Magic Sort Level 18 packs more shell bottles around the center, so one clean lower-row bottle has to be built before the decorated side is touched twice.

Board Notes

Layout
The board is wide and colorful, with shell bottles framing a busy middle section and only a short lower row available for recovery.
Goal
Create a standard-bottle anchor in the lower half before the shell-side colors start crossing the center.
Opening
Take the center pour that immediately feeds a standard lower bottle rather than the move that only opens another shell bottle.
Danger Zone
The level clogs when two shell-side reveals are opened before any lower bottle becomes permanent space.
