How to Solve Magic Sort Level 1 — Full Solution
- Pour the exposed yellow into the almost-finished yellow bottle on the right.
- Use the opened space on the center bottle to slide the remaining red layer onto its matching red stack.
- Return any lifted top layer straight away instead of holding it in the middle.
- Stop as soon as yellow and red are both complete; there is no extra cleanup route on this tutorial board.
Colors in this level:
Red, Yellow, Blue
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using the center bottle as parking before the right-side yellow bottle is complete.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 1 (spoiler-free)
- Finish the yellow bottle on the right before you make any sideways parking move.
- Treat the first free lane as a reward for solving yellow, not as a spare tube.
- Once yellow is sealed, the red cleanup is just a single return pour.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- The shared Level 1-4 walkthrough starts with two short mixed bottles on the left and middle, plus a right bottle that is already almost solid yellow.
- Goal
- Cash in that right-side yellow bottle immediately so one permanent lane exists before the leftover red layer has to cross.
- Opening
- Tip the exposed yellow into the right bottle first, then use the freed lip to send the last red layer into its matching stack.
- Danger Zone
- The board only has tutorial-sized space, so parking the first yellow in the wrong bottle forces you to reopen the solve for no reason.
- Mechanics
- This first board teaches the core rule that a nearly finished bottle is more valuable than temporary storage when there are only three active lanes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should you do first in Magic Sort Level 1?
Finish the yellow bottle on the right immediately, because that gives you the only clean lane the board needs.
What usually goes wrong in Magic Sort Level 1?
The solve gets clumsy when the first yellow is parked in the middle instead of locking the ready-made yellow bottle.
