Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 301 Walkthrough
Level 301 is a 4x7 grid of fourteen 1x2 receivers with only two working catch slots, one under a yellow chamber and one under a red chamber whose shutter reads 4. Shuttle the matching receiver into a catch slot, clear it, and follow the right feed as it turns from red to green to cyan.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 301 — Full Solution
- Hold left r1 (yellow, +10 badge) under the left yellow chamber; it fills 0% to 100% at about t=5.5s and clears for +10.
- Shuttle the yellow(+15) receiver from left r3 up into left r1; it fills at about t=10.5s, clears for +15, and the left chamber and left tube then run dry.
- Leave left r2 green, left r4 blue and left r5 green(+10) in place as storage while the left side has no feed.
- Keep a red receiver in right r1 while the shutter steps 3 at about t=5s, 2 at about t=10s, 1 at about t=14s and disappears at about t=19s.
- Clear the red receivers in turn - right r1, right r3, right r6(+10) - waiting for each 0% to 100% vanish; right r1 reads 13% at about t=28s mid-fill.
- Use left r1 as a second staging slot between about t=21s and t=31s, where a blue receiver sits and a red receiver completes at about t=30s.
- When the right feed turns green at about t=31.5s, place a green receiver under the right chamber; it clears at 100% for +15.
- When the right feed turns cyan from about t=33s, place the cyan receiver under the right chamber; it reaches 100% at about t=36s.
- Confirm every receiver has shown 100% and vanished; the board empties at about t=38s and the SAND BLOCKS card plays at about t=40s.
Colors in this level:
Yellow, Green, Blue, Red, Cyan
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Leaving a green receiver in left r1 after t=6s, which stalls the last yellow layer the left chamber still holds.
- Dragging the yellow(+15) receiver out of left r3 before left r1's yellow(+10) has finished, so two yellow receivers compete for one layer.
- Expecting the right chamber to release red sand at full rate before the shutter reaches 0 at about t=19s.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 301 (quick clues)
- Treat left r1 and right r1 as the only working cells; every other receiver is storage.
- Do not move the yellow(+15) receiver off left r3 until the yellow(+10) at left r1 has cleared.
- Hold the right r1 red receiver until the shutter reads 0 at about t=19s before expecting free red flow.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Four columns by seven rows; each row has a left slot (c1-c2) and a right slot (c3-c4). Above r1 sit a yellow chamber (c1-c2) and a red chamber (c3-c4) carrying shutter 4, each fed by its own vertical tube. Opening fill - left: r1 yellow(+10), r2 green, r3 yellow(+15), r4 blue, r5 green(+10), r6 yellow, r7 red(+15); right: r1 red, r2 blue(+10), r3 red, r4 yellow(+15), r5 blue, r6 red(+10), r7 green.
- Goal
- Only left r1 and right r1 can collect sand. Clear the left r1 yellow(+10) first, then bring the yellow(+15) up to drain the last of the left chamber, and finish on a cyan receiver under the right chamber.
- Opening
- Leave left r1 yellow(+10) in place until it fills at about t=5.5s, then shuttle yellow(+15) from left r3 into left r1 for the remaining yellow layer. Keep a red receiver under the right chamber while shutter 4 steps down.
- Danger Zone
- Parking a green or blue receiver in left r1 between t=6s and t=9.5s collects nothing while the left chamber still has a yellow layer to give, and leaving a blue receiver in right r1 while the red chamber is still feeding wastes that layer and overruns the countdown.
- Mechanics
- Gravity feed from two chambers into two shared catch slots, 100% clear-and-vanish, shutter counter 4 on the right chamber stepping 4-3-2-1-0, numbered bonus badges on seven receivers awarding +10 or +15 seconds, and a right-hand feed that changes red to green to cyan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does a receiver sit in the catch slot without filling?
It does not match the colour the chamber above is currently delivering; the left chamber only gives yellow and runs dry after about t=10.5s.
What do the numbers on some receivers mean?
They are bonus badges. Clearing a badge-10 receiver adds +10 seconds and a badge-15 receiver adds +15 seconds to the countdown, shown as a green popup beside the timer.
How does the board end if only two cells can collect sand?
Receivers are shuttled into the two catch slots one at a time; each clears and frees the slot for the next colour the feed delivers.
