Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 347 Walkthrough

expert 8 colors

Level 347 is a hard 6x10 board with five counters (17, 4, 25, 13, 3), three top tubes (green, pink, yellow), two side inlets and a yellow-framed bottom basin. The small 4-badge depletes in five seconds; the two main counters then plateau at 14 and 22 until the middle receivers are repositioned, gating a late red-receiver finish.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 347 — Full Solution

  1. Read the opening at timer 1:15: green tube at c1-c2, pink tube at c3-c4, yellow tube at c5-c6. Counters: 17 at c1, 4 at c3-c4 top, 25 at c3, 13 at c5-c6 and 3 at lower-centre, plus skull-badged receivers in the yellow-framed basin.
  2. Let the three tubes run for about five seconds. The 4-badge steps 4→3→2→1→0 and depletes by about timer 1:10. The left 17 drops to 14, the centre 25 drops to 22 and the right 13 drops to 10.
  3. After the 4-badge clears the main counters stall at 14 and 22. Lift the green receiver from c1 r1 and the yellow receiver from c2-c3, repositioning them to unblock the c3-c4 tube lane.
  4. Clear the light-blue horizontal bar and the magenta block from the upper rows, freeing the pink and yellow tube lanes. The 14-badge and 22-badge resume stepping at about timer 0:54.
  5. Work the mid-section receivers: clear blue and magenta blocks from c4-c6, then the lavender receivers blocking the basin entrance. The 13-badge on the right continues stepping through this window.
  6. At about timer 0:48 the 3-badge begins stepping 3→2→1 and clears by about 0:40, opening the yellow-framed basin for the final drain.
  7. Between timer 0:40 and 0:31 the main counters accelerate: left from about 11 to 10, centre from about 19 to 18. Clear lavender, yellow and green receivers in the basin as they reach 100%.
  8. A green +10 time bonus fires at about timer 0:26. Use this window to clear the cyan L-shaped receivers and remaining yellow blocks in the lower rows.
  9. By timer 0:25 the left counter reads 3 and the centre reads 11. Clear the remaining cyan, magenta and yellow receivers as they fill.
  10. At about timer 0:21 the left counter reads 2 and the centre reads 10. The board is mostly empty except for a few red and cyan receivers in the lower half.
  11. Between timer 0:15 and 0:12 only a large red receiver (approximately 2x2) at centre and a small purple piece below remain. The red receiver fills to 100% and clears.
  12. At about timer 0:10 the last piece vanishes and the SAND BLOCKS card plays, confirming the empty board.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Leaving the middle receivers stacked while the 4-badge has already cleared, burning 16 seconds of timer during the 14/22 plateau.
  • Placing a wide receiver across c3-c4 in the mid-rows, which blocks the pink tube lane and both side inlets at once.
  • Ignoring the 3-badge in the lower area — it gates the basin phase and does not start stepping until the mid-section is open.

Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 347 (quick clues)

  • The 4-badge at top-centre depletes in about five seconds and unlocks the opening; do not touch receivers until it clears.
  • Break the 14/22 plateau by lifting the green and yellow receivers from the upper rows to reopen the tube lanes.
  • The 3-badge in the lower area does not begin stepping until the middle section is substantially clear.
Board notes 5 details
Layout
Six columns by ten rows. Three vertical tubes at the top: green at c1-c2, pink at c3-c4, yellow at c5-c6. Blue side inlet from the left wall at about r6, cyan side inlet from the right wall at about r6. Upper rows hold a green receiver at c1 r1, a yellow receiver at c2-c3, a light-blue horizontal bar across c3-c5 r1-r2, a magenta block at c5-c6, and stacked coloured receivers in the mid-section. Five counters at 1:15: 17-badge at c1 r2-r3, 4-badge at c3-c4 r1-r2, 25-badge at c3 r3-r4, 13-badge at c5-c6 r2, 3-badge at lower-centre r7. Yellow-framed basin spans c1-c6 at r7-r10 with skull-badged receivers at its base and large lavender receivers filling the interior.
Goal
Deplete the fast 4-badge to unlock flow, break the 14/22 plateau by repositioning middle receivers, clear the 3-badge to open the basin, then fill and clear a large red receiver at the end.
Opening
Let all three tubes run for five seconds while the 4-badge steps 4→3→2→1→0. During that window the left 17 drops to 14, the centre 25 drops to 22 and the right 13 drops to 10. After the 4-badge clears, the main counters stall — reposition the green and yellow receivers from the upper rows to reopen the c3-c4 tube lane.
Danger Zone
The plateau from timer 1:10 to 0:54 burns time while the 17-badge and 25-badge stall at 14 and 22. The middle receivers must be lifted to reopen the tube lanes. Placing a wide receiver across c3-c4 in the mid-rows blocks the pink tube and both side inlets, isolating the basin from all feeds.
Mechanics
Five simultaneous counters with a fast 4-badge gate, a mid-game counter plateau that freezes until receivers are manually repositioned, a yellow-framed bottom basin with skull-badged receivers, three top-tube colour feeds plus two side inlets (six inputs total), and a late red-receiver phase where a large red block fills to 100% before the board empties.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why do the two main counters freeze after the opening?

    The 17-badge and 25-badge plateau at 14 and 22 because the stacked middle receivers block the tube lanes. Repositioning those receivers to reopen the c3-c4 pink tube lane lets the counters resume.

  • What is the large red block at the end?

    It is a late-phase red receiver approximately 2x2 that must fill to 100% from the remaining tube feed before the board empties. It appears after all other receivers are cleared.

  • How do the five counters relate to each other?

    The 4-badge is a fast opening gate that clears in five seconds. The 17 and 25 are the main clocks that plateau together. The 13 on the right steps independently. The 3 in the lower area gates the basin and only starts once the mid-section is open.
