Q: How do I make the sand change direction?

A: Place a vertical block to make horizontally flowing sand turn downwards. Place a horizontal block to make vertically flowing sand turn right or left (in this level, always right).

Q: What happens if sand leaks out?

A: Sand leakage indicates that a section of the path is not correctly enclosed by blocks or that a block was placed in the wrong empty cell, allowing sand to escape the intended channel. Review the steps and ensure each block creates a sealed turn.
