Magic Sort level guide
Magic Sort Level 220 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 220 is a wrap-and-lock board on a 6x2 grid with only two starting empties. Three cream-cloth wrapped Cork bottles on the top row plus one orange-capped wrapped Cork on the bottom row hide four single colors, and three dark "?" Locked bottles on the bottom row guard the rest of the palette. Pop the top-col 5 wrapped Cork first to release the hidden purple into the top-col 4 empty, drain the blue-red and purple-red mixes, then pop the remaining three Corks and unlock the three Locked bottles one at a time so all twelve bottles finish on a single color.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 220 — Full Solution
- Pop the top-col 5 wrapped Cork bottle so the hidden purple pours into the top-col 4 empty glass to start the purple stack.
- Pour the red top off the top-col 6 purple-red mix into the freed top-col 5 slot, then pour the now-exposed purple off top-col 6 onto the purple stack in top-col 4.
- Pour the red off the small top-col 2 blue-red mix onto the red stack in top-col 5, then pour the blue off top-col 2 down to the bottom-col 2 empty to seed the blue stack.
- Pour the orange cap off the bottom-col 1 wrapped Cork bottle into the bottom-col 2 blue buffer to start an orange lane, then pour the hidden yellow that surfaces from bottom-col 1 onto the orange lane so orange finishes on top.
- Pop the top-col 1 wrapped Cork with its matching pink poured in from the side to release the pink lane into top-col 1.
- Pour the brown top off the bottom-col 3 Locked bottle onto the unlocked slot, then keep feeding brown into it until the "?" seal breaks and bottom-col 3 finishes as a single-color brown lane.
- Pop the top-col 3 wrapped Cork to release cyan into top-col 3, then pour the red top off the bottom-col 5 Locked bottle onto the red stack in top-col 5 and let the red "?" seal break.
- Pour the cap color off the bottom-col 6 Locked bottle onto its own lane to break the last "?" seal, then top off pink, purple, red, blue, orange, yellow, green, brown and cyan so all twelve bottles end on a single color.
Colors in this level:
Purple, Red, Blue, Orange, Yellow, Pink, Brown, Cyan, Green
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring any color into one of the three dark "?" Locked bottles before the matching color is staged, which traps the poured segment and burns the only color that can break the seal.
- Skipping the purple-to-purple pour from top-col 6 onto the top-col 4 purple stack, which strands the purple segment under the red and leaves no other bottle on the board to receive it on top.
- Pouring the orange cap off the bottom-col 1 wrapped Cork into an empty that already holds a different color, which strands the hidden yellow that surfaces from the wrap under the orange and costs a buffer slot at the moment the brown Locked pop needs it.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 220 (spoiler-free)
- Pop the top-col 5 wrapped Cork first so its hidden purple lands in the top-col 4 empty and gives you both a purple stack and a freed slot.
- Save brown for the bottom-col 3 Locked bottle, red for the bottom-col 5 Locked bottle, and the cap color for the bottom-col 6 Locked bottle — pop them one at a time only after a matching color is staged on a clean lane.
- Use the small top-col 2 blue-red mix as your first blue source — pour red off onto the red stack, then drop the blue into the bottom-col 2 empty to seed the blue lane.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Two tiers, twelve bottles total (6+6 grid). The top row is three cream-cloth wrapped Cork bottles at columns 1, 3 and 5, a small blue-red 2-color mix at column 2, an empty glass at column 4, and a purple-red 2-color mix at column 6. The bottom row is one cream-cloth wrapped Cork bottle at column 1 with an orange cap on top, an empty glass at column 2, three dark "?" Locked bottles at columns 3, 5 and 6, and a single-color green bottle at column 4. Two starting empties — top-col 4 and bottom-col 2.
- Goal
- Pop all four wrapped Cork bottles and unlock all three dark "?" Locked bottles to release every hidden color onto the board, then sort every revealed segment so all twelve bottles end on a single color. The first unlock is the top-col 5 wrapped Cork — its hidden purple segment becomes the board's first working purple stack the moment it lands in the top-col 4 empty.
- Opening
- Pop the top-col 5 wrapped Cork so the hidden purple pours into the top-col 4 empty. Pour the red top off the top-col 6 purple-red mix into the freed top-col 5 slot, then pour the now-exposed purple off top-col 6 onto the purple stack in top-col 4. Pour the red off the small top-col 2 blue-red mix onto the red stack in top-col 5, then pour the blue off top-col 2 down to the bottom-col 2 empty to seed the blue stack.
- Danger Zone
- The three dark "?" Locked bottles at bottom-col 3, 5 and 6 trap any color poured into them before the matching color breaks the seal, so never treat them as ordinary buffers. The bottom-col 1 wrapped Cork bottle still shows its orange cap on top of the cloth, so do not pour orange into the bottom row until a clean orange stack is ready to catch what falls out of that wrap. The top-col 6 purple-red mix strands its purple the moment you skip the purple-to-purple pour, because no other bottle on the board accepts purple on top.
- Mechanics
- A wrap-and-lock board with four cream-cloth wrapped Cork bottles (top-1, top-3, top-5, bottom-1) that each hide a single color behind the cloth, and three dark "?" Locked bottles (bottom-3, bottom-5, bottom-6) that each need a matching color poured in to break the seal. No magic bottles, no wooden box vaults, no wraps or tunnels — the puzzle is cork timing plus the three mystery lockers.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do the four cream-cloth wrapped Cork bottles open in Magic Sort Level 220?
Tap or pour from the wrapped Cork so the cream cloth drops and the hidden single color joins play. The top-col 5 Cork hides purple, the top-col 1 Cork hides pink, the top-col 3 Cork hides cyan, and the bottom-col 1 Cork hides yellow under its visible orange cap. Pour the orange cap off bottom-col 1 first to seed an orange lane so the hidden yellow that surfaces has a clean stack to land on.
Why are the three dark "?" Locked bottles on the bottom row the real bottleneck in Level 220?
The bottom-col 3, 5 and 6 Locked bottles each need a matching color poured in to break the "?" seal, and they trap any other color poured in before that match arrives. Save brown for bottom-col 3, red for bottom-col 5 and the cap color for bottom-col 6, and pop them one at a time only after a matching color is staged on a clean lane — pop them out of order and the wrong color gets locked behind the seal for the rest of the run.
