Magic Sort level guide
Magic Sort Level 178 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 178 wraps four bottles in knit covers and leaves the board with zero natural empties. Peel the wraps in left-to-right order, route every released segment onto a real lane, and let the freed top slots become the spare space the row needs.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 178 — Full Solution
- Unwrap the top-left knit to reveal the red bottle, then pour its red segments into the bottom red stack to free a top slot.
- Unwrap the top-right knit to reveal a second purple bottle, and pour one purple segment onto the existing top purple stack to keep them balanced.
- Unwrap the bottom-left knit to expose the pink bottle, then pour its pink segments into a new top lane to start the pink stack.
- Unwrap the deepest knit (between the two purple stacks) to expose the last hidden color, and pour its segment into the new top lane.
- Pour one green segment and one orange segment into a fresh bottom slot to keep the top row from collapsing.
- Use the freed top slot to start building the cyan, orange, and brown stacks one at a time.
- Finish blue, red, yellow, green, orange, cyan, purple, pink, and brown once every wrap is peeled and the row has its spare space.
Colors in this level:
Red, Black, Purple, Pink, Yellow, Green, Orange, Cyan, Blue, Brown
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Opening the deepest knit before the top row has 2 free slots, which strands two stacks in one lane.
- Pouring the bottom red full bottle into the top row before any wrap is open, which fills the only top slot.
- Mixing two different colors in the new top lane, which freezes the row before the deepest wrap can be opened.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 178 (spoiler-free)
- Unwrap the top-left red knit first so the top row gains its first free slot.
- Save the deepest knit (between the two purple stacks) for last.
- Pour the bottom red, yellow, green, and orange full bottles into a single fresh top lane to free the bottom row.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Top row has 5 slots — a knit-wrap bottle hiding a red segment on the far left, a full black bottle, a full purple bottle, a second knit-wrap bottle hiding a purple segment, and a third knit-wrap bottle. Bottom row has 5 slots — a knit wrap hiding pink, then red (full), yellow (full), green (full), and orange (full).
- Goal
- Unwrap all four knit-wrap bottles to expose the hidden red, purple, pink, and final hidden color, then merge every color into a clean stack across both rows.
- Opening
- Unwrap the top-left knit to reveal the red bottle, then pour its red segments into the bottom red stack to free a top slot.
- Danger Zone
- Opening the deepest knit (the one between the two purple stacks) before the top row has 2 free slots flattens two stacks into one lane. The deepest wrap is the only wrap that requires multiple top slots to be open.
- Mechanics
- Four knit-wrap bottles with no natural empties on either row. The wraps must be peeled in left-to-right order so the freed segments always have somewhere to land.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many knit-wrap bottles are in Level 178?
There are four knit-wrap bottles — one on the top-left hiding red, one on the top-right hiding purple, one on the bottom-left hiding pink, and one between the two purple stacks hiding a fourth color.
Why does the deepest knit require multiple open slots?
The deepest knit is the only one that releases a segment which has to land in a lane that is already accepting a different color. The top row needs 2 free slots before that wrap can be opened safely.
