Draw a short horizontal line below the main sand source, then an angled line to guide the sand into the leftmost container.
The leftmost container fills, and the first red gate (left) opens.
Extend the line from the first gate's opening or draw a new line to guide sand into the middle container.
The middle container fills, and the second red gate (middle) opens.

The rightmost container fills, and the third red gate (right) opens.
Draw a final line from the opening of the third red gate directly into the truck's bed.
The truck fills completely, and the 'Level Cleared!' screen appears.
Not enough sand to fill a container, especially the third one.

Evidence Time: N/A
Sand flows past a container instead of into it.
Fix: Draw lines that create a 'pocket' or 'funnel' directly into the container's opening to maximize sand collection.
Evidence Time: N/A
Q: How do I open the red gates?
A: You need to guide sand into the designated containers located directly above each red gate. Once a container is filled, its corresponding gate will open.
Q: When should I use the additional sand drop?
A: The additional sand drop (the button with a sand icon) is generally needed when the primary sand source isn't sufficient to fill a container. In this level, it's crucial for filling the third container to open the third gate.
