How to clear Sand Blocks Level 49

Level 49 is a Beginner-tier board in Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle. The video above shows one clean clear of it; the written guide below sticks to the pull-order principles that decide boards at this stage of the game — no invented move lists.

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    Save scattered grains for last

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

  6. 6

    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.

Pro tips for Sand Blocks Level 49

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.

Reset when stuck

A few pulls into a messy board, restarting is faster than salvaging — the clock makes patience cheap.
