Magic Sort level guide
Magic Sort Level 223 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 223 is a cork-release board — three cork-sealed wrap bottles sit in the top-row corners and the middle-left, with one four-color mixer (red, blue, purple, cyan) in the top row and three three-color mixers in the middle. Pop the red-tagged middle cork first to free a landing lane, drain the four-color mixer top-first into the two bottom empties, then walk the two unmarked top-row corks open so every released color drops onto a single-color stack.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 223 — Full Solution
- Tap a bottom empty to bank it, then pour the red top off the middle red mixer into the buffer. Pour that red into the middle-left cork to pop it, releasing its hidden color.
- Use the freed cork bottle and the second bottom empty as your two working buffers, then route the bottom-row all-red into the red lane to grow it.
- Peel the orange top off the middle orange mixer into an empty, then peel the now-exposed color underneath onto its own stack. Repeat for the middle green and red mixers.
- Pour the four-color mixer's red and blue tops into their matching stacks, then route the now- exposed purple and cyan underneath into fresh singles.
- Pop the top-left cork by pouring its matching color — observe the first pour to confirm — then pop the top-right cork the same way.
- Route each released color into the bottle that already holds the same color, then top off every bottle so all twelve end on a single color.
Colors in this level:
Red, Blue, Purple, Cyan, Orange, Green, Grey, Yellow, Pink, Brown
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring a wrong color into a buffer you meant to use for a later cork pop, which locks that buffer and forces you to drain a third bottle into the mixers.
- Trying to drain the four-color mixer before the red lane exists, which buries the four-color mixer's red and blue tops inside empties that cannot accept them.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 223 (spoiler-free)
- Pop the red-tagged middle cork first because it is the only cork with a visible trigger color.
- Bank the two bottom empties early and never let either hold two different colors before the unmarked corks are popped.
- Drain the four-color mixer top-first so its red and blue go straight onto lanes you have already built.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Three tiers and twelve bottles, no locks or magic, but with three cork-sealed wrap bottles in the corners — top-left, top-right, and middle-left. The top row also holds a blue single, a red single, and a four-color mixer (red on top, then blue, purple, cyan). The middle row holds the red-tagged cork, three three-color mixers (orange, green, and red on top) and a full red bottle. The bottom row is two empty buffers.
- Goal
- Pop all three corks and drain the four-color mixer without running out of buffer space. Each cork release adds a new single color that still needs its own landing lane, so the real chokepoint is sequencing the three cork pops around the four-color mixer.
- Opening
- Tap a bottom empty to bank it, then pour the red top off the middle red mixer into the buffer to start a red lane. Pour that red into the middle-left cork to pop it, then use the freed cork bottle and the second bottom empty as your two working buffers.
- Danger Zone
- The two top-row corks carry no visible color marker on their caps, so their trigger color only reveals itself after the first pour. Pour any color into a buffer you plan to use for a later cork and you lock that buffer at the worst possible moment — the four-color mixer still has two colors to give, and both unmarked corks each expect a specific lane to exist.
- Mechanics
- A pure cork-release board on a tidy 12-bottle grid, with one four-color mixer and three three-color mixers feeding the trigger lanes. The whole puzzle is sequencing — the four-color mixer is the only natural source of two trigger colors, and the released colors need somewhere to land before the mixer is fully drained.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you start Magic Sort Level 223 with three corks on the board?
Pop the red-tagged middle cork first by routing red from the middle red mixer into the buffer and then into the cork. That pop both frees a landing lane and gives you a real red stack to pour the four-color mixer's reds onto.
Why are the two top-row corks in Level 223 harder to read?
They have no color marker on their caps, so you only learn their trigger color after the first pour. Wait until the middle red mixer and the four-color mixer have given you a clear trigger color, then pop them in turn.
