Sand Blocks level guide
Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 303 Walkthrough
Level 303 stacks five independent counters - 7 and 14 on the top chambers, 8 on each side panel and 19 on the bottom panel - around a three-column lattice with a blue centre channel. Four top feeds plus a purple side pipe deliver green, blue, yellow and red, and the board rebuilds into a red wave at the end.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 303 — Full Solution
- Let the green chamber over c1 fill lattice r1 c1 while the leftmost green tube is still delivering; keep the c1 column receivers in place.
- Leave the 7 and 14 counters alone - they step down independently as the blue and yellow tubes deliver.
- Keep the blue centre channel between c2 and c3 empty of receivers at every point in the run.
- Work the c1 column top to bottom - r1 green, r2 yellow, r3 green - before moving the left counter-8 panel.
- When the left counter-8 panel steps down, continue down c1 through r4 purple, r5 green with the 5 badge and r6 purple.
- Move to c3 only after the right counter-8 panel has stepped down, because c3 r4 to r6 sit directly over it.
- Clear the c2 column last of the three, since it shares the blue channel with c3 and cannot drain while the channel is blocked.
- Reduce the counter-19 panel at the bottom once the lattice rows above it are clear, then let the bottom cells fill.
- Follow the mid-level rebuild: the side panels clear and red receivers appear across the right side with an orange sand mass above them, plus a late key-marked receiver; match them in arrival order.
- Confirm every receiver has shown 100% and vanished; the board empties and the SAND BLOCKS card plays at about t=74s.
Colors in this level:
Green, Blue, Yellow, Red, Purple, Orange
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Dropping the c2 purple 5-badge receiver into the channel row, which plugs the blue channel and freezes the counter-19 panel.
- Filling c3 r4 to r6 before the right counter-8 panel steps down, which strands that sand above a closed panel.
- Trying to force the 7 and 14 counters to match before clearing c1, which wastes the green tube's delivery window.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 303 (quick clues)
- Check the channel row between c2 and c3 before every drag; a plugged channel deadlocks the board.
- Clear c1 top to bottom before moving the left counter-8 panel.
- Do not touch c3 r4 to r6 until the right counter-8 panel has stepped down.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A central lattice of single-cell receivers three columns wide (c1-c3) and six rows deep (r1-r6), with a blue vertical channel running between c2 and c3 from about r4 down. Tall purple panels carrying counter 8 flank the lattice left and right, and a wide panel carrying counter 19 sits below it. Four top tubes run green, blue, yellow, red, plus a purple pipe curving in from the upper left. Top chambers: green over c1, counter 7 over c2, counter 14 over c3. Opening lattice: r1 green/yellow/green, r2 yellow/purple+5/yellow, r3 green/yellow/green, r4 purple/channel/purple, r5 green+5/channel/green+5, r6 purple/channel/purple.
- Goal
- Open the lattice by stepping the two counter-8 side panels and the counter-19 bottom panel down, collecting the green layer the green chamber delivers into c1 first, and finish on the late red receivers that appear on the right after the board rebuilds.
- Opening
- Let the green chamber empty into lattice r1 c1 while the green tube is still delivering, and hold the c1 column receivers. The 7 and 14 counters step down on their own schedule; the counter-19 panel stays shut until the rows above it are read.
- Danger Zone
- Dropping the c2 purple receiver with the 5 badge into the channel row plugs the blue centre channel between c2 and c3, stranding the c3 column and freezing the counter-19 panel. Filling c3 at r4 to r6 before the right counter-8 panel steps down leaves that sand with nowhere to fall.
- Mechanics
- Five independent counters (7, 14, 8, 8, 19) that step down on separate schedules, a purple side pipe that bypasses the four vertical tubes and lands on the lattice directly, a blue centre channel as the only drain for c2 and c3, a mid-level board rebuild into a red wave with an orange sand mass, and a late key-marked receiver.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do the counters not move together?
The 7 and 14 chambers, the two 8 panels and the 19 panel step down on independent schedules tied to the sand each one passes, so they will not match at any point.
What is the blue strip down the middle of the lattice?
It is a channel between c2 and c3, roughly from r4 to the bottom. It is the only downward route for those columns, so no receiver may occupy the channel row.
What changes partway through the level?
The board rebuilds: the counter-8 side panels clear and the late run is dominated by red receivers on the right with an orange sand mass above them.
