Magic Sort level guide
Magic Sort Level 247 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 247 is a three-tier vault finale that starts as a narrow three-column board and grows to five columns once the three middle-row "?" caps pop and the wooden box at the top unlocks. Bank green, yellow and blue in the bottom-centre empty in that exact order to crack the vault, then pop the five new top-row caps and route every released color into its own column so all fifteen bottles end on a single color.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 247 — Full Solution
- Pour the green top off the middle col-1 mixer (purple/red/yellow/green) into the bottom-centre empty buffer, then bank that green as the trigger for the left '?' cap. Use the bottom-left dark-green as a scratch flask to receive the yellow top off the middle col-2 mixer.
- Pour the banked green back onto the middle col-1 '?' cap to pop it and release the hidden color underneath. Route that released color into the bottom-centre buffer (now empty again) to start its lane.
- Pour the yellow top off the middle col-2 mixer onto the bottom-left dark-green to bank yellow, then pour that yellow back onto the middle col-2 '?' cap to pop it. Run the released color onto the bottom-centre buffer to merge with its lane.
- Peel the blue top off the middle col-3 mixer (dark/blue/green) into the bottom-centre buffer, then pour that blue back onto the middle col-3 '?' cap to pop it. The moment the third cap pops, the wooden box at the top flies open and two new columns appear on the right with five '?' cap bottles across the new top row.
- Pop the new top-row '?' caps one at a time in any colour order, using the now-empty top-right and bottom-right positions as fresh buffers. Each popped cap drops a hidden color; bank each released color into its own buffer so no two caps share a stack.
- Drain the remaining middle-row mixers (the dark/red stack, the brown/red stack, and any other two- and three-color bottles) top-first into the right-side buffers, peeling dark, red, brown, purple and pink each onto its own single-color stack.
- Clear the bottom row: pour the bottom-centre empty's contents onto its matching top-row color, then top off the bottom-left dark-green and bottom-right orange onto their matching lanes.
- Top off pink, purple, cyan, brown, dark, red, yellow, blue, green and orange so all fifteen bottles end on a single color with no '?' caps, mixed segments or stray buffers left.
Colors in this level:
Green, Orange, Red, Yellow, Blue, Pink, Purple, Cyan, Brown, Dark
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring the wrong color back onto a popped '?' cap, which buries the hidden color and strands the buffer mid-stack with no clean place to dock the next released color.
- Banking anything other than the cap-trigger colors (green, yellow, blue in that order) in the bottom-centre empty, which keeps the wooden box sealed and burns the moves needed to crack the vault.
- Breaking the bottom-left dark-green or bottom-right orange before their matching top-row caps pop, which strands those colors mid-stack and leaves no pour target for the released segments.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 247 (spoiler-free)
- Bank the three cap-trigger colors (green, yellow, blue) in the bottom-centre empty in that exact order; the vault only unlocks after the third middle-row '?' cap pops.
- Never reuse a buffer that already holds a released color or the next popped cap's hidden segment has nowhere to land.
- Keep the bottom-left dark-green and bottom-right orange single-color until their matching top-row caps pop, or you lose a pour target.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A three-tier board that starts three columns wide and grows to five columns wide after the vault opens. The top of the initial board is a triple wooden box with vertical-stripe panels locked together by a single yellow padlock in the centre panel. The middle row holds three tall mixed bottles, each topped with a small '?' cap bottle (the left cap leaks green, the centre cap leaks yellow, the right cap leaks blue). The leftmost middle bottle is the densest mix at four colors (purple, red, yellow and green) and the right two are three-color stacks. The bottom row carries three small bottles: a near-full dark-green on the left, a sealed empty in the middle (small cork plug), and a near-full orange on the right. After the vault opens, two new columns slide in on the right and five '?' cap bottles appear across the new top row, each hiding a different color.
- Goal
- Bank the three cap-trigger colors (green, yellow, blue) in the bottom-centre empty in order, pop the three middle-row '?' caps to crack the wooden box, then pop the five new top-row '?' caps and route every released color onto its own stack. The real chokepoint is cap-first, sort-second: only after all eight caps have popped can the remaining mixed bottles be drained into single-color columns.
- Opening
- Pour the green top off the middle col-1 mixer (purple/red/yellow/green) into the bottom-centre empty buffer to expose that bottle's '?' cap. Use the bottom-left dark-green as a scratch flask and peel the yellow off the middle col-2 mixer onto it. Pop the centre '?' cap with that yellow, then peel the blue off the middle col-3 mixer into the bottom-centre buffer and pour it back to pop the right '?' cap. After the third cap pops, the wooden box at the top cracks open and two new columns of '?' cap bottles slide into view on the right.
- Danger Zone
- Pouring the wrong color back onto a popped '?' cap buries the hidden color and strands the buffer mid-stack. Once a cap pops, the buffer holding the trigger color must stay clean and single-color or the released color has nowhere to land. The bottom-centre empty is the only true overflow while the boxes are still locked; bank anything other than the cap-trigger colors (green, yellow, blue in that order) there and the boxes stay sealed. Never break the bottom-left dark-green or bottom-right orange before their matching top-row caps pop, or you lose a pour target.
- Mechanics
- A wooden-box-then-cap-cascade finale on a board that starts narrow (three columns) and ends wide (five columns). The padlocked top vault hides two extra columns, and the eight '?' caps (three on the middle row, five on the revealed top row) are the only key to opening the level. The chokepoint is cap-first, sort-second: bank the three cap-trigger colors in the bottom-centre buffer in order, pop the middle-row caps to crack the vault, then pop the five top-row caps and route each released color into its own column.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you open the wooden box at the top of Magic Sort Level 247?
Pop the three middle-row '?' caps in order: pour green back onto the left cap, yellow onto the centre cap, blue onto the right cap. Each cap pops when its trigger color is poured back onto it, and the moment the third cap pops, the wooden box at the top flies open and two new columns slide in from the right.
Why must green, yellow and blue be banked in the bottom-centre empty in that exact order in Level 247?
The bottom-centre empty is the only scratch flask while the vault is still locked, and each middle-row '?' cap only pops on its specific trigger color. Banking them out of order (blue first, for example) buries a non-matching color in the empty and seals the boxes shut until you undo and re-bank the right color.
What happens after the wooden box opens in Level 247?
Two new columns slide into view on the right with five '?' cap bottles across the new top row, each hiding a different color. Pop those five caps one at a time, route each released color into its own buffer, then drain the remaining middle-row mixers and top off every bottle so all fifteen end on a single color.
