Magic Sort level guide
Magic Sort Level 208 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 208 is a three-tier locked-and-corked board of fourteen bottles — six "?" locked mixers on the top and middle right, four 4-color mixers across the middle, and four corked empties on the bottom. Pour cyan into the leftmost blue cork first to bank a buffer, unlock the middle M5 box with green, then drain the four 4-color mixers top-down into the remaining corks and lanes until every bottle ends on a single color.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 208 — Full Solution
- Pour the cyan top of the rightmost top-row "?" mixer (T5) into the leftmost blue cork on the bottom to release the blue cork and bank a cyan buffer in the top row.
- Pour the green top of the locked middle M5 into the freed top-row slot to unlock M5 and start a green lane, leaving the rest of the middle ready to drain.
- Peel the top red off the leftmost middle 4-color mixer (red-brown-blue-yellow) into the matching pink cork on the bottom, exposing the brown below for the next move.
- Drain the remaining three 4-color mixers from the top down — route the exposed segment to its matching cyan, blue, or pink cork, or into a single-color lane you have banked.
- Use the released segments from the triggered corks to top off the unlocked portions of the six "?" locked mixers so each one collapses onto a single color.
- Finish by collecting the leftover green, brown, red, yellow, pink, and dark into the remaining "?" mixers so all fourteen bottles end on one color each.
Colors in this level:
Purple, Green, Brown, Cyan, Dark, Red, Blue, Yellow, Orange, Pink
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring a top color from a 4-color mixer onto a non-matching top with no real buffer ready, which strands that color and blocks the next cork trigger.
- Forgetting to unlock the middle M5 box with green — leaving it locked means its hidden content never joins the lanes and the rest of the middle row cannot collapse.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 208 (spoiler-free)
- Tap the rightmost top bottle (cyan) into the blue cork first — that one pour is the only way to bank a real top-row buffer.
- Unlock the middle M5 "?" box with green next so the rest of the middle row has somewhere to drain into.
- Peel the 4-color mixers from the top down, one segment at a time, and route each exposed color to its matching cork before touching the next mixer.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A three-tier board of fourteen bottles, no wraps, magic or vaults. The top row is five "?" locked mixers with small visible top colors — purple, green, brown, dark, cyan. The middle row is four 4-color mixers (red-brown-blue-yellow, purple-red-green-yellow, red-orange-pink-pink, cyan-darkblue-pink-green) plus a fifth "?" locked mixer on the right with a green top. The bottom row is four small corked bottles, all empty, with cork tags in blue, light, cyan and pink. Zero standard empty buffers at the start.
- Goal
- Trigger all four bottom-row corks with their matching color so the hidden segments join the play, unlock the six "?" locked mixers on the top and middle right, and end the board with every bottle on a single color. The bottleneck is having no real buffer until the blue cork is opened with cyan from the rightmost top bottle.
- Opening
- Pour the cyan top off the rightmost top-row "?" mixer (T5) into the leftmost blue cork on the bottom to release the cork and free a top-row buffer. Then pour the green top off the locked middle M5 into that freed top slot to unlock M5 and start a green lane.
- Danger Zone
- Pouring any top color from a 4-color mixer onto a non-matching top with zero real buffers strands that color and locks you out of the corks. The cyan, blue, and pink corks each only open on their exact color — pour the wrong one and you waste a turn without filling the bottle. The locked M5 box on the middle right is also a one-shot — pour green in once to unlock, and the released hidden color is what fills the rest of the middle row.
- Mechanics
- A locked-and-corked board. The six "?" bottles behave as locked mixers that reveal their next color as you drain them, and the four corks on the bottom gate the whole pour order — you cannot sort the middle mixers fully until the corks are triggered and the released colors are absorbed into single-color lanes.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you start Magic Sort Level 208 with no real empty buffer?
Pour the cyan top off the rightmost top-row "?" mixer (T5) into the leftmost blue cork on the bottom. That single pour releases the blue cork and gives you a fresh top-row buffer to work with for the rest of the puzzle.
Why does the locked middle M5 box matter in Level 208?
M5 is the only locked bottle in the middle row, and its green top is what unlocks the rest of the middle. Pour green into M5 first to release its hidden color, then use that released segment to top off the unlocked portions of the other five "?" mixers.
