What You're Up Against
Sand Shape Level 98 features an 'A'-shaped grid with two fixed 'W' symbols and one fixed 'Delta' symbol acting as immovable obstacles. You must place six specific polyominoes—red (3-block L), orange (4-block L), yellow (4-block T), green (4-block irregular), light blue (4-block T), and purple (4-block L)—without rotating any piece. The 3-minute timer starts at 03:00, and the solution demands exact placement to avoid gaps or overlaps.
Beating Sand Shape Level 98
- At 02:59, place the red 3-block L-shape in the bottom-left corner.
- At 02:58, position the orange 4-block L-shape in the bottom-right, adjacent to the lower 'W'.
- At 02:55, place the yellow 4-block T-shape in the upper-left, connecting to the red L and aligning beside the upper 'W'.
- At 02:53, slot the green 4-block irregular shape in the middle-right, snugly surrounding the center gap while touching both the 'Delta' and lower 'W'.
- At 02:51, set the light blue 4-block T-shape in the top-right, above the 'Delta' and next to the upper 'W'.
- At 02:49, drop the purple 4-block L-shape into the remaining top-left spaces to complete the 'A' shape.
Doing It Faster
- Scan the 'A' grid and fixed symbols first—this walkthrough saves time by revealing optimal anchor points early.
- Place pieces in the exact order and timing shown; deviating risks misalignment or wasted seconds.
- Skip rotation attempts—the solution requires all pieces in their default orientation.
Where Players Slip Up
- Forcing a piece into a spot that doesn’t fully align with fixed tiles, causing gaps near the 'Delta' or 'W' symbols.
- Misjudging the green irregular shape’s fit around the center gap—precision here is critical.
- Overlooking the strict placement sequence: skipping or reordering steps breaks the spatial logic of Sand Shape Level 98.
- Rushing the final purple L-shape placement, leaving small unfillable gaps that invalidate the entire solution.
