Quick answer
Leave room for the wooden plank to change its angle. Remove sand around the moving end without trapping it against an untouched wall. A hinged wooden bar spans a curved lower sand opening, with a large red ball at its right edge and a broad unobstructed drop above.

Step-by-step
Locate the red ball and every green creature before cutting. Keep the starting support until the route below is ready.
Leave room for the wooden plank to change its angle. Remove sand around the moving end without trapping it against an untouched wall.
Round the bottom of the turn instead of leaving a sharp corner. A smooth floor helps the ball follow the bend.
Prepare the receiving area before connecting the upper route to the drop. Keep the landing floor aimed toward the remaining targets, and remove the last starting support only when the character can continue onward.
Check the full target route after the last movement, including pockets above the final drop. If a creature remains, identify the earliest turn that missed it and change that local approach on the next attempt.
Tips
- Watch both ends of the wooden piece. Clearing one end while trapping the other can prevent the change of angle shown in the recording.
- Keep a shallow outer wall around the bend. It gives the red character a surface to follow instead of allowing a free fall past the pocket.
- Complete the receiving pocket before releasing the upper support. A large fall is irreversible if the next creature remains above the landing.
Common mistakes
- Opening the final outlet before checking higher target pockets can leave a creature above the character with no route back. Inspect the side entrances before making that irreversible drop.
- Removing several supports in one swipe makes the release order unpredictable. When a moving piece occupies the route, wait for it to settle before changing nearby sand.
Frequently asked questions
What space does the wooden piece need?
A hinged wooden bar spans a curved lower sand opening, with a large red ball at its right edge and a broad unobstructed drop above. A wooden piece may lean into the same entrance the character needs. Compare both ends and the remaining support in the video. Clear a controlled movement area first, then check whether the resulting angle connects to the next pocket.
How do I keep the character in the curved passage?
An abrupt corner can redirect the character away from the next pocket. Keep the bend connected to its receiving floor; when the first attempt misses, adjust the approach angle rather than deepening the entire chamber.
What needs to be ready before I open the drop?
Complete the receiving pocket before releasing the upper support. A large fall is irreversible if the next creature remains above the landing.
