Sand Blocks level guide
Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 305 Walkthrough
Level 305 opens with a stepped cyan cap of five counter-3 blocks that open from the right, a cyan chamber under a top tube, and a magenta pipe entering from the outside left edge. Below sits a grid of mixed receivers whose orange and purple pieces are L-shaped and whose pale piece is Z-shaped.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 305 — Full Solution
- Let the cyan chamber fill the rightmost counter-3 block, which sits directly under the tube.
- Work leftward down the cap one block at a time; each counter-3 block only opens after the one above and to its right has stepped down.
- Keep the r1 pale receiver and the r1 orange L receiver in place while the cap is stepping down.
- As r2 and r3 open, fill the blue and purple receivers on r2 and the green receiver on r3 from the cyan delivery.
- Leave the blue and green vertical receivers at r4 in place to catch what falls through from r3.
- After the last counter-3 block steps down, use the magenta pipe to fill the magenta 5-badge receivers on r3, r5 and r6 plus the brown-magenta 5-badge receiver on r1.
- Fill the red receiver with the 5 badge on r5 and the dark receiver on r4.
- Finish the irregular pieces last - the r1 orange L, the r6 purple receiver and the late L-shaped receiver on the right side.
- Confirm every receiver has shown 100% and disappeared and the board animates empty.
Colors in this level:
Cyan, Orange, Red, Green, Blue, Purple, Magenta, White, Black
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Dropping the r1 pale receiver into the staircase path, which blocks the last counter-3 block and locks the magenta pipe out.
- Dragging a two-cell vertical receiver out of r4, which opens the row and drops the r3 sand past its receivers.
- Trying to fill the magenta 5-badge receivers before the cap has cleared, since the magenta pipe cannot reach the grid yet.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 305 (quick clues)
- The cap opens from the right; never put a receiver under the left end of the staircase first.
- The magenta pipe is a second feed and stays out of the grid until the last counter-3 block steps down.
- Leave the two-cell blue and green vertical receivers in r4 so they catch the r3 sand.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A stepped cyan cap across the upper left made of five cyan blocks each carrying counter 3, descending leftward. To its right a cyan tube drops into a cyan chamber holding a full cyan load. A magenta pipe enters from the outside left edge at mid-height and stops short of the grid. Below, a grid roughly four columns by six rows (r1 top): r1 orange L plus pale receiver plus a brown-magenta 5-badge receiver; r2 blue and purple; r3 orange, green and a magenta 5-badge; r4 blue vertical, green vertical, dark receiver and green receiver; r5 red 5-badge and magenta 5-badge; r6 magenta 5-badge and purple.
- Goal
- Step the five counter-3 cyan blocks down from the right so the cap clears, collect the cyan load into the grid below, then open the magenta pipe and finish the irregular L and Z receivers.
- Opening
- Let the cyan chamber fill the rightmost counter-3 block under the tube, then work leftward down the staircase. Do not touch the magenta 5-badge receivers on r3, r5 and r6 until the cap has cleared, because the magenta pipe does not reach the grid before then.
- Danger Zone
- The r1 pale receiver sits directly under the left end of the cyan cap; dropping it into the staircase path blocks the last counter-3 block from stepping down and keeps the magenta pipe out of the grid for the rest of the run. Dragging either of the two-cell vertical receivers out of r4 opens that row and lets the r3 sand fall past the receivers that needed it.
- Mechanics
- Five independent counter-3 blocks arranged as a staircase, so the cap opens right to left one step at a time. A second feed enters from the outside left edge as a magenta pipe rather than from the top, and cannot reach the grid until the cap has cleared. The receiver grid uses irregular footprints - the r1 orange receiver and the late purple receiver are L-shaped and the pale receiver is Z-shaped, occupying cells in two rows.
Frequently Asked Questions
In what order do the five counter-3 blocks open?
Right to left. The cyan tube lands on the rightmost block, and each block only becomes reachable after the one above and to its right has stepped down.
Where does the magenta sand come from?
A magenta pipe entering the playfield from the outside left edge at mid-height. It is a second feed and does not reach the receiver grid until the cyan cap has cleared.
Why do some receivers look like L or Z shapes?
The grid is built from irregular footprints. The r1 orange receiver and the late purple receiver are L-shaped and the pale receiver is Z-shaped, so they occupy cells in two different rows.
