Sand Shape Level 7 Walkthrough
Sand Shape Level 7 is a 24-cell stepped board for six matching L tetrominoes. The clean run fills the red and orange right side first, then works through the yellow, cyan, green, and blue regions.
Board Notes
- Layout
- The playable cells fit a 7-row by 4-column box: the top starts at column 1 and ends at column 3, rows 3-5 span all four columns, and the bottom resumes at column 2. The rule card shows a four-cell L shape.
- Goal
- Partition the board into six L tetrominoes: blue `r1c1`, `r1c2`, `r1c3`, `r2c1`; red `r2c2`, `r2c3`, `r3c3`, `r4c3`; cyan `r3c1`, `r3c2`, `r4c1`, `r5c1`; orange `r3c4`, `r4c4`, `r5c3`, `r5c4`; yellow `r4c2`, `r5c2`, `r6c2`, `r6c3`; and green `r6c4`, `r7c2`, `r7c3`, `r7c4`.
- Opening
- Begin with the red vertical L on the upper-right, then fill the orange L on the right edge before moving to the yellow lower-middle region.
- Danger Zone
- The central cells are shared by several tempting shapes. Keep `r3c3`-`r4c3` with red, `r3c4`-`r4c4` with orange, and reserve `r5c2` for the yellow L rather than extending cyan across the middle.
- Mechanics
- The video shows six successful four-cell fills matching the displayed L tetromino. No invalid placement or penalty is visible, so the walkthrough does not claim a life cost or a reset rule.
Quick Tips for Sand Shape Level 7 (spoiler-free)
- Solve the board as six four-cell Ls, not as long vertical strips; the repeated shape is allowed to rotate.
- Before filling the bottom green L, leave `r6c4` open so it can connect the right edge to the three cells in row 7.
- If the board feels stuck, look for the color with the cleanest path and use that to regain space.
How to Solve Sand Shape Level 7 — Full Solution
- Fill the red upper-right L: `r2c2`, `r2c3`, `r3c3`, and `r4c3`.
- Fill the orange right-edge L: `r3c4`, `r4c4`, `r5c3`, and `r5c4`.
- Fill the yellow lower-middle L: `r4c2`, `r5c2`, `r6c2`, and `r6c3`.
- Fill the cyan left-side L: `r3c1`, `r3c2`, `r4c1`, and `r5c1`.
- Fill the green bottom L: `r6c4`, `r7c2`, `r7c3`, and `r7c4`.
- Finish with the blue top L: `r1c1`, `r1c2`, `r1c3`, and `r2c1`, then wait for the completion transition.
Colors in this level:
Blue, Red, Cyan, Orange, Yellow, Green
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using `r5c2` for the cyan region; it is the top-left cell of the yellow L.
- Filling the top blue L too early and losing the reference cells needed to identify the red L below it.
- Treating `r6c2`-`r7c4` as one broad bottom band instead of the separate yellow and green tetrominoes.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many cells are in each region in Sand Shape Level 7?
Each region has four cells and must match the displayed L tetromino. The 24-cell board therefore resolves into six regions.
Which region should be filled last?
The walkthrough finishes with the blue top region: `r1c1`, `r1c2`, `r1c3`, and `r2c1`.
