Sand Shape Level 143 Walkthrough
Sand Shape Level 143 is a ten-gem Similarity board. Lock the bottom pink/peach/yellow stack, raise the left green L to clear the bottom diamond, thread cyan and blue through the upper diamonds, then close purple, rose, orange, and lime.

How to Solve Sand Shape Level 143 — Full Solution
- Fill pink as the bottom-protrusion monomino under the pink gem.
- Fill peach as the bottom L spanning the cells left of pink and the right-protrusion gem so peach holds exactly that one leaf.
- Fill yellow as the bottom-left vertical domino (upper pocket cell plus the bottom-left gem cell).
- Fill green as the full left L covering the mid-left gem and the foot above the bottom diamond so green matches peach; finish the silhouette if a partial-fill Similarity X appears.
- Fill cyan as the top-left monomino under the top-left gem.
- Fill blue as the full centre snake from the top band down through the lower-centre gem so every upper diamond matches green; finish the silhouette if a partial-fill Similarity X appears.
- Fill purple as the centre-left monomino pocket under the centre-left gem (the notch inside green/blue).
- Fill rose as the lower-mid-right monomino under the lower-centre-right gem.
- Fill orange as the top-centre monomino under the top-centre gem (second peach-family region — not an extension of bottom peach).
- Close lime as the top-right/right-wing wrap covering the mid-right gem so lime matches blue across the remaining diamond, then verify every region holds exactly one leaf.
Colors in this level:
Pink, Peach, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Purple, Rose, Orange, Lime
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Stopping green as a short dab above the bottom diamond so Similarity stays red against peach.
- Stopping blue as a short top band so the upper diamonds stay red against green.
- Merging peach into pink, or blue into purple/rose, so one region holds two leaf gems.
Quick Tips for Sand Shape Level 143 (spoiler-free)
- Finish the bottom pink/peach/yellow stack before raising the left green L.
- Grow green, blue, and lime to full L/snake silhouettes — partial fills are the video's red X states.
- Treat orange as a second peach-family monomino on the top centre, not a merge into bottom peach.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- An irregular cream polyomino (~6×5 footprint) steps out on the upper-right wing and lower-right protrusion. Ten green leaf gems: top-left, top-centre, mid-left, centre-left, mid-right, lower-centre, lower-centre-right, right-protrusion, bottom-left, and bottom-protrusion. Similarity diamonds: upper-left vertical, upper-mid vertical, mid vertical, bottom horizontal, and right horizontal.
- Goal
- Partition every cream cell into ten one-gem regions so every diamond-marked join pairs matching silhouettes.
- Opening
- The verified run fills pink as the bottom-protrusion monomino, peach as the bottom L through the right-protrusion gem, yellow as the bottom-left vertical domino, then green as the full left L across the bottom diamond.
- Danger Zone
- Partial green above the bottom diamond, partial blue right of the upper-left diamond, and partial lime on the top-right bay each flash Similarity red X until the full matching silhouette is painted; merging any two leaf gems into one stroke fails the one-gem card.
- Mechanics
- Each shape has exactly one green leaf gem; Similarity connects same shapes across five diamond walls and ten regions.

Each shape must contain exactly one green leaf gem, and every diamond-marked join must pair matching silhouettes. Ten leaves force ten colour regions.
What is the safest opening for Sand Shape Level 143?
