Sand Loop Level 199 Guide: The Lighthouse Puzzle

Sand Loop Level 199 features a crisp, nautical pixel art piece: a Red and White Lighthouse standing against a dark blue sky, with a bright yellow sun (or moon) and a cyan ocean base.

This is strictly a sequencing level. It isn't about speed; it's about peeling back layers of the cup tray in the correct order. If you grab the wrong color from the side stacks before the canvas is ready for it, you will clog your conveyor belt and force a restart. The hook here is the Central Column Dependency: the colors in the middle of the tray are stacked vertically, meaning you physically cannot access the Sun (Orange) or the lower red stripes until you clear the Water (Cyan) and Clouds (White).

Sand Loop Level 199 Solution: The Lighthouse Palette

The canvas is split into very distinct color zones. Understanding the "depth" of the image helps you predict what the game wants first.

• Color Palette Deep Dive:

  • Cyan: Used exclusively for the water at the very bottom.
  • Deep Red: The primary color of the lighthouse body and base.
  • White: Used for the alternating lighthouse stripes and the scattered clouds.
  • Dark Blue: The dominant background sky.
  • Orange/Yellow: A single large circle (the sun) on the left.

• The "Danger Zones": The Lighthouse Stripes are the killer here. The red and white bands alternate. If you pour red when the game expects white, you ruin the aesthetic or waste the sand. The other danger zone is the Sky (Dark Blue). It covers a huge area, but it's often blocked in the tray by other colors.

• Fill Order Prediction:

  1. Water (Cyan): Bottom-most element.
  2. Lighthouse Base (Red): Sits directly on the water.
  3. Sky & Stripes (Blue/White): These usually fill in tandem as the level rises.
  4. Sun (Orange): Usually fills last or near the top.

Tackling the "Central Stack" in Sand Loop Level 199

The specific obstacle in Sand Loop Level 199 is the Central Vertical Stack. Look at the middle of your tray. It is a rigid column of paired cups.

• Top: 4 Cyan Cups
• Middle: 2 White Cups
• Lower Middle: 2 Orange Cups
• Bottom: 2 Red Cups

This arrangement forces your hand. You must play the Cyan cups first. You cannot save them for later because they are physically blocking the White cups. And you cannot reach the Orange cups for the sun until the White cups are gone. This linear dependency simplifies your choices but punishes you instantly if you try to get creative. You have to obey the stack.

Sand Loop Level 199 Step-by-Step Walkthrough

This level requires patience. Do not spam tap. Watch the "0/5" counter on your belt closely.

Clearing the Water (The Cyan Opening)

Your first move is scripted by the tray layout. The bottom of the canvas is Cyan water. The top of the central stack is Cyan cups.

1. Tap the Cyan cups in the center immediately.
2. Do not touch the side columns yet. Just clear those center blues to establish the water base and expose the White cups underneath.

Establishing the Base (Side Column Management)

Once the water is set, the lighthouse needs a foundation.

1. Look at the far left and far right columns. The top cup in both stacks is Deep Red.
2. Tap these two Red cups. They will fill the broad red base of the lighthouse.
3. Warning: Immediately beneath those red cups are Dark Blue cups. Check your canvas. Is the sky ready to fill? Usually, the sky fills alongside the lighthouse. If the sky region is active, you can tap the Blue cups. If not, leave them alone or you'll clog the slot capacity.

The Stripe Rhythm (White vs. Red)

Now the tricky part begins. You need to alternate colors to build the lighthouse upwards.

1. White Stripe: The center stack now exposes White cups. Use these for the first white stripe of the lighthouse and the lower clouds.
2. Red Stripe: You need more Red, but the center stack is now showing Orange (which is for the sun, much higher up). You must go back to the Side Columns. Dig through the Dark Blue cups on the sides to reach the Red cups underneath them.
3. This is the rhythm: Clear side Blue (Sky) -> Access side Red (Stripe) -> Clear center White (Stripe/Cloud).

Unlocking the Sun

The Orange cups are buried deep in that central stack, under the White ones.

1. Do not panic if the sun area on the canvas remains empty for a long time. You physically cannot reach the Orange sand until the mid-game.
2. Once you have used the White cups for the clouds/stripes, the Orange cups become free.
3. Tap them only when the canvas progress bar reaches the upper third. If you tap them too early while the lighthouse base is still filling, they will just circle the conveyor belt, taking up valuable slots (you only have 5!). Keep that belt clean.
