Magic Sort Level 181 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 181 layers a locked wooden drawer and two red knit-wraps over a row of mixed potions. Clear the open top bottles into the near-empty buffer to free a lane, claim the key so the drawer releases its blue bottle, then peel each wrap into a matching stack.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 181 — Full Solution
- Pour matching top colors among the five open top bottles into the near-empty buffer until one of them empties out.
- Use that freed bottle to keep gathering loose colors so at least one clean single-color stack exists before you unlock anything.
- Claim the key from the middle row so the wooden drawer opens, then pour the released blue bottle straight into the reserved blue lane.
- Peel the left knit-wrap once its color matches an existing stack and empty its segments onto that stack.
- Peel the right knit-wrap the same way, pouring its reveal into the lane that already holds that color.
- Route the last loose colors — orange, brown, pink and green — each into its own bottle to finish.
Colors in this level:
Blue, Pink, Orange, Green, Brown, Red, Yellow, Purple, Cyan, Black
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Peeling the knit-wraps before the drawer opens, which leaves the released blue bottle with nowhere to pour.
- Filling your last empty bottle instead of saving it for an unlock, which freezes the board.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 181 (spoiler-free)
- Sort the open top bottles into the near-empty buffer before touching any wrap.
- Keep one bottle reserved for the blue that drops out of the drawer.
- Peel a wrap only when its color already has a matching stack.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Three tiers. The top row is five open bottles of mixed potions, one of them nearly empty and the board's only free buffer. The middle row pairs two red knit-wrapped bottles with the level's key token between them. The bottom tier is a sealed wooden drawer holding one trapped blue bottle.
- Goal
- Free the key so the bottom drawer opens and the blue bottle joins play, peel both middle knit-wraps, and consolidate every potion until each bottle holds a single color.
- Opening
- Leave the wraps alone at first. Pour matching tops among the five open bottles into the near-empty buffer until one bottle empties, so a clean lane is ready before anything unlocks.
- Danger Zone
- The trapped blue bottle is the squeeze point. Spend every open bottle on the two wraps before the drawer opens and the released blue has no matching lane, which deadlocks the board. Keep one bottle reserved for blue.
- Mechanics
- A key-and-drawer lock stacked on top of two knit-wrap covers. The wraps only peel once their color has a home and the drawer only opens after the key is claimed, so progress is paced by how much open space you build early.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should you do first in Magic Sort Level 181?
Sort the five open top bottles into the near-empty buffer first. Building a clean lane before you claim the key or peel a wrap is what keeps the released colors from stranding.
Why does the drawer's blue bottle cause trouble in Level 181?
The blue bottle drops into play with no stack of its own, so if every other bottle is already full or committed it has no legal pour and the level deadlocks. Reserve a lane for it.
