Sand Shape Level 145 Walkthrough

How to Solve Sand Shape Level 145 — Full Solution
- Fill pink as the top-left 2×2 O.
- Fill peach as the vertical corridor strip immediately right of pink down to the T-hole's top-left corner.
- Fill yellow as the 2×2 O under pink on the left wing above the hole.
- Fill green as the top-right 2×2 O left of the far-upper-right chamber.
- Fill blue as the far-upper-right block right of green above the right wing.
- Fill rose as the top-centre 2×2 O above the T-hole between peach and purple.
- Fill purple as the full top strip between rose and green so the upper-right Similarity diamond matches green.
- Fill lime as the left mid Z under yellow; reshape past any Difference red X so lime stays unlike yellow's O across the left triangle.
- Fill cyan as the left mid upper strip beside the stem-left chambers.
- Fill sky as the stem-left upper 2×2 O.
- Fill violet as the stem-left lower 2×2 O under sky.
- Fill coral as the stem-right upper 2×2 O.
- Fill magenta as the stem-right lower 2×2 O under coral.
- Fill gold as the left-lower block under lime left of violet.
- Fill green as the bottom-left foot.
- Fill teal as the bottom mid-left block right of that foot.
- Fill navy as the bottom-centre block under the stem across the lower diamonds.
- Fill mauve as the narrow strip right of navy.
- Fill maroon as the bottom-right block.
- Fill orange as the far-bottom-right corner tip.
- Fill green as the mid-right wing block right of coral into the remaining right cream.
- Close blue as the lower mid-right wing into the last cream cells, then verify every diamond pair matches and every triangle pair differs.
Colors in this level:
Pink, Peach, Yellow, Green, Blue, Rose, Purple, Lime, Cyan, Sky, Violet, Coral, Magenta, Gold, Teal, Navy, Mauve, Maroon, Orange
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Leaving lime as a second O under yellow so the left mid triangle Difference card flashes red.
- Stopping purple as a short dab so the upper-right diamond stays unmatched to green.
- Painting any region that is neither a 2×2 O nor a skew Z.
Quick Tips for Sand Shape Level 145 (spoiler-free)
- Keep every stroke to a 2×2 O or a skew Z — no 3-cell stubs or 5+ floods.
- Reshape lime until it is unlike yellow across the left mid triangle.
- Finish purple as a full match to green before leaving the upper diamond.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A cream ~8×8 rectangle is cut by a large central T-hole, with wall-carved chambers on the top-left, top-centre, top-right, left mid, both sides of the stem, bottom foot, and right wing. Difference triangles ring the left and lower joins; Similarity diamonds sit on the upper-right, stem flanks, and bottom-centre.
- Goal
- Tile every cell with only O-tetrominoes (2×2) and Z-tetrominoes so every diamond-marked join matches and every triangle-marked join stays unlike.
- Opening
- The verified run fills pink as the top-left 2×2 O, peach as the vertical corridor strip, yellow as the under-pink O, then green and blue on the top-right before rose and purple on the top-centre diamond.
- Danger Zone
- A lime under yellow that is still an O flashes Difference red X on the left mid triangle until lime is a Z; a short purple dab leaves the upper diamond unmatched to green; any region that is neither O nor Z fails the shape card.
- Mechanics
- Required Shapes shows an O-tetromino (2×2) and a Z/S-tetromino; Similarity connects same shapes; Difference connects different shapes across twenty-two O/Z regions.
