Sand Blocks level guide
Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 324 Walkthrough
Level 324 is the shard's longest run at 3:21 and it splits into two halves: a giant yellow-framed purple basin at c1-c3 spanning all nine rows whose badge is finished by 0:30, and a right chamber at c4-c8 holding a 4-count cyan bar, two pink 5-count cells in lockstep, a 7-count purple cell and a spread of gold-medal 10 tool cells. The basin is the decoy; the cyan bar at c4 r7-r8 is the real clock and the wall.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 324 — Full Solution
- Read the opening at 0:10: basin badge 3 at c1-c3, cyan receiver 4 at c4 r7-r8, pink cells 5 and 5 at c7 r3 and c8 r3, purple cell 7 at c6 r9.
- Let the framed basin at c1-c3 step 3→1 by about 0:30 with no drag; the blue tube at c1-c3 does the work and the basin clears at its last step.
- Consume the red sand mass at c5-c6 r1-r2 under the red tube so the brown 0% at c5-c6 r3 beneath it can start reading.
- Step the cyan receiver at c4 r7-r8 from 4 to 2 by about 0:30 while keeping c4 r5-r6 empty, because this column is the only wall between the basin and the right chamber.
- Step the two pink 5-count cells at c7 r3 and c8 r3 together and leave c7-c8 r1-r2 untouched until both finish.
- At about 0:50 drag the red receiver in the centre-right and park it where the red tube at c4 can still drop into it; it is the red sand from the c5-c6 r1 mass.
- Work the c5-c6 column downward: clear the red 0% at c5-c6 r4 first, then the yellow-capped gold-medal 10 cell at c5-c6 r5, letting each clear before the cell below it can read.
- Continue the same column with the magenta gold-medal 10 cell at c5-c6 r6 and the magenta 0% at c5 r7; these are the two receivers that sit directly above the white L that shows up later.
- Alternate with the c7-c8 column: green 0% at c7-c8 r5-r6 and yellow 0% at c8 r7. The two columns are independent, so do not empty c5-c6 before starting this one.
- Finish the c7-c8 column with the red 0% at c7 r8 and the brown 0% at c7-c8 r9, keeping the purple-striped count cell reading 7 at c6 r9 clear so it can step.
- At about 2:36 the yellow-capped receiver on the left edge fills to 100% and clears and a white receiver appears at c5-c6 r7-r8; wait for both before touching the centre again.
- At about 2:42 drag the purple 1x2 vertical receiver in the centre of the right chamber — it is the purple cell from c6 r9 moving up — and keep the cells above its destination free.
- At about 3:06 the board is down to a white sand pile at c1-c2, a purple mound at c6-c7, a white L receiver at c6-c7 r7-r8 and a column of purple-striped 5-count cells across the bottom at c2, c4, c6 and c7.
- At about 3:12 clear the red 5-count cell at c4 r5 and at about 3:18 clear the purple bar in the right chamber at 100%; that purple bar is the last counted receiver in the middle.
- Finish the bottom-row purple 5-count cells and the white L at c6-c7 r7-r8, then confirm the empty board, the SAND BLOCKS card at about 3:18.5 and the 46% new-feature reward panel at about 3:20.8.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Dragging a long bar into c4 r5-r6, which blocks the cyan receiver at c4 r7-r8 and freezes the c4 column.
- Filling c7-c8 r1-r2 while the two pink 5-count cells at c7 r3 and c8 r3 are still reading.
- Reading the framed basin at c1-c3 as the level's main objective: its badge finishes at about 0:30 and the board still runs for three more minutes.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 324 (quick clues)
- The framed basin at c1-c3 reads 3 and then disappears at about 0:30 while three minutes remain — watch the cyan receiver at c4 r7-r8 instead, it is the real clock.
- Keep c4 r5-r6 empty; the yellow-capped 10 cell at c5-c6 r5 reaches to c5 and is one drag away from freezing the cyan column.
- The two pink 5s at c7 r3 and c8 r3 step together — neither can move once c7-c8 r1-r2 is filled above them.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Eight columns by nine rows on maroon. Blue tube over c1-c3, red tube over c4-c8. Left half: giant purple basin c1-c3 spanning r1-r9, yellow frame with base handle, orange count badge 4 at 0:00 and 3 by 0:05. c4 r7-r8: tall cyan receiver with an orange badge reading 5. Right chamber: red sand mass c5-c6 r1-r2; blue 0% c8 r1-r2; brown 0% c5-c6 r3; pink 5-count c7 r3; pink 5-count c8 r3; red 0% c5-c6 r4; red 0% c7-c8 r4; yellow-capped gold-medal 10 at c5-c6 r5; green 0% c7-c8 r5-r6; magenta gold-medal 10 at c5-c6 r6; blue 0% c6-c7 r6-r7; magenta 0% c5 r7 and r8; yellow 0% c8 r7; red 0% c7 r8; brown 0% c7-c8 r9; purple-striped count 7 at c6 r9.
- Goal
- Let the framed basin at c1-c3 finish early, then spend the rest of the run in the right chamber: step the cyan receiver at c4 r7-r8, the two pink 5s at c7 r3 and c8 r3 and the purple 7 at c6 r9, working c5-c6 and c7-c8 top-down, and finish on the centre yellow L and the right-hand purple bar.
- Opening
- At 0:10 the basin badge reads 3, the cyan receiver at c4 r7-r8 reads 4, the pink cells at c7 r3 and c8 r3 read 5 and 5, and the purple cell at c6 r9 reads 7. By about 0:30 the basin badge is at 1, the cyan is at 2, one pink is at 3 and the purple is at 5.
- Danger Zone
- The cyan receiver at c4 r7-r8 is both a receiver and the wall between the basin and the right chamber. Dragging a long bar into c4 r5-r6 — the yellow-capped 10 cell at c5-c6 r5 looks like an ordinary filler but its left edge reaches c5, one cell away — blocks the cyan fill and freezes the c4 column. Filling c7-c8 r1-r2 before the two pink 5s at r3 finish leaves both 5s with nowhere to step.
- Mechanics
- A nine-row framed purple basin at c1-c3 that clears in the first half-minute and then becomes terrain, a single tall cyan receiver at c4 r7-r8 doubling as the divider between halves, two pink 5-count cells stepping in lockstep at c7 r3 and c8 r3, a purple 7-count cell at c6 r9, and a spread of gold-medal 10 tool cells across the right chamber.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the framed purple basin at c1-c3 actually for?
It is a counted receiver whose orange badge runs 4→3→1 in the first half-minute. Once it clears, the left half becomes a stack of sand masses and every remaining move is in the c4-c8 chamber.
Why is the cyan receiver at c4 r7-r8 special?
It is the only receiver in the c4 column and it sits between the basin and the right chamber, so it works as both a 5→4→2 count and the wall the right chamber drains past. Blocking its fill stops the whole column.
Why do the two pink cells at c7 r3 and c8 r3 have to be finished together?
They step in lockstep and they share the c7-c8 lane with the blue 0% receiver at r1-r2 above them. Filling that lane first leaves both 5s with no cell to step into.
