Similarity connects same shapes across the centre diamond, and Difference connects different shapes across the wing triangles.
Frequently Asked Questions
What rules does Sand Shape Level 126 use?
Every region must cover exactly four cells, the centre diamond must join matching shapes, and both wing triangles must join different shapes.
What is the safest opening for Level 126?
Fill the pink top 2×2 first, skip any partial peach left dab, then lock yellow and green as matching upper tetrominoes across the diamond.
How do yellow and green relate to cyan?
Yellow and green match each other across the centre diamond. Cyan sits under both and must stay unlike each wing across the left and right Difference triangles.
