Sand Shape Level 81 is a compact, notched Required Shapes board. Keep the raised pink block, peach shelf, yellow hook, green neck, cyan base, and blue pocket separate; the video's red X shows why yellow cannot drop through the centre gate.

- Read the upper gate as the border between yellow and green.
- Keep the lower-right pocket for blue until cyan is fixed.
- Use the red-X preview to rule out yellow's centre extension.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- An irregular compact grid with a raised two-column top block, left middle shelf, narrow centre neck, lower four-column base, and detached-right pocket.
- Goal
- Complete six visibly different connected shapes: pink top block, peach shelf, yellow upper-right hook, green centre stem, cyan lower-left base, and blue lower-right pocket.
- Opening
- The verified video fills pink first, peach second, rejects an overextended yellow attempt, then uses green for the centre stem before closing cyan and blue below.
- Danger Zone
- The cell directly below the upper horizontal gate is for the green stem. Extending yellow there is visibly marked with a red X.
- Mechanics
- Required Shapes rule card: 'Difference connects different shapes.' The source visibly verifies a rejected yellow connection and the final completion board.
