How to Solve Magic Sort Level 186 — Full Solution
- Find two bottles whose top colors already match and merge them to open the first bit of space.
- Keep merging matching tops, steering toward completing the color that frees the drawer's key.
- Open the drawer once its color is earned, and treat the opened slot as your main buffer.
- Empty each mixed bottle from the top down, pouring every exposed color onto its matching stack or into the buffer.
- Keep one bottle rotating as an empty so no color gets stranded mid-pour.
- Gather each color into its own bottle to finish.
Colors in this level:
Pink, Red, Blue, Yellow, Orange, Purple, Brown, Gray, Green, Cyan
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring a top color onto a mismatched top while space is tight, which buries a color for good.
- Leaving the drawer locked too long, so the mixed rows run out of room before they can sort.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 186 (spoiler-free)
- Merge two matching tops first to scrape out the very first bit of space.
- Open the drawer as early as its color allows, then use it as your main buffer.
- Never pour onto a mismatched top — there is no empty here to undo it.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Three tiers and almost no free space. The top row is five mixed bottles stacking pink, red, blue and yellow in twos and threes. The middle row is five more mixers carrying orange, brown, gray and purple over the same base colors. The bottom tier is a single sealed wooden drawer, the board's only source of spare room.
- Goal
- Earn the drawer's key to open a buffer, then sort all ten mixed bottles until each one holds a single color.
- Opening
- With no open empty, find two bottles whose top colors already match and merge them to free the first sliver of room, then keep merging toward the color that frees the drawer.
- Danger Zone
- Space is razor-thin. Pour a top color onto a mismatched top and you bury a color you needed with no empty to recover it, so every pour before the drawer opens must be a real match.
- Mechanics
- A near-spaceless mixed board gated by one relief valve. Nothing is hidden — the difficulty is purely ten mixed bottles sharing the single working slot the drawer provides.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Magic Sort Level 186 hard if nothing is hidden?
It is a space problem. Ten mixed bottles share one drawer's worth of spare room, so you have to merge matching tops just to open the buffer before any real sorting can begin.
When should you open the drawer in Level 186?
As soon as you have completed its key color. The drawer is your only working slot, so the earlier it opens, the more room you have to untangle the mixed rows.
