Sand Shape Level 25 Walkthrough
Sand Shape Level 25 tiles a 7x8 stepped coordinate grid with ten L and zigzag tetrominoes. Lock the two top shapes, bridge through `r2c4`-`r4c5`, then reserve the right extension for the turquoise and blue closures.
Board Notes
- Layout
- Use a 7-column by 8-row coordinate box with `r1c1` at the upper-left. The board has an upper-left-middle cavity, a center square cavity at `r6c3`, a lower notch below `r8c2`-`r8c4`, and a far-right lower extension. The card shows a four-cell L and a four-cell zigzag tetromino.
- Goal
- Cover every playable cell with ten four-cell regions: pink `r1c1`/`r1c2`/`r2c2`/`r2c3`; yellow `r1c7`/`r2c5`-`r2c7`; peach `r2c4`/`r3c4`/`r3c5`/`r4c5`; coral `r3c1`/`r4c1`-`r4c3`; lime `r5c1`-`r5c3`/`r6c1`; cream `r6c2`/`r7c1`-`r7c2`/`r8c1`; green `r4c4`/`r5c4`/`r6c4`-`r6c5`; turquoise `r5c5`-`r5c6`/`r6c6`/`r7c6`; purple `r7c3`-`r7c5`/`r8c5`; and blue `r6c7`/`r7c7`/`r8c6`-`r8c7`.
- Opening
- The observed run starts with pink, yellow, and peach across the top, then works through coral and lime on the left before completing green, turquoise, purple, cream, and blue below.
- Danger Zone
- Do not use `r6c3`, the fixed center cavity, or stretch either four-cell outline to bend around a cavity. The cream zigzag must remain separate from the lime L along the left side.
- Mechanics
- Level 25 uses Required Shapes instead of the gem rule. The locally verified source confirms an L tetromino, a zigzag tetromino, and a ten-region completed board.
Quick Tips for Sand Shape Level 25 (spoiler-free)
- Lock the pink `r1c1`/`r1c2`/`r2c2`/`r2c3` zigzag and yellow top-right L before filling the middle.
- Keep `r6c7`, `r7c7`, `r8c6`, and `r8c7` empty until the blue L closure is ready.
- The cream zigzag uses `r6c2`, `r7c1`, `r7c2`, and `r8c1`; do not merge it with the lime L above it.
How to Solve Sand Shape Level 25 — Full Solution
- Fill the pink zigzag `r1c1`, `r1c2`, `r2c2`, and `r2c3`.
- Fill the yellow L with `r1c7` above `r2c5`, `r2c6`, and `r2c7`.
- Fill the peach zigzag `r2c4`, `r3c4`, `r3c5`, and `r4c5`.
- Fill the coral L `r3c1`, `r4c1`, `r4c2`, and `r4c3`.
- Fill the lime L `r5c1`, `r5c2`, `r5c3`, and `r6c1`.
- Fill the green L `r4c4`, `r5c4`, `r6c4`, and `r6c5`, leaving `r6c3` empty.
- Fill the turquoise L `r5c5`, `r5c6`, `r6c6`, and `r7c6`.
- Fill the purple L `r7c3`, `r7c4`, `r7c5`, and `r8c5`.
- Fill the cream zigzag `r6c2`, `r7c1`, `r7c2`, and `r8c1`.
- Finish with the blue L `r6c7`, `r7c7`, `r8c6`, and `r8c7`, then wait for completion.
Colors in this level:
Pink, Peach, Yellow, Coral, Lime, Cream, Green, Turquoise, Purple, Blue
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Counting the fixed center cavity `r6c3` as part of the green L.
- Using `r6c7`-`r8c7` before the turquoise L and blue L can both fit.
- Merging the cream zigzag with the lime L into a five-cell bend.
