Magic Sort Level 176 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 176 hides two bottles behind locked wooden boxes on the outer top row. Pour purple and yellow hints into the red box to crack it, then crack the blue box to expose a partial blue bottle, and finally merge the rest of the bottom row into clean stacks.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 176 — Full Solution
- Pour one purple segment from the bottom purple bottle (B3) into the red wooden box on the top-left to start the unlock.
- Pour the single yellow segment out of the gray bottle (B2) into the same red box, completing the red box's color requirements.
- Crack the red box to reveal a full purple bottle, then crack the blue box on the top-right to expose a 1-segment blue bottle.
- Empty the bottom red bottle (B1) into the lower purple slot (B3) to keep the top stack stable and free the bottom left.
- Pour one orange segment, one green segment, and one purple segment into the open blue box to begin building it toward a full blue stack.
- Move the gray bottle (B2) out of the bottom row so the lower purple slot (B3) is free to receive pours for sorting.
- Sort pink, purple, blue, gray, yellow, red, orange, and green into their own dedicated lanes once the row has its spare space.
Colors in this level:
Red, Gray, Yellow, Purple, Orange, Green, Blue, Pink, Black
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring the bottom red bottle into the boxes before they are cracked.
- Using the wrong color hint on the blue box, since it only opens with purple and orange hints.
- Touching the gray bottle's yellow segment before the red box is ready, which strands yellow on the floor with no home.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 176 (spoiler-free)
- Pour exactly one purple and one yellow segment into the red box, in that order.
- Wait for the red box to fully crack before touching the blue box.
- Keep the bottom red bottle untouched until the top row has at least one free slot.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Top row has 4 slots — a locked red wooden box on the far left, two full purple bottles in the middle, and a locked blue wooden box on the far right. Bottom row has 5 active bottles — red full, gray with one yellow segment on top, purple full, orange full, and green full.
- Goal
- Unlock the red box to free a full purple bottle, unlock the blue box to free a 1-segment blue bottle, then route every color from the bottom row into its own clean stack.
- Opening
- Pour one purple segment from the bottom purple bottle into the red box, then pour the single yellow segment from the gray bottle into the same red box to satisfy its unlock.
- Danger Zone
- Pouring the red full bottle into the boxes before the bottom row has a free column strands red at the top with nowhere to pour back down. Keep the bottom red bottle stable until the boxes are cracked.
- Mechanics
- Two locked wooden boxes with different unlock colors. The red box needs purple and yellow hints, the blue box needs purple and orange hints, and each cracked box reveals a complete bottle that reuses the same outer slot.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the two wooden boxes hide in Level 176?
The red wooden box hides a full purple bottle and the blue wooden box hides a 1-segment blue bottle, but each box must receive specific color hints before it will crack.
Why is the yellow segment so important in Level 176?
The single yellow segment sitting on top of the gray bottle is the second color hint the red box needs. Removing it from the gray bottle too early strands yellow with nowhere to land.
