Magic Sort Level 202 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 202 is a pure sort board of ten bottles with two starting empties. Merge the duplicate reds and yellows into single lanes first, then drain the orange-yellow-red and orange-green-purple mixers from the top down until every bottle holds one color.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 202 — Full Solution
- Pour the bottom red onto the top red bottle to merge the pair and free one slot as a buffer.
- Pour the top yellow-red bottle's yellow onto the bottom yellow bottle to merge the yellows.
- Use the freed slots to peel the orange top off the orange-yellow-red mixer onto the orange top of the orange-green-purple bottle.
- Route the now-exposed red onto the red lane, then peel the green from the orange-green-purple bottle into a clean buffer.
- Top off yellow, red, blue, orange, green, purple, pink and brown so all ten bottles end on one color.
Colors in this level:
Red, Yellow, Orange, Green, Purple, Blue, Pink, Brown
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring the orange top of orange-yellow-red onto a non-orange stack, which buries it.
- Skipping the red merge first, leaving you with one fewer buffer when the three-color mixers start peeling.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 202 (spoiler-free)
- Collapse the duplicate reds and yellows into single lanes first; that is your first buffer.
- The orange top of orange-yellow-red must land on orange-green-purple's orange.
- Only the top segment moves, so peel each three-color bottle from the top down.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A two-tier board of ten bottles with no locks, wraps, boxes, corks or magic. The top row carries two empties flanking a clean red, an orange-yellow-red mixer and a yellow-red mixer. The bottom row holds one empty, a red mixer, an orange-green-purple mixer, a yellow mixer and a final empty buffer.
- Goal
- Plan the duplicate-color merges before peeling the two large three-color mixers. Every bottle ends on one color; the chokepoint is the orange-yellow-red bottle whose orange must dock on the orange-green-purple bottle's orange.
- Opening
- Pour the bottom red onto the top red bottle to merge the pair and free one slot as a buffer. Then pour the top yellow-red bottle's yellow onto the bottom yellow bottle to merge the yellows.
- Danger Zone
- Pouring any top color onto a mismatched stack with only two starting empties strands that color. The orange-yellow-red bottle's orange must land on the orange-green-purple bottle's orange before you peel its red, or the red is buried.
- Mechanics
- A pure sort board where the duplicate reds and yellows are the planning constraint. The puzzle rewards merging same-color fragments into single lanes first, then peeling the large three-color mixers from the top down into those lanes.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you start Magic Sort Level 202 with only two empties?
Pour the bottom red onto the top red to merge the duplicate pair into a single red lane. That single move hands you one extra buffer to spend on the two three-color mixers.
Why merge the yellows before peeling the orange-yellow-red mixer in Level 202?
Once the yellows share one bottle, the yellow-red mixer becomes a two-color bottle that splits cleanly, freeing a buffer the moment you need it for the deeper orange and red.
