Sand Loop Level 273 Guide: The Orange Bear Puzzle

This level features a pixel art piece that looks like a chunky Orange Bear (or maybe a hamster) sitting in a grassy field. It’s a logic-heavy level disguised as a simple fill job. You aren't racing a timer here so much as you are battling the tray layout. The supply tray is nasty, featuring horizontal ropes that link cups together and a central column of mystery blocks that can ruin your flow if you aren't careful.

Sand Loop Level 273 Solution: The Bear & The Grass

The target image is straightforward, but the volume of sand required for specific areas is deceptive.

Color Palette: Dominant Green (Background), Orange (Bear Body), Red (Snout, Ears, Feet), White & Yellow (Corner Flowers).
The Danger Zone (Red): The Red cups are critical for the bear's face and paws, but looking at the tray, they are buried in the center and tied up in ropes. You cannot access the red needed for the snout until you clear the top layers.
Fill Order Prediction: You will naturally fill the Green background and Orange body first because those cups are sitting right on top. Do not fight this. Let the background fill while you dig for the Red and White cups needed for the details.

Tackling the Roped Pairs in Sand Loop Level 273

The specific obstacle here is the Horizontal Rope Bond. In the second and fourth rows, you see cups tied together (Yellow tied to Red, White tied to Red).

Here is the mechanic: Roped cups take up two slots. Because your conveyor belt capacity is capped at 5 slots, these ropes are dangerous. If you have 4 cups already on the belt and you tap a roped pair, you will exceed capacity (trying to go to 6/5), and the game won't let you make the move. Or worse, if you are at 3/5 and tap a rope, you hit 5/5 instantly, leaving zero wiggle room for emergency clears.

You must clear the belt down to 0/5 or 1/5 before tapping any roped pair. Treat them as "heavy" items.

Sand Loop Level 273 Step-by-Step Walkthrough

1. Clearing the Free Top Layer

Your first moves are dictated by the only free cups: the Green and Orange on the top row, and the central Grey Mystery Cup.

Tap the Green cups on the far edges first. This starts the background fill.
Tap the Orange cups next.
Tap the central Mystery Cup.
Why this order? You want to clear the top row completely to expose the first set of Roped Cups. Don't leave stragglers.

2. Breaking the Yellow/Red Ropes

Once the top row is gone, you face the second row: a Yellow/Red pair on the left, a central Red, and a Red/Yellow pair on the right.

Check your capacity. Ensure you have at least 2 empty slots.
Tap the Yellow/Red roped pair. The sand will dispense. The Yellow goes to the flower centers (if accessible) or queues up, and the Red goes to the bear's ears.
Crucial Tip: Do not tap the central solitary Red cup while the roped cups are processing. Let the roped cups finish pouring and clear off the belt before you add more variables. The belt speed is slow; be patient.

3. The Central Mystery Stack

The middle column is a stack of Red and Mystery (?) cups.

This column is your lifeline for the bear's snout and feet. The side columns are mostly for the flowers (White/Yellow).
Prioritize clearing the central column whenever you have a single slot free. You need to churn through those Mystery cups to see if they give you the Orange needed to finish the body or the Red for the paws.
If a Mystery cup reveals a color you don't need yet (like White for the bottom flowers), let it ride the belt. Don't panic. The loop will bring it back.

4. Digging for Flowers (The Bottom Layer)

The White cups required for the corner flowers are buried deep in row 4, also tied by ropes.

By the time you reach row 4, the main Bear body should be mostly done.
You will likely have "leftover" Green or Orange cups circulating. If the belt is getting clogged with 4/5 or 5/5 capacity, stop tapping.
Wait for the colors to find their spots on the canvas. Only when the count drops to 2/5 should you tap the final White/Red roped pairs. This ensures the White sand can reach the corners without being blocked by a traffic jam of useless cups.
