Magic Sort Level 27 alternates shell bottles and standard bottles across the board, but the real puzzle is still one split color and one relay lane.

Layout: Shell bottles sit at the edges of both rows, while the colored bottles in the middle and bottom share only a narrow relay route.
Goal: Use that relay route to reunite the first split color and keep the shell edges from stealing it too early.
Opening: Feed the first divided color into the relay bottle before you touch the shell-side bottle that looks easiest to empty.
Danger Zone: If the shell edge gets the relay lane first, the divided color never fully reunites and the middle stays unstable.
Mechanics: The real board rule here: Shell bottles sit at the edges of both rows, while the colored bottles in the middle and bottom share only a narrow relay route. Use that relay route to reunite the first split color and keep the shell edges from stealing it too early.

Most important job: Use that relay route to reunite the first split color and keep the shell edges from stealing it too early.
On the opener: Feed the first divided color into the relay bottle before you touch the shell-side bottle that looks easiest to empty.
The usual mistake: Giving the relay bottle to a shell-edge move before the split color is solved.

Feed the first divided color into the relay bottle before you touch the shell-side bottle that looks easiest to empty.
After the split color is finished, clear the relay bottle and let the shell-side crossover happen only once the lane is free again.
Use your next move to reinforce the same plan: Use that relay route to reunite the first split color and keep the shell edges from stealing it too early.
The endgame stays clean if you avoid this: Giving the relay bottle to a shell-edge move before the split color is solved.
