Sand Loop Level 293 Guide: The Autumn Forest Puzzle

This level is pure "Fall Vibes," featuring a dense forest of pixelated trees in varying shades of autumn. You're building an Autumn Forest Scene, complete with vibrant red, orange, and green canopies, thin brown trunks, and a distinct white sky background.

Unlike speed levels where you smash ice, Level 293 is a classic Logic Sorting puzzle. There are no keys or locks visible, but the difficulty lies in the sheer density of the color palette and the specific layering required for the tree trunks versus the leaves. You have a 0/5 Slot Capacity, meaning you can only have five active cups on the belt at once. This constraint is tight considering how mixed the supply tray is.

The color palette is specific:

Bright Red (Ground and some foliage)
Mustard Yellow/Orange (Left and Right trees)
Forest Green (Back trees)
Dark Red/Maroon (Tree trunks)
White (Sky background)

Sand Loop Level 293 Solution: Constructing the Trees

Look at the top screen. The artwork dictates your rhythm. Color Palette Deep Dive: The most dangerous part of this level is the Dark Red/Maroon used for the tree trunks. These are thin vertical lines that cut through the foliage. If you pour the foliage colors (Green, Orange, Bright Red) before establishing the trunks, or if you pour the trunks too late over the white background, the pixels will blur and you won't get the sharp definition needed for 100%.

The "Danger Zones":

The Trunks: The thin vertical lines are fragile. A sloppy pour will make them look like blobs.
The Sky: The white background is extensive. It sits behind everything, but in Sand Loop logic, you often fill the background last or in gaps. However, because the trees have gaps between branches, you need to be careful not to accidentally fill a "sky pixel" with a "leaf color."
The Red Floor: The bottom strip is a solid block of bright red. This is your easiest win, but it sits at the bottom of the canvas, meaning it fills first.

Fill Order Prediction: You typically fill from the bottom up.

Red Ground: This is the base.
Trunks & Lower Canopy: You'll need to juggle the Dark Red (trunks) with the starts of the Yellow and Green trees.
Upper Canopy & Sky: The white sky fills the negative space around the tree tops.

Tackling the "Supply Salad" in Sand Loop Level 293

The specific obstacle here isn't a lock or a bomb; it's the Supply Tray Structure. Look at the screenshot bottom. You have two Dark Red Cups immediately available in the center top row, flanked by two Bright Red Cups. Below that, it's a mess.

Row 2: White - Red - Red - White
Row 3: Green - Dark Red - Green - Green - Dark Red - Green
Row 4: White - Red - Orange - Orange - Red - White
Row 5: Red - White - Orange - Orange - White - Red

The Specific Obstacle is the "Central Column Jam." The middle columns are heavy on Orange and Dark Red, while the edges hold the White and Bright Red. You need the Bright Red for the bottom of the picture immediately, but the White cups (needed much later for the sky) are blocking the lower Red and Orange cups.

You are forced to pull cups you don't need yet (like White) just to reach the cups you do need (like the deep Orange).

Sand Loop Level 293 Step-by-Step Walkthrough

This level punishes you for just tapping whatever is available. You need a dependency chain strategy.

1. Establishing the Red Floor

Your first move must address the bottom of the canvas. The entire bottom strip is Bright Red.

Tap the Bright Red cups sitting on the top corners of the supply tray (the ones flanking the dark red cups).
Get these onto the belt immediately. They will paint the solid red ground.
Crucial: Do not tap the Dark Red cups (center top) yet. Those are for trunks, which start above the red ground line. If you pour them first, they might bleed into the floor area.

2. The Trunk and Canopy Mix

Once the red floor is mostly set, the real work begins. You need to start drawing the vertical lines (trunks) and the colored masses (leaves).

Now tap the Dark Red cups (Center Top). These need to pour as the red floor finishes or just after.
While those are moving, look at the second row. You have White cups on the edges. Do not use them yet. They are for the sky. Using them now wastes belt slots (0/5 capacity warning!).
Instead, clear the Red cups in the second row to finish the lower foliage, and try to access the Green and Dark Red cups in the third row. You need to alternate between trunk colors (Dark Red) and leaf colors (Green/Red) to build the trees layer by layer.

3. Digging for Orange

The big yellow/orange trees are prominent on the left and right, but look where the Orange cups are buried: deep in Rows 4 and 5.

You have to clear the Green and Dark Red cups in Row 3 to even see the Orange ones.
This creates a bottleneck. You will likely have to pour Green (for the back trees) before you can fully finish the front Orange trees.
Prioritize clearing the center columns. The center holds the Orange cups needed for the massive yellow tree features. If you ignore the center and clear the edges (White cups), you'll have a belt full of sky color with no trees to put it behind.

4. Filling the Sky (The Cleanup)

By the time you reach the bottom two rows of the supply tray, the trees should be mostly formed.

Now you can unleash the White cups.
You will find White cups on the edges of Row 2, Row 4, and Row 5.
Because the sky is the "background," pouring it last is safe. It will fill in all the gaps between the pixelated leaves.
Warning: Watch your 0/5 count. If you have 4 White cups circling the belt waiting for the top of the canvas, you can't pull the final Red or Orange cup needed to finish a tree tip. Keep 1 slot open always.

Focus on the red floor first, dig out the middle for the tree colors, and save the white edges for the finale. Good luck!
