Sand Loop Level 338 Guide: The Sunset Palm Puzzle

This level features a classic "Sunset Palm" scene. It’s a pixel art piece depicting a dark red palm tree silhouetted against a massive yellow sun and white clouds, sitting above a blue ocean. Unlike the speed-focused levels, Sand Loop Level 338 is a logic puzzle. The difficulty spikes because of the specific bucket types you are dealt: Mystery Buckets (black with question marks) and Loop Buckets (buckets with arrows). You can't just spam taps here; you have to predict what those mystery slots are hiding.

Sand Loop Level 338 Solution: The Pixel Art Breakdown

Before you tap a single bucket, look at the canvas at the top of the screen.

Color Palette Deep Dive: The image is dominated by Yellow (sun/sky) and White (cloud/moon). The foreground is Dark Red (the tree). The bottom requires Blue, Cyan, and Orange for the water and reflection details.
The "Danger Zones": The water section at the very bottom is tricky. It isn't solid blue; it’s a checkered mix of Blue, Cyan, and Orange. If you pour a solid Blue bucket too aggressively, you might paint over the slots meant for the Cyan highlights or Orange reflections.
Fill Order Prediction: You will likely need to establish the massive Yellow/White background first. The Dark Red tree trunk is vertical, meaning it requires a steady trickle of red, not a massive dump. The water complex at the bottom is usually the last thing you finalize.

Tackling the Loop Buckets in Sand Loop Level 338

The specific mechanical obstacle in Sand Loop Level 338 is the heavy use of Loop Buckets.

You will see buckets in the middle rows (Cyan, Yellow, Red, Orange) marked with circular arrows. These are not single-use items. When you place a Loop Bucket on the conveyor, it pours its sand but doesn't disappear immediately if it has charge left, or it might cycle back into your queue.

This creates a traffic jam. If you have 5 slots on your conveyor (which is the max capacity here) and you fill three of them with Loop Buckets that won't go away, you only have 2 slots left to manipulate the rest of the board. You must prioritize clearing the "standard" single-use buckets to keep your flow moving, treating the Loop Buckets as permanent residents on your belt until the color is fully painted.

Sand Loop Level 338 Step-by-Step Walkthrough

This level forces a dependency chain: You cannot reach the crucial water colors at the bottom until you clear the mystery and loop buckets stacked on top of them.

1. Clearing the Top Row Mysteries

Your first move is strictly limited to the top row. You have standard White and Yellow buckets, plus two Mystery Buckets.

Tap the White and Yellow buckets first to get the sky started.
Immediately trigger the Mystery Buckets. In Level 338, these often hide secondary colors needed for the background or early tree parts. Do not let them sit there; you need to know their color immediately to plan your next move.
Warning: Do not overfill your conveyor bar here. Keep it at 3/5 capacity so you have room to react if a Mystery Bucket reveals a color you don't need yet (like Blue).

2. Managing the Mid-Game Loop

Once the top layer thins out, the Loop Buckets (Yellow, Cyan, Red) become accessible.

The Yellow Loop Bucket is your MVP. The background requires a massive amount of yellow sand. Get this bucket onto the belt and let it ride. It will do the heavy lifting for the sky.
Be careful with the Red Loop Bucket. The palm tree is thin. If you deploy the Red Loop bucket too early while the Yellow background is still patchy, you might waste red sand or block a slot needed for White. Time the Red pour only when the tree trunk area is clear to accept sand.

3. Solving the Roped Bundles

At the very bottom of the tray, you will see two Roped Bundles:

A Yellow bucket tied to a Dark Red bucket.
A Cyan bucket tied to an Orange bucket (inside a rope loop).

You cannot separate these. When you tap one, you usually pull the constraint or have to clear the blocks above them to free them.

Save these for the final detailing. The Cyan/Orange bundle is specifically for the water reflections. Do not try to force these out until you have cleared the Blue buckets sitting above them.
Once the Blue buckets have established the base water layer, release the Cyan/Orange bundle to fill in the "glimmer" on the waves. If you do this in reverse, the Blue might overwrite your details.
