Sand Shape Level 139 Solution

Level Overview

Sand Shape Level 139 presents a grid puzzle where the objective is to partition the entire grid into distinct shapes. Each completed shape must contain exactly one green circular gem and one red heart-shaped gem. There are 4 green gems and 4 red gems on the board, meaning you will need to create 4 unique shapes that cover all cells without overlap. A timer of 02:30 is active, so planning your moves efficiently is key.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

1. 1. Begin by drawing a path to form the first shape, starting from the Green gem in the top-left corner (cell 0,0).
2. 2. Drag your finger or tap a path that includes cells (0,0), (1,0), (2,0), (3,0), (3,1), (2,1), (1,1), and (0,1). This forms a large L-shaped block (Light Orange) that successfully encloses the Green gem at (0,0) and the Red gem at (2,0). This is your first valid shape.
3. 3. Next, identify the Green gem at (1,2) and the Red gem at (0,3). Draw a path to form a 2x2 square shape (Yellow) by connecting cells (0,2), (0,3), (1,2), and (1,3). This shape will contain the Green gem at (1,2) and the Red gem at (0,3), fulfilling the one-of-each-gem requirement.
4. 4. Now, focus on the bottom-right section of the grid. Locate the Green gem at (3,2) and the Red gem at (2,3). Create a 2x2 square shape (Green) by connecting cells (2,2), (2,3), (3,2), and (3,3). This will enclose the Green gem at (3,2) and the Red gem at (2,3).
5. 5. For the final shape, all remaining empty cells in the central part of the grid must be filled. These cells are (0,1), (1,1), (2,1), and (2,2). The remaining gems are the Red gem at (0,1) and the Green gem at (1,1).
6. 6. Draw a path to encompass these four central cells, forming a 2x2 shape (Light Blue). This shape correctly encloses the Red gem at (0,1) and the Green gem at (1,1).
7. 7. Once all four shapes are correctly formed and all cells on the grid are covered, the level will be successfully completed.

Pro Tips

• Start by identifying pairs of green and red gems that are close together, as these often form the basis of simpler shapes like 2x2 blocks.
• Pay close attention to the 'Each shape has exactly one of each gem' rule. Every shape you create must satisfy this condition.
• When you make a mistake, the game will often show a red 'X' over a gem within an invalid shape. Use this feedback to quickly undo and correct your path.
• Consider the total number of gems. With 4 green and 4 red gems, you know you need to divide the grid into exactly 4 shapes.
• Prioritize forming shapes in the corners or around isolated gems first, as this often simplifies the remaining areas of the grid.
• Don't be afraid to experiment. If a path doesn't work, reset that specific shape and try a different configuration. There's a generous timer.

Common Mistakes

• Creating shapes that contain more than one of the same type of gem (e.g., two green gems in one shape). This will result in an error and the shape will not be valid.
• Forming a shape that completely misses a gem type, for example, a shape with only a green gem and no red gem, or vice-versa.
• Leaving any cells on the grid uncovered by a shape. All cells must be part of a complete and valid shape to clear the level.
• Trying to force too many gems into one shape, especially in the later stages of the puzzle, leading to violations of the 'one of each gem' rule.
