Magic Sort Level 222 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 222 is a vault-heavy board on a 6×2 grid with no spare flask — the only way to gain space is to pop the four white corner vaults and the pink edge vault using the right color poured on top. Split the two yellow-blue mixers first to free a clean blue (for the blue-tagged vault) and a clean yellow, then stage orange from a dark mystery mixer's exposed top to pop the three orange-tagged vaults. Sort the remaining lanes so all ten bottles finish on a single color.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 222 — Full Solution
- Pour the blue top of the top-right yellow-blue mixer onto the top-left blue-tagged vault to pop the cork and release the hidden blue lane.
- Pour the yellow top of the second yellow-blue mixer into the now-empty popped vault to build a clean yellow lane in the top row.
- Use the freed blue slot and the yellow slot as working buffers, and start peeling the four dark mystery mixers from the top, sending each exposed color onto a matching lane or buffer.
- Identify an exposed orange top on one of the dark mystery mixers and pour it onto the first orange-tagged vault (top-left position 2) to pop the cork, then pour the released color onto its matching lane.
- Use the newly cleared buffer to keep feeding orange from the remaining dark mystery mixers, popping the second and third orange-tagged vaults (bottom-right positions 5 and 6) one at a time.
- Pop the pink edge vault with its matching pink color, then merge the leftover lanes (red, gray, purple, green, cyan, brown) into their own bottles by routing tops onto matches.
- Top off every bottle so all ten finish on a single color, leaving the two yellow-blue mixer bottles fully drained as the final empties.
Colors in this level:
Red, Pink, Orange, Gray, Purple, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Brown, Blue
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring a yellow-blue mixer into a non-matching top, which burns the only color that pops the blue-tagged vault.
- Popping the three orange-tagged vaults one at a time before you have staged orange on a single bottle.
- Pouring onto a dark mystery mixer's "?" half on a guess, which traps two colors behind an unknown cork.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 222 (spoiler-free)
- Split the two yellow-blue mixers into a clean blue and a clean yellow as your first two moves.
- Save the blue for the top-left blue-tagged vault — that pop is the only way to open your first buffer.
- Stage orange on a single bottle before feeding the three orange-tagged vaults one at a time.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Two-tier board with 6×2 = 12 bottles and zero starting empties. The four corner bottles are corked white vaults — two in the top-left (one blue-tagged, one orange-tagged) and two in the bottom-right (both orange-tagged). The bottom-left is a corked pink vault. The four middle columns hold dark "mystery" 2-color mixers whose top color is visible but whose bottom color is sealed behind a "?" marker. The two top-right bottles are plain yellow-on-blue mixers. Dominant starting colors are yellow, blue, the orange and pink tags on the vaults, and the dark mystery mixers' exposed tops.
- Goal
- Pop all five corked vaults (four white + one pink) using matching color poured from above, while sorting the four dark mystery mixers and the two yellow-blue mixers. The first unlock is the top-left blue-tagged vault — that pop is the only way to open the first buffer on a board that started with zero empties.
- Opening
- Split the two yellow-blue mixers: pour the blue top of the first onto the top-left blue-tagged vault to pop the cork, then pour the yellow top of the second into the now-empty popped vault to build a clean yellow lane. Use the freed slots to start peeling the dark mystery mixers from the top, routing each exposed color onto a matching lane or buffer.
- Danger Zone
- Pouring a yellow-blue mixer into a non-matching top burns the only color that pops the blue-tagged vault, and the three orange-tagged vaults all need orange staged on a single bottle before they can be popped one at a time. Never pour onto a dark mystery mixer's "?" half on a guess — the bottom color is unknown and you can trap two colors behind the cork.
- Mechanics
- A multi-vault board with five corked vaults (one blue-tagged, three orange-tagged, one pink) on a 12-bottle layout that starts with zero empties, paired with four dark mystery mixers whose hidden bottom color must be discovered. Every corked bottle is both a goal and a tool — each pop releases a hidden color and gives the player one extra buffer to work with.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you start Magic Sort Level 222 with zero starting empties?
Pour the blue top of the top-right yellow-blue mixer onto the top-left blue-tagged vault to pop the cork. That pop is the only way to open a buffer on a board that started with no spare flask.
Why is the orange-tagged vault chain the real bottleneck in Level 222?
All three orange-tagged vaults need orange poured on top to pop, so the player must stage orange on a single bottle before feeding the chain. Burning orange early on a non-matching top will leave the three vaults sealed and the rest of the dark mystery mixers impossible to drain.
