Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 243 Walkthrough
Level 243 hides a stepped board behind purple shutters 6/17/10 and surrounds it with side counters 7/20/3/13. Solve the compact top pocket to reveal each chamber, preserve new rotation space, then route the late cyan plus, H, and L receivers in perimeter-first order.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 243 — Full Solution
- Clear the small green top receiver, then route the adjacent white L and blue/yellow bars through the exposed upper-right pocket.
- Match the red and green upper pieces as the white-7 and blue-3 perimeter gates descend, reopening the compact center after every clear.
- Reduce the upper shutter from 6 and use its revealed space to rotate the first red L, green L, and cyan L receivers.
- Alternate the yellow-20 and red-13 side feeds while the lower shutters descend from 17 and 10, clearing the right shutter before parking large pieces there.
- With only the lower-left shutter remaining, route the red H and cyan H through the open right half, then clear the surrounding yellow and green bars.
- In the late cyan phase, place perimeter L shapes before the cyan plus and reduce the exposed cyan cells from 3/2 toward zero.
- Finish the white, red, yellow, and cyan receivers, clear the final cyan horizontal, and verify the empty-board SAND BLOCKS animation and reward card.
Colors in this level:
Green, Red, White, Yellow, Blue, Cyan, Purple
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Leaving a red or white L across the upper pocket while the first shutter still blocks rotation space.
- Filling a newly opened shutter area before the next numbered shutter has retracted.
- Putting the cyan plus in the center before the late cyan H and L receivers reach their perimeter lanes.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 243 (quick clues)
- Use each newly retracted shutter area as temporary rotation space rather than permanent parking.
- Keep the compact top center open after every early red, white, or green clear.
- Place the late cyan perimeter L/H shapes before committing the cyan plus to the center.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Three large yellow-outlined purple shutters begin at counters 6, 17, and 10. Perimeter gates show white 7 at upper left, yellow 20 at lower left, blue 3 at upper right, and red 13 at lower right. A green top feed serves a small exposed pocket of red, green, yellow, blue, and white receivers.
- Goal
- Reduce the side gates and retract all three shutters in stages, use each revealed chamber as rotation space, then clear the late cyan plus/H/L receiver field and its small counter cells.
- Opening
- Clear the green receiver below the top feed, route the neighboring white L and blue/yellow bars through the upper-right pocket, and match red while the first counters descend.
- Danger Zone
- A red or white L across the compact top center blocks the changing top stream; in the late phase, centering the cyan plus before the lower shutter opens traps the cyan H and lower-right L.
- Mechanics
- Shutter counters 6/17/10, side counters 7/20/3/13, a changing green-top feed, staged board expansion, 100% clears, and late cyan geometric receivers define the puzzle.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the numbers 6, 17, and 10 represent in Level 243?
They are visible counters on the three purple shutters; each shutter retracts as its counter is reduced through the staged solve.
How should the late cyan shapes be ordered?
Route the cyan perimeter L and H footprints first, then use the central space for the plus and finish the remaining numbered cyan cells.
