Common Mistakes to Avoid

Quick Tips for Sand Shape Level 12 (spoiler-free)
- Treat the board as a chain of four-cell pieces: top line, center line, two upper squares, two lower squares, and the bottom line.
- The bottom red line belongs on `r8c3`-`r8c6`; do not pull it upward through the stepped opening.
- Think in chain clears. The best move is the one that sets up the next two moves, not just the quickest current match.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- The board fits a 6-column by 8-row coordinate box with stepped side openings and a central wall pocket. The playable cells are `r1c1`-`r1c4`, `r1c6`; `r2c3`-`r3c6`; `r4c1`-`r4c3`, `r4c6`; `r5c1`-`r5c3`, `r5c5`-`r5c6`; and `r6c3`-`r8c6`.
- Goal
- Use four-cell lines and 2x2 squares: red top line `r1c1`-`r1c4`; orange vertical line `r2c3`-`r5c3`; yellow square `r2c4`-`r3c5`; green line `r1c6`-`r4c6`; turquoise square `r4c1`-`r5c2`; purple square `r5c5`-`r6c6`; blue square `r6c3`-`r7c4`; and red bottom line `r8c3`-`r8c6`.
- Opening
- Fill the top red line first, then the central orange line and yellow square before taking the right edge.
- Danger Zone
- The central pocket is not playable space. Keep the orange line in column 3, keep the yellow square in columns 4-5, and do not try to bridge the pocket into the purple square.
- Mechanics
- The Required Shapes card displays a four-cell straight line and a 2x2 square. The video confirms eight accepted regions and the completion board; it does not show a penalty rule.
