Magic Sort level guide
Magic Sort Level 205 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 205 is a three-tier cork-release board of twelve bottles with two cork tags — one on the cyan-red mixer in the top row, one on the blue in the middle row. Bank a cyan buffer from the top cork, then pour its red out, then let the middle cork's blue release land on a prepared lane.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 205 — Full Solution
- Pour the cyan top off the top-row cyan-red cork bottle into the top-row empty buffer to isolate the cyan.
- Pour the cyan onto the orange-cyan bottle to start a cyan lane, freeing the buffer for the now-exposed red.
- Drain the red onto a red lane, or use the buffer to bank one, then earn blue in the middle row by clearing the middle empties.
- Pour blue into the middle cork bottle to release its hidden color onto a prepared lane.
- Peel the bottom-row brown-empty, yellow-empty and green-empty mixers from the top down into their own single-color buffers.
- Top off orange, cyan, red, blue, green, yellow, brown, pink, purple and gray so all twelve bottles end on one color.
Colors in this level:
Orange, Cyan, Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Brown, Purple, Pink, Gray
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring the wrong color into a cork bottle, which locks the cork and wastes a buffer.
- Skipping the cyan-to-cyan lane merge, leaving the cyan isolated in a buffer while orange drifts elsewhere.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 205 (spoiler-free)
- Bank cyan and blue first — those are the two cork keys.
- Pour cyan onto the orange-cyan bottle to start a cyan lane, not onto a clean buffer.
- Peel the bottom-row near-empty mixers from the top down into single-color buffers last.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A three-tier board of twelve bottles. The top row holds four bottles — orange-cyan, an empty, a cyan-red mixer with a cork/wooden tag, and an empty buffer. The middle row holds four bottles — green-yellow, an empty, an empty, and a blue with a cork/wooden tag. The bottom row holds four bottles — brown-empty, yellow-empty, green-empty and purple-pink. Five effective empties to start.
- Goal
- Plan the cyan and blue pour order around the two corks. Bank a cyan buffer from the top cork, peel the now-exposed red into a clean buffer, then earn blue in the middle row and let the middle cork's release land on a prepared lane.
- Opening
- Pour the cyan top off the top-row cyan-red cork bottle into the top-row empty buffer to isolate the cyan. Pour the cyan onto the orange-cyan bottle to start a cyan lane, freeing the buffer for the now-exposed red.
- Danger Zone
- Pouring the wrong color into a cork bottle locks it — the cork only opens on its matching color, so any other pour wastes a move. The two near-empty mixers in the bottom row (brown-empty, yellow-empty, green-empty) are deceptively easy to misroute.
- Mechanics
- A three-tier cork-release board. The puzzle is planning the cyan and red pour order — cyan first to bank a buffer, then red exposed from the cork, then blue release on the middle row, with the bottom-row mixers absorbing the leftover colors.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you open the cyan-red cork in Magic Sort Level 205?
Pour the cyan top off the cork bottle into a clean buffer, then pour that cyan onto the orange-cyan bottle to start a cyan lane. The cork releases its red once its matching cyan is removed.
Why are the two corks the bottleneck in Level 205?
Each cork only opens on its matching color, and the released bottle has to land on a prepared lane or it locks. Bank cyan and blue first, then trigger the releases when the natural lanes are free.
