Sand Blocks level guide
Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 322 Walkthrough
Level 322 is the shard's widest feed board: four top pipes (blue, red, cyan, magenta) plus a green side pipe at the right and a purple side pipe at the right, all draining into one giant yellow-framed purple basin at c5-c7 r5-r7 whose badge steps 6→4→3→1 in the first half-minute. The basin finishes early and the level then runs another two minutes on the left-edge yellow L and the right-hand purple bar.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 322 — Full Solution
- Read the opening ladder at 0:04 (red cell 8 at c3-c5 r1, white 3 at c2 r2, white 7 at c6 r2, magenta 6 at c8 r1-r2, basin badge 6 at c5-c7, green receiver 6 at c8 r6, white 5 at c8 r9), then take the 0:08 step to 8→6, 3→1, 7→5, 6→4, basin 6→4, green 6→4, white 5→3.
- At about 0:12 a yellow L receiver appears at c1-c2 r4 already reading 100% and a magenta 0% cell shows at c4-c5 r3; leave the yellow L in place until the c1-c2 stack beneath it clears.
- Absorb the 0:16 step to 5 / 1 / 4 / 3 / 3 / 3 / 2, the 0:20 step to 4 / – / 3 / 2 / 2 / 2 / 1 and the 0:24 step to 3 / – / 2 / 1 / 1 / 1 / –; the white 3 at c2 r2 is gone by 0:20 and the white 7 at c6 r2 by 0:24, so those two cells are free from then on.
- At about 0:32 drag the purple 1x2 horizontal receiver out of the left stack at c2-c3 r5 and keep the c5-c7 r5 mouth free; this receiver is the one most likely to seal the cyan pipe.
- At about 0:48 the ladder reads 2 / – / 1 and by 0:56 the left column has emptied into a green bar at c1-c2 r4 and a yellow L at c3-c4 r5; work both from the left edge inward so the c4 column stays open.
- At about 1:04 drag the blue 1x2 vertical receiver in the centre and park it where the c6 cyan pipe can still reach; the cyan pipe is the last live feed once the basin badge finishes.
- At about 1:12 drag the red 1x2 vertical bar out of the c2 column and place it under the red pipe at c4 so the red sand left from the c3-c5 r1 cell has a receiver.
- At about 2:12 work the surviving right-hand column: the green receiver at c8 r1 reading 0% and the purple bar at c5-c7 r5 reading 0%. The red pipe at c4 is dropping a red pile into the top-right corner of the board, so that pile is what the last red receiver will have to catch.
- Then work the bottom band: the magenta square at c5-c6 r6, the yellow-capped cell at c4-c5 r7 and the red bar at c3-c6 r9, which is the widest remaining 0% receiver on the board.
- At about 2:20 drag the purple 1x2 horizontal receiver out of c1-c2 r3 and leave c5-c7 r5-r6 free for the purple bar that is still sitting there.
- Let the centre yellow L climb in place: 35% at 2:20, 55% at 2:24, 75% at 2:28 and 100% at about 2:33. Do not shuttle it; it only advances while the cell above it is clear.
- At about 2:28 fill the purple receiver on the right from 64% to 100%, then clear the red bar at c3-c6 r9 and the remaining bottom-row 0% cells and confirm the empty board and SAND BLOCKS card at about 2:34.5.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Dragging the green receiver at c4-c6 r3 or the purple 0% at c4-c5 r4 down onto c5-c7 r5, which seals the cyan pipe's only landing cells.
- Filling c8 r3-r5 while the magenta 6 at c8 r1-r2 is still reading, which blocks the green side pipe at r6.
- Treating the basin badge reaching 1 at 0:24 as the end of the level and ignoring the left-edge yellow L and the right-hand purple bar.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 322 (quick clues)
- The basin badge at c5-c7 reaches 1 by 0:24 and the level runs until 2:34 — plan the last two minutes around the left-edge yellow L and the right-hand purple bar, not the basin.
- Leave c5-c7 r5 free: the green receiver at c4-c6 r3 and the purple 0% at c4-c5 r4 are both one drag away from sealing the cyan pipe.
- Finish the magenta 6 at c8 r1-r2 before filling c8 r3-r5, or the green side pipe at r6 has nowhere to deliver.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Eight columns by ten rows on purple. Top pipes: blue over c2, red over c4, cyan over c6, magenta over c8; side inlets: green pipe right at r6 into the green receiver at c8 r6, purple pipe right at r9 into the white count cell at c8 r9. Row 1: red count 8 across c3-c5, magenta count 6 at c8 spanning r1-r2. Row 2: white 3 at c2, dark cyan receiver c3-c5, white 7 at c6. Row 3: magenta 0% c2, red 0% c3, green receiver c4-c6, blue 0% c8. Row 4: purple 0% c4-c5, red 0% c6-c7. Rows 4-6: large yellow-capped cell c1-c2. Rows 5-7: giant purple basin c5-c7, yellow frame with base handle, orange count badge 6. Row 7: red 0% c1, blue 0% c2, yellow 0% c3. Row 8: yellow-capped 0% c1-c3, cyan 0% c8. Row 9: blue 0% c1-c2, wide red 0% c3-c6, cyan 0% c7-c8, white count 5 at c8. Row 10: purple 0% c1-c3, cyan 0% c4-c6, green 0% c7-c8.
- Goal
- Step the red count 8 at c3-c5 r1 and the white 3 and 7 flanking it, keep the c5-c7 basin mouth clear so its badge can finish, then spend the last two minutes on the left-edge yellow L and the right-hand purple bar.
- Opening
- The opening ladder moves fast: 8 / 3 / 7 / 6 / 6 / 6 / 5 at 0:04, then 6 / 1 / 5 / 4 / 4 / 4 / 3 at 0:08, 5 / 1 / 4 / 3 / 3 / 3 / 2 at 0:16, 4 / – / 3 / 2 / 2 / 2 / 1 at 0:20 and 3 / – / 2 / 1 / 1 / 1 / – at 0:24, with the white 3 at c2 r2 the first cell to stop reading.
- Danger Zone
- The green receiver at c4-c6 r3 and the purple 0% at c4-c5 r4 sit directly over the basin mouth at c5-c7 r5. Dragging either down onto c5-c7 r5 covers the only landing cells the cyan pipe at c6 can reach. Filling c8 r3-r5 before the magenta 6 at c8 r1-r2 has finished also seals the green side pipe at r6.
- Mechanics
- Four top pipes plus two right-side inlets, one giant yellow-framed purple basin at c5-c7 r5-r7 with a base handle and an orange count badge stepping 6→4→3→1, a green side pipe feeding the c8 r6 receiver straight from the right edge, and 1x2 bar receivers shuttled between the left stack and the centre.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Level 322 keep running after the basin badge stops?
The framed basin at c5-c7 r5-r7 finishes early — its badge is at 1 by 0:24 — but the board still holds the left-edge yellow L and the right-hand purple receiver, and those two do not finish until about 2:33.
What are the two inlets on the right edge?
A green pipe at r6 that feeds the green receiver at c8 r6 directly, and a purple pipe at r9 that feeds the white count cell at c8 r9. Both share the c8 lane with the magenta 6 at c8 r1-r2, so that lane has to be finished top-down.
What is the single most damaging drag?
Moving the green receiver at c4-c6 r3 or the purple 0% at c4-c5 r4 onto c5-c7 r5. Those are the only cells the cyan pipe at c6 can drop into, and covering them stalls the basin badge permanently.
