Magic Sort level guide
Magic Sort Level 267 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 267 is a two-tier, ten-bottle cork finale that hides its real chokepoint behind five pink-triggered cork bottles in the top row — every cork shares the same pink "?" cap and each hides a different single color (red, brown, orange, orange and yellow). The bottom row has only one empty buffer and four mixed bottles (green/pink/blue, pink/blue, near-empty green, pink/purple), so the entire puzzle is the tension between banking pink to trigger the five corks and spending pink to sort the bottom row. Stack pink first, pop the five corks in order, then drain the released colors so all ten positions end on a single color.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 267 — Full Solution
- Tap the bottom col 5 empty as the only scratch flask. Peel the green top off the bottom col 1 mixer (green/pink/blue) into the bottom col 5 empty to start a green lane, and pour the now-exposed pink from col 1 onto a clean buffer to start the pink lane.
- Pull the pink top off the bottom col 2 mixer (pink/blue) onto the pink buffer to grow the pink lane, then pour the pink top off the bottom col 4 mixer (pink/purple) onto the same pink buffer so all three pink segments stack in a single bottle.
- Use the freed bottom col 1 bottle (now blue only) as a fresh buffer. Pour the blue top off the bottom col 2 mixer onto the blue buffer, then pour the purple top off the bottom col 4 mixer onto a clean buffer to start the purple lane.
- Tap the top col 1 cork (pink trigger), pour the banked pink onto it, and the cork pops to release the hidden red — route that red onto a clean top-row slot to start the red lane.
- Repeat for the top col 2 cork (pink trigger): pour pink onto it, the cork pops to release the hidden brown, and route the brown onto a fresh top-row slot to start the brown lane.
- Pop the top col 3 cork with the next pink segment, the cork releases the hidden orange, and route the orange onto a clean top-row slot to start the orange lane. Pop the top col 4 cork with the next pink segment, the cork releases the second hidden orange, and pour that orange directly onto the orange lane from step 6 to merge into a single full orange.
- Pop the top col 5 cork with the final pink segment, the cork releases the hidden yellow, and route the yellow onto a clean top-row slot to start the yellow lane.
- Top off green, pink, blue, purple, red, brown, orange and yellow so all ten bottles end on a single color with no mixed segments left.
Colors in this level:
Green, Pink, Blue, Purple, Red, Brown, Orange, Yellow
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring a non-pink color into any of the five top-row corks (green, blue or purple onto a pink cap), which seals the cork shut for the rest of the level and burns the move you needed to release that hidden color.
- Peeling pink off the bottom col 1 (green/pink/blue) mixer before green is banked in the bottom col 5 buffer, which strands green on top of pink with no destination and removes the only place to start a clean green lane.
- Pouring the second released orange onto a fresh slot instead of onto the first orange's buffer, which costs you a buffer to a duplicate color and leaves the rest of the puzzle without a place to sort the last released color.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 267 (spoiler-free)
- Stack the pink in a single buffer before you touch any of the five top-row corks — pouring green, blue or purple onto a pink-capped cork seals it shut for the rest of the level, and the only way back is to undo.
- Peel green off the bottom col 1 (green/pink/blue) mixer first, before the pink underneath it gets pulled up, otherwise green is stranded on top of pink with no destination.
- When the two orange corks pop in sequence, pour the second orange directly onto the first orange's buffer to merge into a single full orange — landing it on a fresh slot costs you a buffer to a duplicate color.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A compact two-tier board that resolves to ten bottle positions across five columns, no locks, wraps, boxes or magic bottles. The top row is five tall cork bottles — every one sealed with the same small pink "?" cap on top of a white/light body, so all five share the pink trigger color and each hides a different single color (red, brown, orange, orange and yellow reading left to right). The bottom row carries four mixed bottles and one empty buffer: col 1 is a green-over-pink-over-blue three-stack, col 2 is a pink-over-blue two-stack, col 3 is a near-empty green, col 4 is a pink-over-purple two-stack, and col 5 is the empty scratch flask. Ten slots total, nine working bottles, and the single bottom col 5 empty is the only workshop.
- Goal
- The chokepoint is that all five top-row corks need pink poured in to release their hidden color, but the bottom row only has one empty buffer to bank pink into, and pink has to land in a single full stack before any cork trigger fires. The first unlock is peeling green off the bottom col 1 mixer (green/pink/blue) into the bottom col 5 empty, then stacking the pink from col 1, col 2 and col 4 onto the same buffer so three pink segments sit in a single bottle. After that, each cork trigger spends one pink segment and releases one new color, and the player has to grow the released colors into full singles while the bottom row keeps sorting itself out.
- Opening
- Tap the bottom col 5 empty to claim the only scratch flask. Peel the green top off the bottom col 1 mixer (green/pink/blue) into the bottom col 5 empty to start a green lane, then pour the now-exposed pink from col 1 onto a clean buffer to bank pink. Pull the pink top off the bottom col 2 mixer (pink/blue) onto the pink buffer to grow the pink lane, then pour the pink top off the bottom col 4 mixer (pink/purple) onto the same pink buffer so all three pink segments stack in a single bottle.
- Danger Zone
- Pouring any non-pink color into a top-row cork (green, blue, purple) seals that cork shut and burns a move — each cork only opens on its exact pink trigger, and once sealed inside this level there is no way to undo it. The bottom col 1 (green/pink/blue) mixer is the only place to bank a clean green lane, so peel green off it first before the pink underneath it gets pulled up, otherwise green gets stranded on top of pink with no home. The two orange corks are the second trap: when both pop, the second orange must land directly on the first orange's buffer to merge into a single orange single — if it lands on a fresh slot, you lose a buffer to a duplicate color and the rest of the puzzle has no place to sort the last released color.
- Mechanics
- A five-cork finale where every cork in the top row is pink-triggered and the bottom row has only one empty buffer. Pink is the trigger color, pink is the bank color, and the puzzle is the tension between spending pink to open gates versus banking pink to sort the bottom row. The chokepoint is colour-lane first, cork second — stack pink in the bottom col 5 buffer until it is full, then spend one pink segment per cork to release five new colors, then sort the released colors alongside the remaining bottom row segments.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you open the five pink-trigger corks in Magic Sort Level 267?
Stack pink in a single buffer first by peeling pink off the bottom col 1, col 2 and col 4 mixers one at a time onto the bottom col 5 empty (after green from col 1 has been parked in the same buffer). Then tap each top-row cork in turn and pour one pink segment onto it; the cork pops, the hidden single color (red, brown, orange, orange or yellow) drops onto the cork slot, and you route that release onto a clean top-row buffer. Pouring green, blue or purple onto a pink cap seals the cork shut for the rest of the level.
Why must the two orange corks be popped in sequence and merged in Level 267?
The two orange corks both release orange, so the second released orange must land directly on the first orange's buffer to merge into a single full orange single. If it lands on a fresh slot, you lose a buffer to a duplicate color, the merged orange single never forms, and the rest of the puzzle has no place to sort the last released color. Pour the banked pink onto the top col 3 cork first to start the orange lane, then pour the next pink segment onto the top col 4 cork and route the second orange directly onto the orange lane you just opened.
