Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A six-column by five-row rectangle with a tall central U divider, middle shelf, side posts, and a bottom-left corner gate.
- Goal
- Complete nine different footprints around the U: cyan, sky-blue, green, yellow, pink, orange, blue, purple, and lower-yellow.
- Opening
- The source begins with the cyan left channel, sky-blue upper-left, green upper-middle, and yellow route around the U's top arm before it fills the right and lower regions.
- Danger Zone
- The central U's middle shelf is a hard boundary. Keep orange inside it and reserve the bottom-left gate for blue rather than joining it to cyan.
- Mechanics
- Required Shapes rule card: 'Difference connects different shapes.' Fixed U and post dividers create nine adjacent but distinct routes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the central U important in Sand Shape Level 83?
It is a permanent divider: orange stays inside its pocket while the other colour routes must turn around its arms.
What should fill the lower-left gate in Level 83?
The blue bend uses that gate after the cyan left channel has already stopped above it.
