What You're Up Against
Sand Shape Level 25 features a cross-shaped grid and nine polyomino pieces: seven four-block L-shapes (red, yellow, purple, light green, light blue, dark blue, plus a second light green), one three-block green I-shape, and one three-block light green L-shape. The timer starts at 3:20. Every piece must fit perfectly—no overlaps, no gaps—to complete the level.
Beating Sand Shape Level 25
- Place the red 4-block L-shape in the far-left column, covering its middle and lower sections.
- Position the yellow 4-block L-shape in the top-left corner, connecting with the red piece.
- Drop the green 3-block I-shape vertically in the top-middle right area, letting it fall from the top edge.
- Slot the blue 4-block 2×2 square into the top-right corner, adjacent to the green I-shape.
- Fit the purple 4-block L-shape on the right side, directly under the blue square and extending toward the center.
- Place the light green 4-block L-shape below the purple piece, stretching downward on the right.
- Insert the light blue 4-block L-shape in the bottom-right corner, connecting with the light green piece.
- Set the dark blue 4-block L-shape in the remaining bottom-left open spot.
- Drop the final light green 3-block L-shape into the center’s last empty space to complete the solution.
Doing It Faster
- Prioritize corner placements first—they anchor the layout and reduce ambiguity for later pieces.
- Rotate pieces before dragging; some L-shapes only fit in specific orientations.
- Use the full 3:20 timer wisely—scan the grid and tray together to spot forced placements early.
- This walkthrough skips trial-and-error by following the exact sequence that guarantees success.
Where Players Slip Up
- Forgetting to rotate L-shaped pieces, especially the light blue and dark blue ones, leading to misaligned fits.
- Placing the 3-block light green L-shape too early—save it for the center, as it’s the final piece.
- Misaligning the green I-shape vertically instead of letting it drop cleanly from the top edge.
- Overlooking that all L-pieces except the final one are four blocks—confusing the 3-block variant causes mid-level errors. The solution hinges on strict adherence to this order; deviating—even once—breaks the fit. For more help, consult our full Sand Shape Level 25 walkthrough.
