How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 293 — Full Solution
- Drop white 1x2 into r1c1-c2, then orange 1x2 into r1c3-c4; wait for 17 to step.
- Place yellow at r2c2 and purple at r2c3, leaving c6/r1-r4 and the r3c4-c5 turn empty.
- Feed green horizontally into r2c4-c5, then red into r3c3; alternate those footprints while 11 falls.
- Use orange r3c1-c2 and white vertical r3-r4,c4 to reduce 20; do not bridge r3,c3-c5.
- When the basin gate opens, send long purple pieces into c1-c6/r6-r9, waiting for the level to settle after each drop.
- Clear yellow/green/red left-to-right, then drain receiver 5 down c6/r1-r4 and verify empty-board state.
Colors in this level:
White, Orange, Yellow, Purple, Green, Red
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Parking a long receiver across r3,c3-c5 hides the route into right 5.
- Opening the basin while yellow or orange still occupies r1-r3.
- Draining c6/5 before the basin stops releasing, wedging the final green piece.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 293 (quick clues)
- Alternate c1-c3 and c4-c6 placements so 17, 11 and 20 decrement together.
- Keep c6/r1-r4 empty until the basin starts releasing.
- Use the basin only after yellow and orange shelves are gone.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A 6-column by 9-row board has a full-width purple basin at c1-c6/r6-r9. Above it, white 1x2 is r1c1-c2, orange 1x2 r1c3-c4, yellow 1x1 r2c2, purple 1x1 r2c3, green 1x2 r2c4-c5, red 1x1 r3c3, and right lane c6/r1-r4 with counter 5; other counters begin 17, 11 and 20.
- Goal
- Clear the upper shelf left-to-right, keep c6/r1-r4 open, then use the basin as the 6-column catch before draining 5.
- Opening
- Place white r1c1-c2, orange r1c3-c4, yellow r2c2 and purple r2c3; expose green without touching the basin.
- Danger Zone
- A long receiver across r3,c3-c5 masks c6/r1-r4. Opening the 6x4 basin before yellow/orange clear can seal every lower exit.
- Mechanics
- Hard warning, counters 17/11/20, right lane 5, full-width basin and staggered yellow-orange-green release are visible in the MP4 frames.
