Sand Blocks level guide
Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 345 Walkthrough
Level 345 is a dense six-column board with green, blue and yellow top feeds above a gold-framed purple basin that counts 3→2→1 in thirteen seconds and then transforms into a numbered bonus grid with twelve to fifteen time-bonus cells. Clear the tightly packed upper receivers left to right while keeping the r6-r7 passage open, then harvest the bonus cells and finish through a late key-and-chest mechanic.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 345 — Full Solution
- Hold at 0:00: the basin badge reads 3, three top feeds (green c1-c2, blue c3-c4, yellow c5-c6) are delivering sand into the densely packed upper field at r2-r6.
- Watch the basin step 3→2 at about t=2s and 2→1 at about t=7s; at about t=13s the badge clears, the gold frame dissolves and a pink numbered grid with twelve to fifteen bonus cells appears at c1-c6 r7-r12.
- Clear the left-side receivers between about t=15s and t=25s: fill the white 1x1 at c1 r3 under the green feed to 100%, then clear the red 1x1 at c1 r4; each vanish opens c1-c2 for sand to reach the lower grid.
- Clear the centre blocks between about t=25s and t=40s: move the brown blocks at c2-c3 r4-r5 and the yellow 1x2 at c3-c4 r4 to expose the blue feed path; bonus cells in r7-r8 begin filling by about t=30s.
- Clear the right-side receivers between about t=35s and t=55s: remove the tall pink block at c5 r2-r4 and the blue 1x2 at c6 r3-r4 to open the yellow feed, keeping the r6-r7 passage unblocked.
- Between about t=55s and t=70s all three feeds pour into the numbered grid; collect bonus cells top-down, sweeping r7-r8 first, then r9-r10, adding time with each vanish.
- At about t=70s (timer ~00:59) a key icon appears near c3-c4 r7-r8 as surrounding cells clear; pick it up and route it toward the locked chest at c1-c2.
- Between about t=80s and t=100s clear remaining numbered cells and steer the key toward the chest; the timer climbs back into the mid-thirties as high-value cells (+10, +13, +14) vanish.
- At about t=100s (timer ~00:34) the board is down to a purple block at c1, an orange block at c5-c6 and the locked chest at c1-c2; route remaining sand to clear them.
- At about t=118s the chest receives the key and opens; the final blocks vanish and the SAND BLOCKS card plays at about t=120s with roughly 25 seconds remaining on the timer.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Parking the tall pink block or any 1x2 across the r6-r7 passage while upper receivers remain — this seals the entire lower bonus grid and strands every time-bonus cell.
- Clearing the right-side pink block before the left-side white and red receivers are gone, flooding yellow sand into mismatched cells and stalling the green-feed column.
- Ignoring the numbered bonus cells in the lower grid; without the extra time they provide, the dense upper field and late key-and-chest phase will run the 2:00 timer down to zero.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 345 (quick clues)
- Clear upper receivers left to right — green-feed column first, then blue, then yellow.
- Keep the r6-r7 passage between the upper field and the lower bonus grid clear at all times.
- Collect numbered bonus cells early; the extra time they give is the margin for the late key-and-chest phase.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Six columns (c1-c6) by twelve rows (r1-r12). Three independent top feeds: green at c1-c2, blue at c3-c4, yellow at c5-c6. Upper play field r2-r6 densely packed — white 1x1 at c1 r3, red 1x1 at c1 r4, green blocks at c2 r3 and c6 r5, brown/dark blocks at c2-c3 r4-r5, yellow 1x2 at c3-c4 r4, tall pink block at c5 r2-r4, blue 1x2 at c6 r3-r4. Gold-framed purple basin at c1-c6 r7-r12 with badge reading 3 at 0:00.
- Goal
- Wait for the basin badge to clear (3→2→1→0 in thirteen seconds), then use the three feeds to clear the upper receivers and the revealed numbered bonus grid below. A key-and-chest combination near c1-c2 gates the final clears.
- Opening
- Leave the upper receivers in place while the basin steps 3→2 at about t=2s and 2→1 at t=7s. When the badge clears at about t=13s the gold frame dissolves, revealing a pink numbered grid with time bonuses. Start clearing the left-side receivers (white at c1 r3, red at c1 r4) under the green feed.
- Danger Zone
- The r6-r7 passage between the upper play field and the lower grid is the only entry. Parking a tall block — the pink at c5 r2-r4 or the yellow at c3-c4 — across that passage seals the bonus grid and wastes the three feeds. Clearing the right-side pink block before the left-side receivers releases yellow sand into mismatched cells.
- Mechanics
- Gold-framed purple basin badge stepping 3→2→1 in thirteen seconds then transforming into a time-bonus numbered grid, three independent colour feeds (green, blue, yellow), twelve to fifteen numbered bonus cells (+2 to +14 seconds each), a key-and-chest lock near c1-c2 in the late game, and dense upper packing that forces a strict left-to-right clearing order.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the basin sit still for the first thirteen seconds?
The gold-framed basin carries a badge that counts 3→2→1. Nothing can enter the lower half until the badge reaches zero and the frame dissolves, revealing the numbered bonus grid beneath.
What do the numbers in the pink grid cells mean?
Each numbered cell is a time bonus. When sand fills it to 100% it vanishes and adds that many seconds to the countdown timer — values range from +2 to +14.
How does the key-and-chest mechanic work at the end?
A key icon appears in the lower grid as surrounding cells clear, and a locked chest sits near c1-c2. Clearing the blocks between them lets the key reach the chest, which opens and removes the final obstacle.
