How to clear Sand Blocks Level 138

For the exact move order on Level 138, watch the video walkthrough above from start to finish — every clear published here is a real, unedited run of this board. The principles below are the ones our editors apply to Intermediate boards when they retry one themselves.

  1. 1

    Scan before you pull

    Before committing to a move, find every color on the board and the pit that holds the most grains of it. The survey is what makes the order obvious.

  2. 2

    Open the biggest pit first

    The largest flow takes the longest to drain. Filling it early frees the most space for every pull that follows.

  3. 3

    Plan the order, not the speed

    There is no move limit here — only the clock. A few seconds spent deciding which color goes next saves a full restart.

  4. 4

    Unblock before you commit

    When one color's flow would settle sand around another color's grains, clear the blocking flow first. Pulling into a trapped pit wastes moves you cannot get back.

  5. 5

    Sweep the edge pits early

    Edge pockets rarely block the center, so take them while the board is still open and the drags are cheap.

  6. 6

    Save scattered grains for last

    Strays need the most pulling to gather. Once the big colors have settled, the leftovers drain fast.

Pro tips for Sand Blocks Level 138

One watch beats three guesses

Look at a full clear before playing. Following one correct order once is faster than discovering it through repeated restarts.

Never wall off a color

If settling one flow would trap another color's grains in a corner, deal with the blocking flow first.

Leave the strays

Do not chase scattered grains early. Wait until the board has opened, then drain them in one motion.
