hard Target: 8 moves 7 colors

Sand Shape Level 12 is a 34-cell stepped board for four-cell lines and 2x2 squares. Build from the top down, then use the lower square and bottom line to close the long winding board.

Board Notes

Layout: The board fits a 6-column by 8-row coordinate box with stepped side openings and a central wall pocket. The playable cells are `r1c1`-`r1c4`, `r1c6`; `r2c3`-`r3c6`; `r4c1`-`r4c3`, `r4c6`; `r5c1`-`r5c3`, `r5c5`-`r5c6`; and `r6c3`-`r8c6`.
Goal: Use four-cell lines and 2x2 squares: red top line `r1c1`-`r1c4`; orange vertical line `r2c3`-`r5c3`; yellow square `r2c4`-`r3c5`; green line `r1c6`-`r4c6`; turquoise square `r4c1`-`r5c2`; purple square `r5c5`-`r6c6`; blue square `r6c3`-`r7c4`; and red bottom line `r8c3`-`r8c6`.
Opening: Fill the top red line first, then the central orange line and yellow square before taking the right edge.
Danger Zone: The central pocket is not playable space. Keep the orange line in column 3, keep the yellow square in columns 4-5, and do not try to bridge the pocket into the purple square.
Mechanics: The Required Shapes card displays a four-cell straight line and a 2x2 square. The video confirms eight accepted regions and the completion board; it does not show a penalty rule.

Quick Tips for Sand Shape Level 12 (spoiler-free)

Treat the board as a chain of four-cell pieces: top line, center line, two upper squares, two lower squares, and the bottom line.
The bottom red line belongs on `r8c3`-`r8c6`; do not pull it upward through the stepped opening.
Think in chain clears. The best move is the one that sets up the next two moves, not just the quickest current match.
