Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 340 Walkthrough
Level 340 is a Super Hard six-column board with three counter groups (5 at c1, 11 at c2-c3, 20 at c5), a gold padlock on the cyan receiver at c3-c5 r2, a gold key at c1 r6-r7, and a basin badge that runs 8→0 as the master clock before the blue feed opens the second half.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 340 — Full Solution
- Hold the opening receivers in place while the red tube feeds for about 5s; the basin badge drops 8→6 and the 20-badge at c5 steps to 18 as the first 0% cells at c3-c4 r1 fill and clear.
- At about t=7s the feed turns green. The 5-counter at c1 steps 5→2, the 11-counter at c2-c3 steps toward 8, the 20-counter at c5 steps to 17, and the basin drops to 5 — all in the same two-second window.
- By about t=10s the 5-counter hits 1, the 11-counter reads 7, the 20-counter reads 16 and the basin reads 4. Lift and re-place receivers to keep the c3-c4 tube lane clear for green sand to reach deeper rows.
- From about t=20s to t=40s the basin badge holds at 3 while the 20-counter steps through 15 and the 11-counter through 6. Keep the green L's vertical arm at c1 r3-r4 out of the key-to-lock path.
- By about t=50s the counters read about 3 and 12. Red-coloured receivers in the lower rows begin filling from the left inlet pipe. The pink-striped count cell at c5-c6 r4 steps alongside the right-side 20-counter.
- At about t=60s the basin badge clears to zero; the purple basin converts to terrain, the board opens downward, and the tube switches from green to blue feed.
- From about t=70s to t=80s blue receivers fill in the upper rows. Clear any green or yellow pieces between the gold key at c1 r6-r7 and the padlock at c3-c5 r2 so the key can travel.
- Between about t=80s and t=100s the pink-striped counter at c5-c6 steps from about 5 to 4, and the 20-counter's receivers keep filling as blue sand reaches the right column, stepping 9→5→4.
- From about t=120s to t=130s the board is down to a yellow block, a brown L-piece, a green L-receiver and the pink count cell. A bonus at about t=125s pushes the timer from 00:39 back up to 00:44.
- At about t=150s the green L-receiver reaches 100% and clears. The last purple and grey receivers under the tube fill and vanish, and the board empties at about t=155s with the SAND BLOCKS card at timer 00:19.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Blocking the c3-c4 tube lane with a mismatched receiver during the brief red feed, which wastes the only five seconds of red sand and stalls the basin badge at 8.
- Parking the green L's vertical arm or the yellow bar across the c1 key-to-lock path before the basin clears, stranding the gold key at c1 r6-r7 and leaving the padlock locked.
- Filling c5-c6 with a non-blue receiver after t=60s, which blocks the 20-counter's right-column lane during the blue-feed phase and stalls the counter at 9 or higher.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 340 (quick clues)
- The red feed lasts only five seconds; do not block c3-c4 r1 with a mismatched receiver.
- Keep the c1 column open between the gold key at r6-r7 and the padlock at c3-c5 r2 so the key can reach the lock after the basin clears.
- Save blue-matching receivers for the blue feed that starts at about t=60s when the basin badge hits zero.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Six columns (c1-c6) by seven rows (r1-r7) above a full-width purple basin. Red tube at c3-c4 from above; left inlet pipe at r4. Row 1: line of 0% receivers — dark-brown pair at c1-c2, dark cells at c3-c4, small receivers at c5-c6. Row 2: large cyan receiver at c3-c5 with gold padlock, green L-receiver (horizontal c1-c3, vertical arm c1 r3-r4), 0% cells at c6. Row 3: yellow horizontal bar at c2-c4, gold 5-badge at c1, 11-badge at c2-c3, 20-badge at c5. Row 4: orange 1x2 at c4-c5, black receiver at c3, pink-striped count cell at c5-c6. Row 5: yellow block at c1-c2. Row 6-7: gold key icon at c1. Basin at c1-c6 bottom, badge 8.
- Goal
- Step counters 5/11/20 and basin badge 8 to zero, unlock the padlock on the cyan receiver using the gold key, and clear every receiver through the red, green and blue feed phases. The basin badge gates the second half and clears at about t=60s.
- Opening
- Red feed lasts only about 5s; by t=5s basin drops 8→6, 20-badge steps to 18. Feed turns green at t=7s and the ladder accelerates: by t=10s counters read 1/7/16 and basin reads 4. The 5-counter and 11-counter finish first, leaving the 20-counter (around 15) and basin (3) as mid-game clocks.
- Danger Zone
- The padlock on the cyan receiver at c3-c5 r2 is the level's gate. Parking the green L's vertical arm at c1 r3-r4 or the yellow bar at c2-c4 r3 across the key-to-lock path strands the gold key. The pink-striped count cell at c5-c6 r4 shares the right column with the 20-counter's receivers; filling c5-c6 early with a mismatched colour stalls the counter when the blue feed needs that lane.
- Mechanics
- SUPER HARD level, three independent counter groups (5/11/20) stepping as nearby receivers fill, gold key at c1 to padlock at c3-c5 r2, basin badge 8→0 as master clock, and a three-phase feed: red for 5s, green from t=7s to t=60s, blue from t=60s onward.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the level say SUPER HARD?
Level 340 is a milestone level that combines three independent counter groups, a key-lock gate, a basin countdown and a three-phase feed; the SUPER HARD badge warns that all four mechanics run simultaneously.
When does the blue feed start?
At about t=60s, the moment the basin badge at c1-c6 clears to zero. The purple basin converts to terrain and the tube switches from green to blue in the same instant.
What is the gold key for?
The gold key at c1 r6-r7 must travel upward to unlock the padlock on the large cyan receiver at c3-c5 r2. Until the lock opens, the cyan receiver cannot fill and the upper row stays blocked.
