Magic Sort level guide
Magic Sort Level 224 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 224 is a two-tier, ten-bottle pinkish-red wooden box vault release board with a row of five 2-color mixers across the top, a large locked vault at middle-col 1, a tilted small green flask and a clear empty flask beside it, and a row of four white magic bottles at the bottom. Pop the vault by pouring pink into the brass padlock, sort the four new 2-color bottles plus the full pink bottle that drop into the middle row, and top off the last mixed segments so all fourteen bottles end on a single color.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 224 — Full Solution
- Pour the pink top off the top-col 1 mixer onto the pink-topped magic bottle at bottom-col 1 to bank a pink buffer, then pour the now-exposed dark pink off the top-col 1 mixer into the clear empty flask at middle-col 3 to start a second pink buffer.
- Pour the pink top off the top-col 3 three-color bottle onto the pink-topped magic bottle at bottom-col 1 to deepen the pink buffer, then pour the now-exposed red off the top-col 3 bottle onto the red-topped magic bottle at bottom-col 3 to start the red buffer.
- Pour the red top off the top-col 4 mixer onto the red-topped magic bottle at bottom-col 3 to deepen the red buffer, then pour the second red now exposed on the top-col 4 bottle onto the red-topped magic bottle at bottom-col 4 to start a second red buffer.
- Pour the consolidated pink from the bottom-col 1 magic bottle into the wooden box vault padlock at middle-col 1 — the vault pops, splits open, and drops four new 2-color bottles (purple-on-brown, orange-on-cyan, orange-on-brown, green-on-dark-green) plus a full pink bottle into the middle row, expanding the board to fourteen bottles.
- Pour the full pink bottle from the new middle-col 5 onto the pink-topped magic bottle at bottom-col 1 to bank the single-color pink source, then pour the green top off the new middle-col 4 green bottle onto the green top row bottle at top-col 2 to finish the green lane.
- Pop the brown hidden bottoms off the purple-on-brown, orange-on-cyan, and orange-on-brown bottles by pouring their colored tops (purple, orange, orange) onto matching single-color lanes, then peel the exposed brown, cyan, and any leftover bottom into the clear empty flask at middle-col 3, which now acts as the brown receiver.
- Use the four white magic bottles and the brown buffer at middle-col 3 as one-color overflow to top off the purple, orange, orange, green, cyan, and pink lanes, then finish the top row's red, blue, and magenta segments.
- Top off red, blue, magenta, green, pink, purple, orange, orange, cyan, brown, and the second magenta so all fourteen bottles end on a single color.
Colors in this level:
Pink, Red, Green, Blue, Magenta, Purple, Orange, Cyan, Brown, Yellow
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring a wrong color (red, green, blue, magenta) into the wooden box vault padlock at middle-col 1, which keeps the box locked and strands the four new 2-color bottles and the full pink bottle that the rest of the puzzle depends on.
- Pouring a second color into one of the four white magic bottles at the bottom, which locks the bottle and burns your only flexible overflow slot just when the brown hidden bottoms need a safe receiver.
- Pouring the brown hidden bottom off one of the new vault bottles into a magic bottle, which poisons the buffer and strands the remaining brown segments on top of the colored tops you have not yet moved.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 224 (spoiler-free)
- Bank pink into the pink-topped magic bottle at bottom-col 1 before touching the wooden box vault, then pour that consolidated pink straight into the brass padlock to pop the lock.
- Pour the pink top off the top-col 3 three-color bottle first to free the buried red onto the red-topped magic bottle at bottom-col 3, so the red lane is ready before the vault opens.
- Reserve the four white magic bottles and the clear empty flask at middle-col 3 for one color at a time — any of them locks the moment a second color lands inside.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A two-tier board of ten bottles (5-2-4) with one pinkish-red wooden box vault, one tilted small green flask, one clear empty flask, and four white magic bottles. The top row is five bottles, all 2-color mixers — a pink-on-dark-pink at col 1, a green-on-dark-green at col 2, a three-color pink-on-red-on-dark-green at col 3 (the only three-stack on the board), a red-on- dark-red at col 4, and a blue-on-dark-blue at col 5. The middle row is the pinkish-red wooden box vault at col 1 (with a golden padlock, taking two column widths), one small green flask on its side at col 2, and one clear empty flask at col 3 — positions 4 and 5 of the middle row are empty. The bottom row is four white magic bottles, one unit each — pink at col 1, blue at col 2, red at col 3, and red at col 4. The board starts with no real single-color source, and the only flexible slots are the four white magic bottles and the one clear empty flask at middle-col 3.
- Goal
- Pop the pinkish-red wooden box vault at middle-col 1 by pouring pink into the brass padlock. The vault opens and releases four new 2-color bottles (purple-on-brown, orange-on- cyan, orange-on-brown, green-on-dark-green) plus a full pink bottle into the middle row, expanding the board from ten to fourteen bottles. Route the four new 2-color mixers onto matching single-color lanes, peel the brown hidden bottoms off the cork-locked bottles into a safe buffer, and top off the last mixed segments so every bottle ends on a single color.
- Opening
- Pour the pink top off the top-col 1 mixer onto the pink-topped magic bottle at bottom- col 1 to bank a pink buffer. Pour the now-exposed dark pink off the top-col 1 mixer into the clear empty flask at middle-col 3 to start a second pink buffer. Pour the pink top off the top-col 3 three-color bottle onto the pink-topped magic bottle at bottom-col 1 to deepen the pink buffer. Pour the consolidated pink from the bottom-col 1 magic bottle into the wooden box vault padlock at middle-col 1 — the box pops, the vault splits open, and four new 2-color bottles plus a full pink bottle drop into the middle row.
- Danger Zone
- The four white magic bottles at the bottom are the only flexible overflow and each one locks the moment a second color lands inside, so once pink is banked in the bottom-col 1 magic bottle the next pour onto it must also be pink or the slot burns. The wooden box vault at middle-col 1 only opens on pink — pour any other color (red, green, blue, magenta) into the brass padlock and the box stays locked for the rest of the run, which strands the four new 2-color mixers and the full pink bottle that the rest of the puzzle depends on. The four new middle-row bottles that drop out of the vault all have a brown hidden bottom under their colored top, so do not pour the brown into a magic bottle or you lose that buffer and poison the only slot that can take brown.
- Mechanics
- A pinkish-red wooden box vault release board on a sparse two-tier frame, with one tilted small green flask beside the vault and four white magic bottles at the bottom. The wooden box vault is the obvious gimmick, but the real test is the four new 2-color mixers plus the full pink bottle that drop from the vault — those are the only source of purple, orange, cyan, and a second green on the board, and the full pink bottle is the only single- color source for the top row. The board starts with zero single-color sources, so the vault is not just a side mechanic but the only path to the colored lanes that make the rest of the board sortable.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you unlock the wooden box vault in Magic Sort Level 224?
The pinkish-red wooden box vault at middle-col 1 only opens when pink is poured into the brass padlock. Bank pink into the pink-topped magic bottle at bottom-col 1 first, then pour that consolidated pink straight into the padlock. Pour a wrong color into the padlock and the vault stays locked for the rest of the run, which strands the four new 2-color bottles and the full pink bottle the rest of the puzzle depends on.
Why are the four white magic bottles at the bottom so important in Level 224?
The board starts with zero single-color sources, so the four white magic bottles are the only flexible overflow on the board. They have to bank pink, red, blue, and the brown hidden bottom in turn — but each one locks the moment a second color lands inside, so they must be used as one-color shuttles only.
