Sand Blocks level guide
Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 339 Walkthrough
Level 339 hides a second board behind a shutter-4 reservoir. Clear roughly fourteen receivers under a red-to-green pipe feed while three counters (shutter 4, left 7, bottom 8) step down, then work the revealed yellow/brown/pink upper section as the tube cycles brown, pink and purple sand before a late cyan finish.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 339 — Full Solution
- At 1:15 read the opening: shutter 4, left counter 7, bottom counter 8, white sparkly receiver at c3-c4 r4-r5 blocking the tube, red pipe at c6, and roughly fourteen 0% receivers in the lower chamber.
- Clear the white sparkly receiver at c3-c4 r4-r5; at about 1:13 the shutter steps to 3, left to 6, bottom to 7, and red sand forms a triangle at the pipe inlet at c4-c5.
- Place a red receiver under the pipe and clear the dark-red and magenta cells on the left (c1-c2 r4, c2 r5-r6) while the shutter steps to 2 at about 1:11 and then stalls through 1:03.
- During the stall at 2 (1:08 to 1:03) work the blue horizontal at c3-c4 r6 and the black cells at c1 r6-r7 to bring the left counter to 4 and bottom counter to 5.
- At about 1:01 the shutter reaches 1, left counter 4, bottom 5. Clear the remaining pink and dark cells in r5-r7 as the red feed finishes.
- At about 0:53 green sand appears at the pipe; clear the last red receiver and swap a green-compatible one under the pipe. Left counter 3, bottom 4.
- At 0:52 the shutter hits 0; at 0:51 the reservoir clears, revealing a new upper section with a wide yellow receiver at c2-c5 r1-r2, brown cells at c3-c4 r3, purple 5-badge cells at c1 r1 and c6 r1, and a large green triangle receiver at c3-c5 r5-r6.
- From 0:50 to 0:43 brown sand pours from the tube; clear the yellow receiver at c2-c5 r1-r2, then the brown cells and flanking dark cells. Left counter 2, bottom counter to 1.
- At about 0:36 the tube switches to pink/magenta. Clear the green triangle receiver and the mid-left green cell as they fill from the green/cyan pipe.
- From 0:28 to 0:18 clear the tall pink receiver in the upper centre and the last lower receivers (blue at c3 r7, green at c5-c6 r7).
- At about 0:15 purple sand fills a top receiver; the purple 5-badge cell clears with +5 bonus time. A cyan receiver fills from the right pipe. Clear the last pieces.
- The board empties at about 0:02; the Level 339 completion card shows 76% progress and 40 coin reward.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Leaving the white sparkly receiver at c3-c4 r4-r5 in place too long, which blocks the tube and prevents the shutter from stepping past 4.
- Parking a non-red receiver under the pipe during the shutter-2 stall (1:08 to 1:03), which wastes the red feed and freezes the countdown.
- Keeping a red receiver under the pipe after 0:53 when the feed has already turned green, stranding the half-filled cell.
- Ignoring the 8-badge counter at c1-c2 r8 in the first phase, leaving too many lower receivers in place when the second phase opens at 0:51.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 339 (quick clues)
- Clear the white sparkly receiver at c3-c4 first to open the tube path and start the shutter countdown.
- Use the shutter stall at 2 (1:08 to 1:03) to clear left-side black and blue receivers without rushing the pipe.
- Switch to a green receiver at about 0:53 when the pipe changes; leaving a red cell there strands it.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Six columns by eight rows in two sections. Upper: a yellow-bordered reservoir at c1-c5 r1-r3 with shutter badge 4 and a centre tube at c3. Lower chamber r4-r8: white sparkly receiver at c3-c4 r4-r5, dark-red cells at c1-c2 r4, blue horizontal at c3-c4 r6, red pipe inlet at c6 r4-r5, black cells at c1 r6-r7, magenta/pink at c2 r5-r6 and c5-c6 r5-r6, brown at c4 r6, red at c5-c6 r4, pink-striped 8-badge at c1-c2 r8. Left wall counter 7 at c1 r4.
- Goal
- Step the reservoir shutter 4-3-2-1-0 to open the second phase, then clear the revealed upper receivers through three tube-feed stages (brown, pink, purple) while draining the green/cyan pipe into a triangle receiver in the lower section.
- Opening
- Clear the white sparkly receiver at c3-c4 r4-r5 to unblock the tube path. At about 1:13 the shutter steps to 3, red sand flows from the pipe, and the first counter cycle begins. Place a red receiver under the pipe and clear left-side cells while the shutter holds at 2 from 1:08 to 1:03.
- Danger Zone
- Parking a non-red receiver under the pipe while the shutter stalls at 2 wastes red feed and freezes the countdown. When green arrives at about 0:53, a red receiver under the pipe collects the wrong colour. The 8-badge cell at c1-c2 r8 is the slowest counter; leaving too many lower receivers uncleared before 0:51 crowds the second-phase upper section.
- Mechanics
- Three independent counters: shutter 4 on the reservoir, left-wall 7 and bottom 8 stepping with receiver clears. Right pipe feed changes red to green at about 0:53. Second phase after 0:51 reveals a new upper section; tube cycles brown (0:48), pink/magenta (0:36), purple (0:18). A green triangle receiver in the lower section collects from the green/cyan pipe. Purple 5-badge cell awards +5 bonus time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the shutter stall at 2 for so long?
The shutter only steps when the pipe feed reaches a receiver that can accept it. Between 1:08 and 1:03 the receivers under the pipe are filling; once one clears, the shutter resumes and drops to 1 at about 1:01.
What triggers the second phase?
The reservoir shutter reaching 0 at about 0:52 removes the yellow frame and reveals a new upper section with yellow, brown and pink receivers. The tube simultaneously changes from the first-phase feed to brown sand.
How does the pipe change colour?
The right-side pipe delivers red during the first phase, transitions to green at about 0:53, and continues green/cyan through the second phase to fill the triangle receiver and the late cyan cell.
