How to Solve Sand Shape Level 11 — Full Solution
- Fill the red upper-left S: `r1c2`, `r1c3`, `r2c1`, and `r2c2`.
- Fill the orange upper-right L: `r1c4`, `r2c3`, and `r2c4`.
- Fill the blue lower-left L: `r3c1`, `r3c2`, and `r4c1`.
- Finish with the turquoise lower-right S: `r3c3`, `r3c4`, `r4c2`, and `r4c3`, then wait for completion.
Colors in this level:
Red, Orange, Blue, Turquoise
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Joining `r2c2` to `r2c3` and creating a four-cell bar; those cells belong to different required shapes.
- Using four cells for the lower-left L; its region stops at three cells.
Quick Tips for Sand Shape Level 11 (spoiler-free)
- Use the top notches to identify the two upper regions before touching the lower half.
- The lower-left and lower-right groups use different shapes; do not mirror the upper S into the bottom row.
- Think in chain clears. The best move is the one that sets up the next two moves, not just the quickest current match.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- The playable cells fit a 4x4 box: the top row starts at column 2, the bottom row ends at column 3, and rows 2-3 span all four columns.
- Goal
- Use the two required shapes: red S `r1c2`, `r1c3`, `r2c1`, `r2c2`; orange L `r1c4`, `r2c3`, `r2c4`; blue L `r3c1`, `r3c2`, `r4c1`; and turquoise S `r3c3`, `r3c4`, `r4c2`, `r4c3`.
- Opening
- Start with the upper-left S tetromino, then fill the upper-right L before working below the horizontal wall seam.
- Danger Zone
- The center cells `r2c2`, `r2c3`, `r3c2`, and `r3c3` look like one block, but the S and L boundaries must stay aligned with the Required Shapes card.
- Mechanics
- The card shows a four-cell S tetromino and a three-cell L triomino. The source confirms four accepted regions and a completion transition; it does not prove a life penalty.
