Sand Shape Level 146 Walkthrough
Sand Shape Level 146 is a funnel U/Z Difference board. Build the left pink/peach/yellow cascade, seat green as the centre plus after rejecting the hatched mega-fill, drop cyan and blue, then close the top row with purple, rose, brown, and ivory.

How to Solve Sand Shape Level 146 — Full Solution
- Fill pink as the top-left wing on the upper-left ledge.
- Fill peach as the stepped block under pink on the left rail.
- Fill yellow as the mid-left block under peach toward the lower-left triangle.
- After discarding the red-hatched green mega-fill, fill green as the compact centre plus/U so it seats against the lower triangles without swallowing the right cream.
- Fill cyan as the bottom tip under green, keeping it unlike green across both lower Difference triangles.
- Fill blue as the mid-right T/L right of green under the upper wall stub.
- Fill purple as the top mid-right block right of the upper triangle wall, unlike blue across that triangle.
- Fill rose as the top-centre block between pink and purple.
- Fill brown as the top-right block right of purple.
- Close ivory as the far top-right pocket into the last cream cells, then verify every triangle pair differs.
Colors in this level:
Pink, Peach, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Purple, Rose, Brown, Ivory
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Keeping the red-hatched green mega-fill across the centre-right instead of the compact centre plus.
- Matching green to cyan across either lower triangle, or purple to blue across the upper wall stub.
Quick Tips for Sand Shape Level 146 (spoiler-free)
- Discard the hatched green mega-fill — the real green is only the compact centre plus.
- Keep cyan unlike green on the tip triangles.
- Seat purple unlike blue across the upper wall stub before closing the top-right pocket.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A cream funnel / inverted pyramid steps from a wide top row down to a single-cell tip, with an upper mid wall stub holding a Difference triangle and two more Difference triangles on the lower-left step and lower-centre stem.
- Goal
- Tile every cell with only U-pentominoes and Z-tetrominoes so every triangle-marked join stays unlike.
- Opening
- The verified run fills pink as the top-left wing, peach under pink, yellow under peach, then green as the compact centre plus after discarding the red-hatched green mega-fill.
- Danger Zone
- The red-hatched green mega-fill after yellow is a pure rejection; green and cyan must stay unlike across the lower triangles; purple and blue must stay unlike across the upper wall-stub triangle.
- Mechanics
- Required Shapes shows a U-pentomino and a Z/S-tetromino; Difference connects different shapes. No Similarity diamonds. Ten U/Z regions pack the funnel.
Frequently Asked Questions
What silhouettes does Sand Shape Level 146 require?
Only the two card shapes: the U-pentomino (five-cell U) and the Z/S-tetromino (skew four). Rotations and reflections of both are allowed.
What is the safest opening for Sand Shape Level 146?
Fill pink on the top-left wing, peach under pink, yellow under peach, then green as the compact centre plus after rejecting the hatched mega-fill — before cyan on the tip.
Does Level 146 use Similarity diamonds?
No. Only Difference triangles appear — every marked join must connect unlike silhouettes.
