What You're Up Against
Sand Shape Level 72 features an irregular grid with two infinity symbols that mark where identical 2×2 squares must be formed. You must draw six exact shapes—four 4-block L-shapes, one 3-block L-shape, one 2-block straight line—to fill the board completely. The “Similarity connects same shapes” objective triggers only when both 2×2 regions (each covered by a matching shape) are complete. You have just 2 minutes and 20 seconds—and every shape must be cleanly enclosed.
Beating Sand Shape Level 72
- Tap the topmost-left empty cell and drag right → down → left to form a red 4-block L-shape.
- From its top-right corner, draw an orange 3-block L-shape in the top-right area.
- Below that, draw a yellow 3-block L-shape in the top-right-middle gap.
- In the middle-right/bottom-right void, draw a green 4-block L-shape covering one infinity marker.
- Directly below the green shape, draw a light blue 2-block straight line in the bottom-right two-cell gap.
- On the middle-left side, draw a blue 4-block L-shape covering the second infinity marker—completing the first “Similarity” objective.
- Fill the final bottom-left void with a purple 4-block L-shape—the solution is complete.
Doing It Faster
- Prioritize infinity-marked zones early—they anchor both “Similarity” objectives.
- Use corner-to-corner dragging for consistent L-shape angles; avoid lifting mid-draw.
- Skip visual scanning after step 6—the last shape is always the bottom-left void.
- This walkthrough assumes no redraws; practice smooth, uninterrupted drags to stay under 2:20.
Where Players Slip Up
- Drawing shapes that overlap or leave isolated cells—especially near infinity markers—breaks the 2×2 requirement.
- Misidentifying the 3-block L-shapes as 4-block ones creates gaps that can’t be filled with remaining pieces.
- Starting from the center instead of corners leads to fragmented spaces that don’t accommodate standard L- or line-shapes.
- Ignoring timer pressure causes rushed misdraws late-game—even Sand Shape Level 72’s 2:20 window demands steady pacing.
