Magic Sort Level 235 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 235 is a single-cork opener on a 15-bottle board. Pop the corked middle 3 bottle to release brown, then use the three empty bottom bottles as the only workshop to merge the duplicate greens, the duplicate reds and the purple-pink stack in middle 1.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 235 — Full Solution
- Pour the purple top of middle 1 onto the corked middle 3 to pop the cork and release brown.
- Pour the exposed pink from middle 1 into bottom 2 to start the pink lane.
- Merge the three partial greens (top 1, top 2, top 5) into one bottle, freeing two top slots.
- Merge the three partial reds (top 3, middle 2, middle 4) into one bottle, freeing the middle 4 slot.
- Route yellow from top 4 onto its matching top and pour blue from bottom 1 into its own bottle.
- Pour brown from the released slot into a dedicated bottle and move orange from bottom 5 onto its matching top.
- Use the cleared bottom empties to receive cyan, pink and any remaining loose colors.
- Top off pink, red, yellow, cyan, green, purple, blue, brown and orange each into a single bottle.
Colors in this level:
Green, Red, Yellow, Purple, Pink, Cyan, Blue, Brown, Orange
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring brown or another color into the corked middle 3 before purple is cleared from middle 1.
- Burning a bottom empty on a non-matching color before the cork pops, leaving no slot for brown.
- Mixing two colors in a bottom empty instead of keeping it single-color as a shuttle.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 235 (spoiler-free)
- Pop the corked middle 3 bottle first so brown enters the sort.
- Use the three bottom empties as one-color shuttles until each has a lane.
- Keep every bottle single-color after the cork pops; mixing burns the buffer you need for brown.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Three tiers, fifteen bottles, no magic bottles, no wooden boxes, no wraps. The top row is five partial single-color bottles carrying green, green, red, yellow and green. The middle row is also five partial bottles; middle 1 is a 2-color stack of purple on top of pink, middle 3 is the one corked bottle, and the rest are red, red and cyan. The bottom row has a wood-toned cap on every bottle; only bottom 1 (blue) and bottom 5 (orange) carry a color seed, and bottom 2, 3, 4 start completely empty.
- Goal
- Pop the corked middle 3 bottle to release brown, the ninth color. With brown in play, merge the three duplicate greens, the three duplicate reds and split the purple-pink stack in middle 1 so every color ends in a single bottle. The three bottom empties are the only workspace.
- Opening
- Pour the purple top of middle 1 onto the corked middle 3 to pop the cork and release brown. Pour the now-exposed pink from middle 1 into bottom 2 to start a pink lane. Then merge the three partial greens from the top row and the three partial reds into single bottles.
- Danger Zone
- The cork is the chokepoint — pour onto middle 3 before middle 1 purple is cleared or you waste a buffer you need for brown. The three bottom empties are tight; if you pour a non-matching color into bottom 2 or bottom 3 before the cork opens, you burn the slot that receives brown the moment the cork pops.
- Mechanics
- A single-cork opener on a color-heavy 15-bottle board. The cork is the only special tile, gating the ninth color (brown). After the cork pops, the puzzle is pure routing; three duplicate greens, three duplicate reds, and a 2-color purple-pink stack need to be consolidated using the three bottom empties as the only workshop.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you open the corked bottle in Magic Sort Level 235?
Pour the purple top of middle 1 onto the corked middle 3. That pops the cork and releases brown into the workflow. After that, middle 3 is a normal empty bottle you can reuse.
Why is the cork in middle 3 the bottleneck of Level 235?
It is the only gimmick on the board and it hides the ninth color, brown. Until the cork pops, brown cannot enter the sort, and the three duplicate greens and reds plus the purple-pink stack in middle 1 leave no slack to delay the pop.
