Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 308 Walkthrough
Level 308 seals its right column and its whole bottom band with two gold-framed purple shutters that carry the same badge and retract together at t=55-60s. Between them a single cyan mass is segmented into labelled counts of 3, 3, 6, 11, 6 and 6, and movable pink checkered bars count 23, 27, 22 and 14 down across the run.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 308 — Full Solution
- Read the twin 15 badges before dragging: they step 15 to 14 at t=5s, 13 at t=10s, 11 at t=15s, 9 at t=20s, 8 at t=25s, 6 at t=30s and 5 at t=35-40s, then hold at 3 from t=45s until both shutters retract at t=55-60s.
- Drain the vertical pink checkered bar at c2 r2-r3: 23 at the opening, 24 and 21 at t=7.5s, 19 at t=15s, 16 at t=22.5s, 14 at t=30s, 13 at t=37.5s and 11 at t=45-52.5s.
- Let the segmented cyan mass at c4-c5 r2-r6 drain in place: its labels go from 3, 3, 6, 11, 6, 6 to 1, 4, 9, 4 at t=7.5s and 2, 7, 2 at t=15s, and by t=22.5s an orange receiver reading 4 has taken over the middle of the chamber.
- Hold the c1 and c2 lanes for the two 23 bars - the 1x1 at c1 r4 and the vertical at c2 r2-r3 - using the cyan r5c1, green r6c1 and the green, blue and purple verticals at r7-r8 c1-c3, and keep r5c1 and r6c1 empty.
- Wait out both shutters at t=55-60s; the right shutter then exposes a pink checkered bar reading 27 at t=60s and 26 at t=70s, and the bottom shutter exposes the lower chamber.
- Work the lower chamber left to right: the cyan and magenta horizontal receivers, the red-framed purple vertical, the white L and the red pieces, with the scattered pink checkered bars falling 4, 22, 14, 24, 18 and then 19, 23, 20, 21, 13, 10, 9 and 8.
- Clear the brown bomb receivers as they appear: the 5-badge receiver at c2 r5 early, then the brown L at c1-c2 r5-r6 whose bomb badge reads 15 by t=100s, together with the dark grey and black receivers beside it.
- Finish on the bottom-left with the pink checkered bars at the foot of c2 - 5 and 3 at t=162s, 1 at t=167s - beside the orange L at c1-c2; the board empties by t=170.5s and the Level 308 reward card (14%, 40 coins) lands at t=173s.
Colors in this level:
Cyan, Purple, Pink, Brown, Green, Blue, Red, Magenta, Orange, White, Black
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Placing a pink checkered bar on r3c4 or r4c4, which splits the cyan mass and strands the 11-count segment above the bottom shutter line.
- Filling r5c1 or r6c1 so the brown bomb receiver at c2 r5 loses its contact and the badge stops at 5.
- Waiting on the pink bars when the twin 15 badges have already frozen at 3 - that stall is always the cyan segment or the c1 lane.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 308 (quick clues)
- The two 15s never diverge, so a stuck badge always means the 11-count cyan segment or the c1 lane, not the pink bars.
- Keep r3c4 and r4c4 clear while the segmented cyan mass is still draining.
- Leave r5c1 and r6c1 empty so the brown bomb receiver at c2 r5 keeps its contact.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A 7-column by 11-row grid (r1 top). A cyan tube over c1-c3 feeds the r1 c1-c3 chamber and a purple tube over c5-c7 feeds the r1 c5-c7 chamber. A gold-framed purple shutter covers c6-c7 from r2 to r8 and a second covers the full width r9-r11; both badges read 15. A segmented cyan mass spans c4-c5 r2-r6 with counts 3 (r2c4), 3 (r3c4), 6 (r4c4), 11 (r5c4), 6 (r5c5) and 6 (r6c4). Pink checkered counter bars read 23 at c2 r2-r3 and 23 at c1 r4, and a brown bomb receiver reading 5 sits at c2 r5.
- Goal
- Step both 15 badges down to 0 so the c6-c7 and r9-r11 shutters retract at t=55-60s, drain the segmented cyan mass without stranding its 11-count segment, then clear the movable pink checkered bars and the lower chamber.
- Opening
- The vertical pink checkered bar at c2 r2-r3 drains first - 23 at the opening, 24 and 21 at t=7.5s, 19 at t=15s, 16 at t=22.5s - while the cyan mass relabels itself from 3, 3, 6, 11, 6, 6 to 1, 4, 9, 4 at t=7.5s and 2, 7, 2 at t=15s. The shutters step 15 to 14 at t=5s and 13 at t=10s.
- Danger Zone
- Dropping a pink checkered bar onto r3c4 or r4c4 splits the cyan mass and strands the 11-count segment at r5c4 above the r9 shutter line, freezing both badges at 3. On the left, filling r5c1 or r6c1 blocks the brown bomb receiver at c2 r5 and the bomb badge stops at 5.
- Mechanics
- Twin gold-framed shutters carrying the same badge and retracting together, a segmented cyan sand mass whose per-segment labels fall independently, movable pink checkered counter bars, brown bomb-badged receivers (5 at c2 r5, 15 on the c1-c2 brown L by t=100s), and a top-left chamber that feeds cyan first and brown later.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do both shutters show the same number?
The c6-c7 vertical shutter and the r9-r11 horizontal shutter share one badge value. They step together 15, 14, 13, 11, 9, 8, 6, 5, 5, 3 and retract at the same moment between t=55s and t=60s.
What is behind the right shutter?
A pink checkered counter bar reading 27 when the shutter lifts at t=60s, down to 26 by t=70s. It is one of several movable checkered bars, not a fixed receiver.
Why is the middle cyan area labelled with several numbers?
It is one cyan mass split into segments that each carry their own remaining count - 3, 3, 6, 11, 6 and 6 at the opening. The labels fall independently as the sand drains, which is why the middle reads 1, 4, 9, 4 only 7.5 seconds in.
