Sand Blocks level guide
Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 357 Walkthrough
Level 357 carries the game's Hard label; on its seven-column board every number is a clear counter: the shutter (7), a glass cap on the left orange outlet (4), and pink checkered wrappers (25, 16, 16, 7) all drop together each time a piece clears. The right-wall blue tank does the early work; the top half later adds a green tank and a second glass-capped yellow outlet.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 357 — Full Solution
- At about 2:50 on the timer the blue L under the right tank fills and clears; at 2:49 the shutter reads 6, the cap 3 and the wrappers 24, 15, 15 and 6.
- At about 2:46 slide a blue 1x1 into c7 r9, then the blue vertical; they clear at 2:44 and 2:43, leaving the shutter at 4 and the glass cap at 1.
- Between about 2:42 and 2:10 rearrange the lower board: pack the wrappers out of column 7, stand an orange vertical next to the capped outlet and work the second blue vertical down to c7 r9.
- At about 2:09 that blue vertical is 100%; the glass cap shatters and orange sand bursts into the orange vertical beside it (42% at 2:09, 71% at 2:08). The shutter reads 3.
- At about 2:01 pull the blue vertical out of the left dispenser (badge 3→2) and bring it to c7 r9; it clears at 1:49 and the shutter reads 2.
- At about 1:33 lift the green square out of c1-c2 r9 so the orange outlet can pour straight down; an orange piece clears there at 1:32 and the shutter reads 1.
- At about 1:28 drop the 71% orange vertical into c1 r9-r10; it finishes at 1:27 and the shutter lifts, revealing a capped yellow outlet (6) at the top-left, a blue bar, a green tank with a dispenser marked 3 at the top-right, and more wrappers.
- At about 1:16 an orange L fills under the orange outlet (cap 6→5 at 1:15). At about 0:55 an orange vertical follows (23%, then 100% at 0:54) and the cap reads 3.
- At about 0:51 empty the top-right dispenser: a green piece (badge 2), a blue square at 0:50 (badge 1), and the box is gone by 0:49.
- At about 0:44 a green piece is 100% under the green tank; the cap reads 2, then 1 at 0:43, and at 0:42 it shatters and the yellow outlet opens.
- Between about 0:35 and 0:25 run blue to c7 r9: a blue L (40% at 0:35), then the blue bars (36% at 0:34, 56% at 0:28, 62% at 0:26) until the last is 100% at 0:25 and the tank is empty.
- At the same time feed the top sources: a green L is 100% at 0:28, the yellow L at 0:26 and another yellow piece at 0:23, while the green square starts filling (29% at 0:22).
- At about 0:21 an orange vertical clears under the orange outlet; the left dispenser releases a green L at 0:19 (badge 1) and the last wrappers open into orange pieces at 0:18.
- At about 0:17 the green L is full; orange pieces clear at 0:16 and 0:15, then the yellow bar from the dispenser fills under the yellow outlet and the board is empty at 0:13.
Colors in this level:
Blue, Orange, Green, Yellow
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Leaving wrappers or the orange L parked in column 7 so the blue tank has nowhere to pour.
- Keeping the green square on c1-c2 r9 after the orange cap breaks; the orange outlet cannot pour past it.
- Treating the wrapper numbers as separate goals; they all fall together with every clear, so there is no order to follow among them.
- Waiting on the green tank before its dispenser is empty; the box blocks it until about 0:49.
Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 357 (quick clues)
- Every clear lowers every number on the board, so any colour you can finish counts toward the shutter and the caps.
- The orange outlet does not open until the glass cap reaches zero at about 2:09; stage an orange piece beside it before then.
- The top-right dispenser sits under the green tank; empty it (green piece, blue square) before expecting the green tank to pour.
- The yellow outlet in the top-left stays capped until about 0:42, so leave the yellow L and yellow bar for the end.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Seven columns by ten rows once revealed. A shutter marked 7 covers r1-r4, with yellow and green pipes entering it from above. Lower half at the start: an orange dispenser marked 3 at c1 r6-r7; a glass cap marked 4 over an orange outlet at c1-c2 r8 (pipe on the left wall); a blue tank on the right wall at c7 r7-r8 that pours into c7 r9. Pieces include a green square c1-c2 r9-r10, green bars at c3-c4 r5, c5-c6 r6 and c4-c5 r9, an orange L at c6-c7 r5 plus c7 r6, orange and blue verticals at c3 and c4 r6-r7, a yellow L around c5-c6 r7-r8, blue 1x1s at c5 r8 and c3 r9, a blue L at c6-c7 r9-r10, an orange 1x1 at c5 r10, and wrappers marked 25 (c5 r5), 16 (c3-c4 r8), 16 (c6 r9) and 7 (c3-c4 r10).
- Goal
- Feed blue pieces to c7 r9 until the glass cap breaks and the shutter lifts, then serve three sources at once: the orange outlet at c1-c2 r8, the green tank in the top-right corner and the yellow outlet in the top-left, which is capped until its own count runs out.
- Opening
- The blue L at c6-c7 r9-r10 is already under the tank and clears at about 2:49, dropping every counter by one. Two more blue pieces at c7 r9 bring the shutter to 4 and the glass cap to 1 by 2:43.
- Danger Zone
- Column 7 below the blue tank is the only place blue can land, and the wrappers and orange pieces crowd it after the opening. Also keep c1-c2 r9 free once the orange cap breaks: the green square starts there and has to move before orange pieces can fill.
- Mechanics
- Global clear counter on the shutter, both glass caps and every wrapper; wrappers open into ordinary pieces (blue, then orange) when they reach zero; a pipe-fed blue tank on the right wall; a green tank at the top right held back by a three-piece dispenser; a left-side dispenser that releases a blue vertical, a green L and a yellow bar.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do all the numbers count?
Clears. The shutter, both glass caps and every checkered wrapper drop by one each time any piece clears, so they move together rather than on separate timers.
What is under the checkered wrappers?
Ordinary pieces. One opened into a blue piece around 0:33, and the last ones opened into orange pieces at about 0:18.
Where does the orange sand come from?
An outlet on the left wall at c1-c2 r8. It is capped by glass until the count hits zero at about 2:09, then pours straight down into c1-c2 r9.
