Sand Loop Level 9 Guide: The Beach Umbrella Puzzle

This isn't just a pretty picture; it's a structural nightmare. You are looking at the "Beach Umbrella" level. It’s deceptively calm. You see a summer vibe—sand, sea, sun, and a big red-and-white umbrella—but the physics of this level are brutal.

This is a Logic Level. Speed won't help you here. If you tap too fast, you will bury the necessary colors under layers of useless sand. The hook here is the vertical dependency. The colors you desperately need for the middle of the painting (the dark blue ocean horizon) are buried at the very bottom of the supply tray.

Sand Loop Level 9 Solution: Analyzing the Layers

Take a good look at the target image in the top frame. You aren't just dumping sand; you are building a cake.

The Palette: You are juggling Orange (Sand/Sun), Red & White (Umbrella), Cyan (Water), and Dark Blue (Horizon/Deep Sea).
The Danger Zones: The Dark Blue Horizon Line. Look at your tray. The Dark Blue cups are at the absolute bottom of columns 1, 2, and 3. This is the trap. If you fill the canvas with umbrella parts (Red/White) before you dig out those blue cups, you will ruin the horizon line.
Fill Order Prediction: The physics of Sand Loop Level 9 dictate that the bottom fills first. The bottom of the image is pure Orange sand. The middle is a mix of Umbrella (left) and Water (right). The top is Sky and Sun.

Tackling the "Orange Bucket Blockade" in Sand Loop Level 9

The most obvious obstacle in Sand Loop Level 9 is the top row of the tray. You have three massive Orange Buckets sitting on top of columns 1, 3, and 5.

These aren't just standard cups; they are heavy volume buckets. They serve two purposes. First, they provide the base layer of "Beach Sand" for the bottom of the image. Second, and more annoying, they block access to the White and Cyan cups underneath. You cannot start the water or the umbrella until these big blockers are gone.

The mistake most players make is trying to save them. Don't. They are the foundation.

Sand Loop Level 9 Step-by-Step Walkthrough

The strategy here is a "Vertical Dig." You need to tunnel down specific columns to reach the Dark Blue cups before the level ends.

1. Laying the Sandy Foundation

Your first move is rigid. You have no choice. Tap the three large Orange Buckets on the top row.

This clears the blockers.
It dumps a heavy load of orange sand, creating the beach at the bottom of the canvas.
Do not touch the Red/White cups in the second row yet. Let the orange sand settle.

2. The Umbrella Stripe Rhythm

Now that the buckets are gone, you have access to the second row: White, Red, White, Red, White.

The Umbrella on the left needs distinct stripes.
Do not spam taps. If you tap two Reds back-to-back, you get a red blob, not stripes.
Alternate your taps: Red -> White -> Red.
While doing this, keep an eye on column 2 and 4. You need to clear these quickly to expose the Cyan cups below. The water needs to start filling the right side of the canvas soon.

3. The "Deep Blue" Dig

This is where you lose or win Sand Loop Level 9.

Look at the bottom of Columns 1, 2, and 3. There sit the Dark Blue cups.
The middle of the picture requires that dark blue line to separate the sky from the water.
You must prioritize clearing the cups above these blue ones. Even if you don't perfectly need a Cyan or Orange right now, you might have to burn one just to unearth the Dark Blue.
Critical Move: Once a Dark Blue cup is exposed, send it immediately. Do not wait. It needs to land before you start building the Sun (top right).

4. Capping with the Sun

Once the horizon is set and the umbrella is mostly built, you will be left with the remaining Red and Orange cups from the bottom right of the tray.

Use these to build the Sun in the top right corner.
The Sun is a yellow circle with red trim. Save a Red cup for the very end to finish the details.
If you have any leftover Cyan cups, dump them now to fill in the sky gaps.

Keep your slot capacity (0/5) in mind. Never fill it completely. Always leave one slot open so you can panic-tap a needed color if the conveyor belt moves too fast. Good luck.
