What You're Up Against
Sand Shape Level 167 features an H-shaped grid with a central square hole and multiple triangle nodes along internal lines. These triangles enforce the core rule: adjacent cells on either side of a triangle must be different colors. The Required Shapes panel guides your output, but success hinges entirely on respecting color boundaries at every triangle. The timer starts at 03:15—plenty of time if you move deliberately.
Beating Sand Shape Level 167
- Color the bottom-left 2×1 block red.
- Directly right of it, color a 3×1 block orange—ensuring the triangle node between red and orange is satisfied.
- In the bottom-right corner, color a 2×1 block green, connecting to the orange.
- Tap the single cell second from the right in the bottom row (marked with a triangle node) and make it light blue.
- Drag left from that light blue cell to fill a 2×1 block in the bottom-middle.
- In the bottom-left corner, color a 2×2 L-shaped block purple.
- Above the purple L-shape, color a 2×1 red block linking vertically.
- One row above the bottom-right green block, color a 2×1 yellow block on the right side.
- To the left of yellow, in the top-right quadrant, color a 2×1 dark green block.
- Left of dark green, in the top-middle, place a 2×1 light blue block.
- Below that light blue and adjacent to dark green, color a 2×1 dark blue block.
- Finally, in the top-left corner, color a 2×1 pink block to complete the grid.
Doing It Faster
- Prioritize triangle-adjacent cells first—they lock in critical color transitions early.
- Use large contiguous shapes (like the 3×1 orange or 2×2 purple) to minimize taps and reduce error risk.
- Skip over isolated single cells until their neighboring colors are set—this avoids premature mismatches.
- Keep the H-shape symmetry in mind: corners and arms often mirror logic, speeding up decisions.
Where Players Slip Up
- Ignoring triangle nodes and placing same-color cells across them triggers immediate errors.
- Filling central or narrow corridor sections before securing corner anchors leads to unfillable gaps.
- Overlooking the required 2×1 dimensions for most shapes results in mismatched outputs—even if colors align, size matters.
- Rushing the final pink block without verifying its adjacency to light blue and dark blue causes last-second failures. This walkthrough delivers a reliable Sand Shape Level 167 solution—no guesswork, just precise execution. For more levels, explore our full Sand Shape walkthrough library.
