Sand Loop Level 73 Guide: The Great Pyramids Puzzle

This is a classic scenic level, featuring a pixel art rendition of the Egyptian Pyramids. It’s less of a speed run and more of a logic puzzle because of the restricted tray layout. You are dealing with a distinct foreground (sand/pyramids) and background (sky), and getting the order wrong will jam your conveyor belt instantly.

The color palette here is strict:

Primary: Yellow (Sand and sun-lit pyramid faces).
Secondary: Deep Red/Brown (The shadowed side of the pyramids).
Background: Blue (Sky) and White (Clouds).

Sand Loop Level 73 Solution: Analyzing the Tray

Look at the tray setup. It is dense. Color Palette Deep Dive: You have a massive need for Yellow right away to build the desert floor. The Blue and White cups are strictly for the late game (the sky). If you flood your belt with Blue cups early, you will lose because the sand hasn't built up high enough to catch the sky pixels.

The "Danger Zones":

The Mystery Cups: See those grey buckets with the "?" on the left and right columns? These are dangerous. In Sand Loop 73, these mystery cups hide the Deep Red/Brown sand needed for the pyramid shadows. You cannot finish the structures without them, but if you open too many at once, you’ll clog your slots with colors you can't pour yet.
The Central Ice Blockade: The two cyan blocks labeled "8" in the dead center are your main headache. They split the tray in half, preventing you from accessing the bottom reserves until you clear the "8" count (usually by clearing adjacent cups or simply churning through the queue).

Fill Order Prediction: This is a bottom-up build. You must pour Yellow first, then intersperse Red/Brown for the pyramid details. Blue and White must be ignored until the pyramids are visually distinct.

Tackling the "Mystery Cup Gamble" in Sand Loop 73

The specific obstacle here isn't just the ice blocks; it's the Mystery Cups. Normally, you want to clear blockers fast. But here, the Mystery Cups contain the shadow color (Red). The art requires the red shadow to be poured alongside the yellow faces.

If you avoid the Mystery Cups, you will build a solid yellow blob and fail the level because the red shadow won't be underneath the upper layers of sand. You need to "gamble" on these cups early to get the Red sand flowing before the Yellow piles get too high.

Sand Loop Level 73 Step-by-Step Walkthrough

You have 5 slots on your belt. Efficiency is key.

1. The Yellow Opener

Ignore the Blue cups on the far edges. Your first moves must be the Yellow and Orange cups visible in the center and immediate sides. You need to establish the "base" of the painting.

Tap the exposed Yellow cups.
Tap the Orange cups with the "Loop" arrows (these often regenerate or trigger the next sequence).
Keep your belt at 3/5 capacity maximum. Do not fill it up yet.

2. Cracking the Mystery (The Red Shift)

Once the bottom layer of yellow sand is settling, start tapping the Grey "?" Cups on the sides.

Do this one by one. Tap one, see if it's Red. If it is, let it pour immediately.
You need to mix Red into the stream now. The pyramids have diagonal lines of shadow. If you wait until all the Yellow is gone to pour Red, the Red will sit on top of the pyramid instead of forming the side of it.
Ideally, your belt should look like: Yellow - Yellow - Red - Yellow.

3. Breaking the "8" Ice Blocks

As you clear the Yellow and Mystery cups from the side columns, the central Ice Blocks (labeled 8) will eventually break or unlock as the cups above them are removed.

Once these shatter, they reveal the bottom-most reserves.
Warning: Breaking these blocks often floods the tray with new cups. Ensure you have 2 empty slots on your belt before you trigger the final clear of the central column, or you might get a "Jam" game over.

4. The Sky Finish

By now, the pyramids should be formed. You will be left with a tray dominated by Blue and White cups.

Now is the time to rapid-fire the Blue cups.
The sky fills linearly. The "Cloud" pixels (White) are scattered, so just alternate Blue and White freely. The sand physics usually sort the sky out easily compared to the precise geometry of the pyramids.
If you have any leftover Yellows, dump them before you start the heavy Blue pours to ensure the peaks of the pyramids are sharp.
