Sand Blocks: Drop Puzzle Level 363 Walkthrough

expert 11 colors

Level 363 carries the game's Hard label and a 1:40 timer, and it unfolds in three stages. Two glass caps (12 and 8), a checkered wrapper marked 10, a shutter marked 6 and a lower shutter marked 17 all tick down together with every clear. The first shutter lifts at about 1:28, the second at about 0:51, and the last stage is fed by an 8-piece crate and three sand tanks sealed in glass.

How to Solve Sand Blocks Level 363 — Full Solution

  1. At about 1:40 on the timer, the yellow upright on the right fills and clears. The caps drop to 11 and 7, the wrapper to 9, the shutter to 5 and the lower shutter to 16.
  2. From about 1:36 to 1:29, clear yellow smalls under the right outlet, then magenta pieces once it turns pink. Each clear lowers all five numbers; by 1:29 the caps read 7 and 3 and the first shutter reads 1.
  3. At about 1:28 the first shutter lifts. It reveals a dark green square, orange sand held in a glass box, a checkered wrapper L marked 8, a magenta upright, a green square, a cyan L and a brown bar.
  4. At about 1:25 a magenta small clears under the right outlet. The middle cap is down to 1 and the lower shutter to 10.
  5. At about 1:14, slide the brown bar against the side chamber's opening; it is at 97% and clears. At about 1:13 the middle cap breaks and blue starts to pour.
  6. Between about 1:10 and 1:06, catch blue in the small blue blocks and a blue bar under the middle outlet. The top wrapper counts down to 1 and opens, and the left cap falls to 1.
  7. At about 1:05 the left cap breaks and green pours from the left outlet, while the middle outlet switches to purple. The lower shutter now reads 5.
  8. At about 0:57, the green square under the left outlet is full. On the same clear the wrapper L reaches zero and unwraps into an orange L under the glass box. At about 0:56 the cyan L clears under the left outlet as it switches to cyan, and the lower shutter reads 1.
  9. At about 0:51 a magenta upright fills under the right outlet and the lower shutter lifts. The bottom stage shows a crate marked 8, a white square, a dark green square and green sand sealed in a glass box at the bottom right.
  10. From about 0:47 to 0:34, drag pieces out of the crate: white and black uprights, a white L, a purple bar and a magenta square. The badge falls 8, 7, 6 and on down to 1, and the crate is gone by about 0:30. At about 0:34 a brown L at the side chamber reaches 95%.
  11. At about 0:31 the orange L is full under its glass box, and at about 0:29 the dark green square is full beside the green glass box.
  12. At about 0:24 the purple bar is at 42% under the middle outlet and clears at 0:23. The middle outlet turns white: a white upright is full at about 0:22.
  13. At about 0:18 the magenta square empties the right outlet, and a green upright takes the last of the green glass box at about 0:17. The white square and white L clear at about 0:16 and 0:15.
  14. The middle outlet switches to black. Two black uprights fill one after the other, and the second reads 100% at about 0:13 as the board clears.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Playing slowly in the first stage. Every clear counts toward both shutters, and the lower shutter alone needs 17 clears before the crate appears.
  • Blocking the space under the orange glass box. The orange L that unwraps there at about 0:57 has to stay directly beneath it to fill.
  • Dragging crate pieces out and leaving them anywhere. The bottom stage is small, and the white, black and magenta pieces must reach the top outlets while the outlets are on their colour.

Quick Tips for Sand Blocks Level 363 (quick clues)

  • Every clear counts toward everything. Small one-cell blocks under the yellow and pink outlet are the fastest way to push the shutters down.
  • Do not wait for the orange sand. It stays locked until the checkered L beneath it unwraps at about 0:57 on the timer.
  • When the lower shutter lifts, drag pieces out of the crate one by one and drop each straight under its colour: white and black under the middle outlet, magenta under the right.
  • Remember the brown side chamber. A receiver slid against its opening near the bottom right takes the brown, first at about 1:14 and again at about 0:34.
Board notes 5 details
Layout
A narrow board with three outlets along the top edge: a left outlet under a glass cap marked 12, a middle outlet under a glass cap marked 8, and an open right outlet pouring yellow. The top rows hold small yellow, blue, purple and magenta blocks, a dark green upright and a pink checkered wrapper marked 10. A striped shutter marked 6 fills the middle of the board and a second shutter marked 17 covers the bottom. A thin chamber of brown sand runs down the outside of the right wall.
Goal
Clear everything before the timer runs out. Each clear lowers both caps, both wrappers and both shutters by one. The caps open the green-and-cyan left outlet and the blue-then-purple middle outlet, the shutters reveal two more stages, and the final crate supplies the pieces that finish the white and black loads.
Opening
The yellow upright on the right is already filling at the start and clears at about 1:40, taking every number down by one. Keep feeding yellow into the small yellow blocks, then magenta once the right outlet switches to pink. By about 1:29 the first shutter reads 1, and the next clear lifts it.
Danger Zone
The orange sand behind the first shutter sits inside a glass box, and only the wrapper L marked 8 beneath it turns into the orange receiver. That wrapper does not open until the counter reaches it at about 0:57, so orange cannot be cleared early. Blocking the cells under the glass box with spare pieces leaves the orange L nowhere to go.
Mechanics
One global clear counter drives every number: glass caps 12 and 8, wrappers 10 and 8, shutters 6 and 17 all drop together on each clear. The first shutter hides a second stage and the lower shutter hides a third. Wrappers unwrap into ordinary receivers at zero. The left outlet runs green then cyan, the middle outlet blue then purple, white and black, and the right outlet yellow then pink. Orange and green sand wait in glass boxes that pour into a receiver placed beneath them, and the brown side chamber pours into a receiver set against its opening. The bottom crate gives out eight pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why do so many numbers change at once on this level?

    They all share one counter. Each clear takes one point off both glass caps, both checkered wrappers and both shutters together, so there is no separate order to follow.

  • Where does the orange sand go?

    The orange sand is sealed in a glass box behind the first shutter. The checkered L marked 8 under it unwraps into an orange L at about 0:57 on the timer, and that L fills from the box.

  • What is the box marked 8 at the bottom?

    A crate holding eight pieces. Each drag takes one out and lowers the badge by one. It supplies the white, black, purple and magenta pieces for the final loads.
