Magic Sort Level 204 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 204 is a release-and-route board with two cork-tagged bottles on the top row, a four-color yellow-blue-pink-yellow bottle, and a five-color rainbow bottle on the bottom right. Peel the rainbow into single-color buffers from the top down, then use those buffers as landing lanes for the cork releases.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 204 — Full Solution
- Pour the blue top off the rainbow bottle into the top-row empty buffer to bank a clean blue.
- Peel the rainbow one segment at a time — cyan onto the blue buffer, green onto the cyan stack, red onto the green stack, yellow onto the red stack — until the rainbow is empty.
- Peel the four-color yellow-blue-pink-yellow bottle from the top down in the same way, building yellow, blue and pink lanes.
- Earn the top-row cork bottles' colors in their matching lanes, then release the corks so each released bottle drops onto its matching partial stack.
- Top off purple, green, blue, cyan, red, yellow, pink, brown and orange so all ten bottles end on one color.
Colors in this level:
Purple, Green, Blue, Cyan, Red, Yellow, Pink, Brown, Orange
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring any color from the rainbow onto a non-matching stack, which strands that color and forces a backtrack.
- Triggering a cork release before its matching lane is ready, so the released bottle lands on a mismatched top and locks.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 204 (spoiler-free)
- Build the rainbow's lanes in order: blue, cyan, green, red, yellow.
- Earn the cork bottles' colors in those lanes before triggering either release.
- Keep each new stack single-color and clear it onto a real stack before reusing the slot.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A two-tier board of ten bottles. The top row holds five mixers — purple-dark, dark, green-dark, pink-dark, and a tagged empty buffer with the cork/wooden marker on it. The bottom row holds a near-empty orange-dark, a dark-empty, a dark-empty, a four-color yellow-blue-pink-yellow, and a five-color rainbow bottle (blue, cyan, green, red, yellow). Two effective empties to start.
- Goal
- Earn each cork bottle's color in its matching lane, release both corks so each released bottle drops onto its prepared partial stack, and finish with a clean top-off. The five-color rainbow is the long bottleneck.
- Opening
- Pour the blue top off the rainbow bottle into the top-row empty buffer to bank a clean blue. Then peel cyan onto the blue buffer, green onto the cyan stack, red onto the green stack, yellow onto the red stack — rainbow one segment at a time.
- Danger Zone
- Pouring any color from the rainbow onto a non-matching stack strands that color. The tagged cork bottles are one-shot releases — if you earn their color in the wrong slot, the release lands on a mismatched top and locks.
- Mechanics
- A release-and-route board dominated by two large mixers and two cork-tagged release bottles. The puzzle is peeling the rainbow into single-color buffers from the top down, then using those buffers as landing lanes for the cork releases.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you handle the five-color rainbow in Magic Sort Level 204?
Peel it one segment at a time. Pour blue into the top-row empty buffer, then cyan onto blue, green onto cyan, red onto green, yellow onto red. Each segment lands on its own color's lane and the rainbow empties without backtracking.
When should you trigger the cork releases in Level 204?
After the rainbow's color lanes exist. Earn the cork bottle's color in its matching lane first, then trigger the release so the released bottle drops onto a prepared partial stack.
