Sand Shape level guide
Sand Shape Level 16 Walkthrough
Sand Shape Level 16 uses six copies of a six-cell symmetric shape on a large stepped board. After the rejected preview clears, solve the left group first and then close the three regions on the right.
Board Notes
- Layout
- The board is a broad stepped rectangle with three lower notches and two raised tabs at the top. The Required Shapes card shows a six-cell shape with two upper shoulders, a middle bar, and a centered lower cell.
- Goal
- Fill six matching regions: upper-left yellow, middle-left green, lower-left turquoise, upper-right purple, middle-right blue, and lower-right red. Each accepted region matches the six-cell card shape.
- Opening
- The source first shows a red-hatched rejected preview. On the clean run, start with the yellow upper-left region, then continue through green and turquoise before solving the right side.
- Danger Zone
- The raised tabs and lower notches are part of the outline, not extra storage. Keep each six-cell region inside one stepped area and do not use the white cells outside the colored final groups.
- Mechanics
- The Required Shapes card shows one six-cell symmetric shape. The video confirms six accepted placements and a completed compact board; it does not establish a life penalty for the rejected preview.
Quick Tips for Sand Shape Level 16 (spoiler-free)
- Treat each region as a fixed six-cell stencil; the repeated shape is more reliable than color adjacency.
- Clear the left three regions before using the right-side blue and purple spaces.
- Think in chain clears. The best move is the one that sets up the next two moves, not just the quickest current match.
How to Solve Sand Shape Level 16 — Full Solution

Common Mistakes to Avoid
