How to clear Sand Blocks Level 173
Stuck on Sand Blocks Level 173? It's an Intermediate board, beatable once you know which colors to feed first — the video above clears it end to end, and the steps below explain the pull order so you can repeat it.
- 1
Save scattered grains for last
Strays need the most pulling to gather. Once the big colors have settled, the leftovers drain fast.
- 2
Re-check what is left
Every couple of pulls, confirm each remaining color still has a clean path to its pit before you move anything else.
- 3
Reset rather than salvage
If the board turns into a tangle mid-run, restart and replay the order from the video. A fresh board is always cheaper than untangling sand.
- 4
Make the clear stick
Once the level is done, run it again without the video open. That is what turns one lucky watch into a clear you actually own.
- 5
Watch the full clear
Press play above and follow the run start to finish before touching the board. Seeing one correct order is faster than a dozen blind attempts.
- 6
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.
Pro tips for Sand Blocks Level 173
Biggest first
Fill the largest sand pit before the small ones. It takes the longest, and opening it up early makes every later pull land cleanly.
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.
