Magic Sort Level 203 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 203 is a pure sort board of ten bottles with three starting empties. Peel the green-blue and yellow-gray mixers into clean buffers first, then merge the duplicate reds and pinks, and top everything off so all ten bottles end on one color.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 203 — Full Solution
- Tap the bottom empty to free an extra buffer, then pour the green top of the green-blue mixer into a clean buffer to isolate the blue beneath it.
- Pour that blue onto the near-empty blue bottle to form a blue lane, freeing the green-buffer slot.
- Pour the yellow top of the yellow-gray mixer into a clean buffer, leaving the gray isolated in its own bottle.
- Merge the two solid reds by pouring one onto the other, and merge the two pinks the same way.
- Route the held green and yellow onto the now-empty anchor lanes, then top off red, blue, green, yellow, pink, orange, purple and gray so all ten bottles end on one color.
Colors in this level:
Green, Blue, Red, Yellow, Gray, Pink, Orange, Purple
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring yellow onto the yellow's eventual lane before the gray is isolated in its own bottle, which strands the gray.
- Docking the green onto a red or pink stack to "save a move" — that buries the green and you lose the clean-buffer slot.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 203 (spoiler-free)
- Tap the bottom empty first to free the extra buffer.
- Peel green off the green-blue mixer into a buffer, then dock the blue onto the near-empty blue.
- Merge the duplicate reds and pinks once the two mixers are split.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A two-tier board of ten bottles, no locks, wraps, boxes, corks or magic. The top row carries a green-blue mixer, a near-empty blue, a solid red, an empty buffer and a yellow-gray mixer. The bottom row holds a pink single, an empty, a solid red, a pink single and an empty buffer with the tap-to-pour marker.
- Goal
- Use the solid reds and pinks as anchor lanes, peel the two mixers into clean buffers, and finish with a clean top-off. The chokepoint is keeping green and yellow isolated in single buffers until their natural lanes are free.
- Opening
- Tap the bottom empty with the marker to free an extra buffer, then pour the green top of the green-blue mixer into a clean buffer to isolate the blue beneath it. Pour that blue onto the near-empty blue bottle to form a blue lane.
- Danger Zone
- Pouring yellow onto its eventual lane before the gray beneath is isolated strands the gray. The two solid reds and two solid pinks look safe, but pouring onto the wrong solid first buries a clean lane and you lose a buffer.
- Mechanics
- A pure sort board with many small starts (two solid reds, two pinks, two near-singles). The work is peeling the two mixers without losing the singles that anchor the board.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you start Magic Sort Level 203 with three empties?
Tap the bottom empty with the marker to free an extra buffer, then pour the green top of the green-blue mixer into a clean buffer to isolate the blue beneath it. That single buffer becomes the home for green until the natural lane is free.
Why isolate green and yellow into clean buffers first in Level 203?
Once green and yellow each have their own buffer, the two mixers become clean splits. The solid reds and pinks then collapse into single lanes in just a couple of pours.
