Sand Blocks level guide
Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 326 Walkthrough
Level 326 stacks a 10-count top shutter over a seven-column upper chamber and a shutter band reading 6 and 25, then drops into a lower chamber whose four gold-ringed 5 badges only open once the c4 slot in the band stays empty.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 326 — Full Solution
- Let the board run. The left yellow inlet at r1-r2 is already spilling at t=0 and feeds the yellow L at r1c5 plus r2c4-r2c5 and the two-cell yellow receiver at r3-r4 c2-c3; no drag is needed.
- At t≈5 shutter 10 steps 10→9 and the right-wall box steps 3→2 as the first wave lands. Wait for the yellow L to reach 100% and vanish before touching the c5 column behind it.
- Clear the c2-c3 yellow pair on r3 and r4; their disappearance opens the c1-c3 half of the upper chamber for the pink vertical at r1-r2 c3.
- Take the pink vertical at r1-r2 c3, then the green c5 and pink c6 receivers on r3-r4; that pair is the last of the r3-r4 band and it is what exposes the r5 row beneath it.
- Clear the blue c2 / purple c3 / yellow L / red T / cyan L block across r5-r6. The red T spans r5-r6 c5-c6 and only releases that lane when it clears.
- Finish the red vertical at r1-r2 c6 and the purple vertical at r1-r2 c7 last in the upper phase; they sit directly under the green inlet on the right edge.
- Watch shutter 10 step 9→6→4→3 and open. Do not start the lower chamber until it has fully retracted, because the released blue sand falls through the c4 slot.
- Reduce shutter 6 on the left of the r7 band from 6→5→2 and shutter 25 on the right from 25→24→19→15→14→13→12→11→10→9→8→7→6, keeping r7c4 empty for both.
- Enter the lower chamber at r8: fill the pink 5-badged receiver at c1 and the blue 5-badged receiver at c2 first, then the green vertical at c3, the blue vertical at c4 and the pink 5-badged receiver at c6, waiting for each 0%→100% clear.
- Take the green two-cell receiver at r9 c2-c3 and the green 1x1 at r9 c6, then clear r10 left to right: red c1, the two-cell yellow c2, purple c3, green c4, pink c5, red c6 and the yellow 1x1 at c7.
- Finish r11 with the second half of the two-cell yellow at c2 and the tall green at c4, keeping the right-edge green inlet clear for the last green receiver.
- Confirm every receiver shows 100% and disappears, then wait for the board to animate empty and the SAND BLOCKS confetti card to play.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Parking the cyan L from r5-r6 c7 or the yellow L from r6c4-r6c5 into the c4 slot of the r7 band.
- Starting the lower chamber before shutter 10 has fully retracted, so the released blue sand falls straight through the c4 slot.
- Pulling the red vertical at r1-r2 c6 or the purple vertical at r1-r2 c7 before the c2-c3 yellow pair has cleared.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 326 (quick clues)
- Leave the c4 slot in the r7 band empty for the whole solve; it is the only route between the two chambers.
- Wait for shutter 10 to retract fully before touching the lower chamber, or the released blue sand falls straight through the c4 slot.
- Keep the red vertical at r1-r2 c6 and the purple vertical at r1-r2 c7 for last; they sit under the right-edge green inlet.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Seven columns by eleven rows. Upper chamber r1-r6 holds a pink vertical at r1-r2 c3, a yellow L at r1c5 plus r2c4-r2c5, a red vertical at r1-r2 c6 carrying a gold-ringed 5 badge, a purple vertical at r1-r2 c7, a two-cell yellow receiver at r3-r4 c2-c3 with purple/green/pink/red beside it, and a blue/purple/yellow-L/red-T/cyan-L block across r5-r6. Shutter band at r7 carries shutter 6 on the left and shutter 25 on the right with only the c4 slot open between them. Lower chamber r8-r11 holds pink, blue and pink 5-badged receivers at r8, a green pair at r9 c2-c3, and red/yellow/purple/green/pink/red/yellow across r10-r11.
- Goal
- Drain the left yellow inlet into the yellow L and the c2-c3 yellow pair, reduce shutter 10 off its upper chamber, then take shutter 6 and shutter 25 without ever occupying the c4 slot, so the four 5-badged receivers in r8 can be reached.
- Opening
- No drag in the first four seconds: the blue tube is already running and the left yellow inlet is already spilling into r1-r2. At t≈5 shutter 10 ticks 10→9 and the right-wall box ticks 3→2 while a yellow mass drops into the upper-left chamber and drains into the yellow L and the c2-c3 yellow pair.
- Danger Zone
- The c4 slot in the r7 band is the only vertical link between the chambers and the lane both the pink and purple inlets cross. Parking the cyan L from r5-r6 c7 or the yellow L from r6c4-r6c5 in r7c4 stalls shutter 6 at 6 and shutter 25 at 25 together and leaves every 5-badged receiver in r8 at 0%.
- Mechanics
- A blue top tube over shutter 10, a right-wall box marked 3 fed by a red bar from off-board, paired independent shutters 6 and 25 in one band, four receivers sharing an identical gold-ringed badge reading 5 that does not step down while they fill, and a stepped outline whose upper chamber is two columns narrower than the lower.
Frequently Asked Questions
What actually opens Level 326's lower chamber?
Both shutters in the r7 band have to reach 0 with the c4 slot between them left empty. Shutter 6 is fed by the pink inlet on the left wall and shutter 25 by the purple inlet on the right wall, so a body parked in c4 stalls both at once.
Why do four receivers all show a 5?
The red vertical at r1-r2 c6 and the pink, blue and pink receivers in r8 all carry the same gold-ringed badge reading 5. The number does not step down while they fill, so it marks them rather than counting their fill.
