Sand Shape Level 140 Walkthrough
Sand Shape Level 140 is a SUPER HARD area-4 stepped board. Lock the top pink/peach/yellow/green stack, thread cyan and blue through the right diamond, then close the bottom foot and left strip with coral, lime, dark green, sky, and violet.

How to Solve Sand Shape Level 140 — Full Solution
- Fill pink as the top-left 2×2 square.
- Fill peach as the top mid band right of pink, keeping the upper-left triangle joins unlike pink.
- Fill yellow as the upper-centre T under peach toward the upper diamond wall.
- Fill green as the top-right tetromino across the upper-right diamond.
- Fill cyan as the far-right vertical/L tetromino down the right ledge.
- Fill blue as the full mid-right tetromino under yellow so the upper-right Similarity diamond matches green; finish the silhouette if a partial-fill Similarity X appears.
- Fill purple as the lower-right step tetromino under blue.
- Fill rose as the centre-lower block across the centre Difference triangles, unlike its triangle neighbours.
- Fill coral as the bottom foot under rose.
- Fill lime as the bottom-left L left of coral across the lower diamond wall.
- Fill dark green as the mid-left tetromino above lime.
- Fill sky as the centre block between yellow, blue, rose, and dark green.
- Close violet as the left strip under pink into the last cream cells, then verify every diamond pair matches and every triangle pair differs.
Colors in this level:
Pink, Peach, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Purple, Rose, Coral, Lime, Dark green, Sky, Violet
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Stopping blue as a short dab under the upper diamond so Similarity stays red.
- Matching pink to peach across the upper-left triangles.
- Extending any stroke past four cells or leaving a three-cell stub so the area card fails.
Quick Tips for Sand Shape Level 140 (spoiler-free)
- Grow every stroke to a full four-cell silhouette before leaving a region.
- Keep pink unlike peach across the upper-left triangles.
- Treat rose as a second pink-family region on the centre-lower block, not an extension of the top-left 2×2.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- An irregular cream polyomino steps down on the right and bottom-right, with an upper-left Difference triangle cross, an upper-right Similarity diamond cross, a centre Difference triangle cross, and a lower-left Similarity diamond cross.
- Goal
- Tile every cell with area-4 tetrominoes so every diamond-marked join matches and every triangle-marked join stays unlike.
- Opening
- The verified run fills pink as the top-left 2×2, peach as the top mid band, yellow as the upper-centre T, then green as the top-right tetromino.
- Danger Zone
- Partial blue under the upper-right diamond flashes Similarity red X until the full matching silhouette is painted; pink and peach must stay unlike across the upper-left triangles; short stubs and 5+ floods fail the area-4 card.
- Mechanics
- All regions' area must be 4; Similarity connects same shapes; Difference connects different shapes across thirteen tetrominoes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the safest opening for Sand Shape Level 140?
Fill pink as the top-left 2×2, peach as the top mid band, yellow as the upper-centre T, then green as the top-right tetromino before touching the right ledge.
Why does Level 140 flash Similarity red X cards?
Partial blue under the upper-right diamond looks unlike green until the full matching tetromino is painted. The lower diamond can also lag red until the bottom-left cluster finishes its matching partners.
How many colour regions does Level 140 need?
Thirteen tetromino placements. Reused hues (pink/rose, green/dark green, purple/violet) always refer to different regions.
