Magic Sort Level 187 Walkthrough

expert Target: 48 moves 10 colors

Magic Sort Level 187 buries nine bottles under red knit-wraps with only two buffers to work with. Sort the open bottom mixers first to build lanes, then peel the wraps one at a time, recovering an empty after each so the long peel chain never stalls.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 187 — Full Solution

  1. Sort the open red and orange bottom mixers onto matching tops and into the two near-empty buffers to free a bottle.
  2. Build a clean stack for one early color so the matching wrap has a destination.
  3. Peel that wrap, empty its reveal onto the stack, and recover the freed bottle as a buffer.
  4. Work the five top wraps this way, always preparing a lane and keeping an empty before the next peel.
  5. Peel the four middle wraps once the top row has opened up enough room.
  6. Route the leftover red and orange into their own bottles so every stack holds one color.

Colors in this level:

Yellow, Red, Orange, Pink, Blue, Green, Purple, Cyan, Brown, Black

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Peeling a wrap before a matching lane exists, which strands its reveal and stalls the chain.
  • Filling both buffers with stray colors instead of opening real single-color stacks first.

Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 187 (spoiler-free)

  • Sort the open bottom mixers into the two buffers before peeling anything.
  • Build the matching stack first, then peel the wrap that feeds it.
  • Recover an empty after every peel so the next reveal has a home.
Board notes 5 details
Layout
Three tiers dominated by covers. The top row is five red knit-wrapped bottles. The middle row mixes one open yellow-red-orange bottle with four more knit-wraps. The bottom row holds an open red mixer, an open orange mixer, and two near-empty buffer bottles.
Goal
Peel all nine knit-wraps and consolidate the released colors, working off the two bottom buffers and the few open mixers until every bottle holds one color.
Opening
Start in the bottom row. Sort the open red and orange mixers onto matching tops and into the near-empty buffers so a real lane and a free bottle exist before any wrap comes off.
Danger Zone
Nine covers against two buffers is brutal on space. Peel a wrap with no matching lane and its reveal eats a buffer you needed for the next peel, and the whole chain stalls. Rebuild an empty between peels.
Mechanics
A heavy stacked-wrap board — five on top, four in the middle — with no keys. So little starts open that the level is one long peel chain, each wrap coming off only once the lower rows have built a home for its color.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do you even start Magic Sort Level 187 with nine wraps?

    Start in the bottom row. The wraps cannot be worked directly, so you sort the open red and orange mixers into the two buffers first to manufacture the lanes the wraps need to peel onto.

  • Why does Level 187 stall so easily?

    There are nine covers but only two buffers, so each peel costs you a lane. If you peel without a ready stack and a spare empty, the reveal jams the board and the chain breaks.
