Sand Shape Level 37 Solution

Level Overview

Sand Shape Level 37 challenges players to fill a grid board with various polyomino shapes. The primary objective is that each individual shape you create must contain exactly one green circle gem, one red flame gem, and one blue diamond gem. Players must strategically connect these gem clusters using adjacent empty cells to form solid blocks, ensuring the entire grid is covered. This level features a time limit of 3 minutes to complete the puzzle.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

1. Observe the initial game board, noting the arrangement of green circle, red flame, and blue diamond gems. Understand that each completed shape must include exactly one of each of these three gem types.
2. The countdown timer at the top begins at 03:00, indicating a time limit for completing the level.
3. Identify a suitable cluster of one green circle, one red flame, and one blue diamond gem that are positioned relatively close to each other, allowing for a continuous shape to be formed using adjacent empty cells.
4. To begin the first shape, select the red flame gem located in the first row, third column of the grid (relative position on the screen).
5. Extend your selection by dragging or tapping to include the blue diamond gem in the first row, fifth column, and the green circle gem in the third row, second column.
6. Carefully fill in the surrounding empty cells to create a solid, continuous polyomino shape connecting these three selected gems. The first completed shape will cover cells including (2,3), (3,3), (4,3), (5,3), (3,1), (4,1), (5,1), (4,2), (5,2) and will turn an orange color.
7. Next, identify another distinct cluster of one green circle, one red flame, and one blue diamond gem from the remaining uncolored gems and empty cells. For example, locate the green circle at (2,2), the blue diamond at (1,4), and the red flame at (3,4).
8. Begin forming the second shape by selecting these three gems and connecting them with the adjacent empty cells.
9. Complete this second shape, ensuring it forms a continuous block and contains exactly one of each gem type. This shape will cover cells including (1,4), (2,4), (3,4), (2,5), (3,5) and will turn a blue color.
10. Continue this process across the entire board, strategically identifying and connecting sets of one green, one red, and one blue gem with polyomino shapes until all cells on the grid are filled.
11. The level will successfully complete once the entire grid is covered with valid shapes, as shown at the 00:21 mark in the video, and you will be presented with a 'Level Complete' screen.

Pro Tips

• Prioritize clearing more complex areas or sections with fewer available empty cells first, as this can make filling in the remaining areas easier.
• Always plan your shapes to connect exactly one of each gem type (green circle, red flame, blue diamond) within a continuous block, leaving no isolated gems or single empty cells that cannot be filled later.
• Keep an eye on the countdown timer. If you are struggling, consider using a hint (magnifying glass icon) to reveal a valid move.
• Scan the board for obvious clusters of the three required gem types. Starting with these can help establish a foundation for subsequent shapes.
• The hammer/wrench booster (showing '2' uses) might be useful for correcting mistakes or removing a placed shape if you find yourself stuck, though its exact function isn't shown.

Common Mistakes

• Forming shapes that do not contain exactly one of each required gem type (green circle, red flame, blue diamond). This will result in an invalid move and the shape will not be placed.
• Creating shapes that leave small, isolated groups of cells or single gems that cannot be connected to form a valid, three-gem polyomino, thus making the level impossible to complete.
• Rushing through the level without considering the larger puzzle, leading to inefficient shape placements that can block future moves or waste time.
