Sand Loop Level 81 Guide: The Dolphin Seascape Puzzle

The Art: This level features a vibrant summer scene: two Yellow Dolphins jumping over a Green Island set against a Deep Blue Sea and Cyan Sky. The Type: This is a hard logic level. It’s not about speed; it’s about a strict dependency chain. You have two stacks of cups, two colored keys, and two locks. If you tap the wrong stack out of order, you will hit a dead end and fail.

The hook here is the Double-Cross Lock. The key to open the left side is buried on the right, and the key to open the right side is buried on the left. You have to ping-pong between them perfectly.

Sand Loop Level 81 Solution: Analyzing the Pixels

Before you tap a single cup, look at the color distribution. It tells you exactly what order the game expects.

Yellow (Dolphins): These are large, central blocks. They are your primary mid-game fill.
Deep Blue (Sea): This covers the bottom 60% of the background. It consumes the most sand.
Cyan (Sky): This is the top strip. Do not confuse this with the Deep Blue cups.
Green (Island): This is the smallest area, located at the very bottom left. Crucially, the Green cups are locked behind the final Gold Lock.

The "Danger Zone": The visual similarity between the Cyan (Light Blue) and Deep Blue cups. The tray has both. If you try to force the Deep Blue cups when the game wants you to clear the Cyan path, you’ll waste precious belt slots.

Tackling the Double-Cross Lock in Sand Loop 81

The specific obstacle in Sand Loop Level 81 is the Red Key vs. Gold Key placement.

Look at your tray. The Red Key is sitting in the Left Stack, underneath two Blue cups. The Red Lock is on the Right Stack, blocking everything. This forces your hand. You cannot touch the Right Stack until you have dug through the Left Stack to find that Red Key.

Conversely, the Gold Key is at the very bottom of the Right Stack. The Gold Lock is in the middle of the Left Stack. This means you must completely empty the Right Stack before you can finish the Left Stack.

It’s a rigid zig-zag pattern: Left Start -> Right Flush -> Left Finish.

Sand Loop Level 81 Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Follow this order exactly. Deviating will leave you with a locked tray and zero moves.

1. Digging for the Red Key

Focus entirely on the Left Stack.

Tap the first Deep Blue cup. Wait for it to clear the dispenser.
Tap the second Deep Blue cup.
Once those two are on the belt, the Red Key (second row, left) will become accessible. Tap it immediately.
Result: The Red Lock on the top of the Right Stack shatters. Do not touch the Left Stack anymore; it is now blocked by the Gold Lock.

2. The Right Stack Flush

Now that the Right Stack is open, you need to clear it entirely to reach the bottom.

Tap the two Yellow cups. These will paint the dolphins. Watch your belt capacity (5 slots). Don't spam them if the Blue cups are still pouring.
Tap the Cyan cup (Light Blue). This will handle the sky.
Tap the Deep Blue cup.
Finally, the Gold Key at the bottom right is exposed. Tap it.
Result: The Gold Lock on the Left Stack opens.

3. Filling the Green Island

You are now in the endgame. The Right Stack is empty. The Left Stack is unlocked.

You will see Green cups and remaining Deep Blue cups on the left.
Tap the Green cups first if possible, or just clear the stack in order.
The Green sand will fall last, settling into the island shape at the bottom of the canvas.

Pro Tip: Keep an eye on the "0/5" counter. During the "Right Stack Flush" phase, it's easy to tap all four cups (Yellow, Yellow, Cyan, Blue) rapidly. If the first two Blue cups from step 1 haven't finished pouring, you will overload the belt and fail the level. Release the Yellows only after the first Blues are half-empty.
