Magic Sort Level 275 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 275 is a three-tier, fifteen-bottle finale that hides its real chokepoint behind four wooden cork boxes (two yellow padlocks, two pink padlocks) and three triple-cork "?" cap bottles on the top row. Bank red/pink and purple in the top-row scratch space, pour yellow and green to pop the four boxes, then crack the remaining "?" caps top-first so all fifteen positions end on a single color.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 275 — Full Solution
- Tap top col 4 and top col 5 as scratch flasks, then peel the red/pink cap off the top-col-1 "?" cap bottle into top col 4 to start a red/pink lane, and peel the purple cap off the top-col-2 "?" cap bottle into top col 5 to start a purple lane. Pour the red/pink cap off the top-col-3 "?" cap bottle onto the red/pink lane in top col 4 to grow that lane full.
- Bank the orange single out of mid col 4 onto the top-col-3 "?" cap bottle so orange matches and the cork pops, then peel the yellow top off the mid-col-1 yellow+green mixer onto the top-col-1 "?" cap bottle so yellow is banked and ready for the mid-col-2 yellow padlock.
- Tap the mid-col-2 yellow-padlock box and pour the banked yellow onto it — the wood cracks and the first hidden color drops onto the mid-col-2 slot. Route that release onto a clean top-row or bottom-row bottle to start its lane.
- Tap the mid-col-3 yellow-padlock box and pour the next banked yellow onto it — the second vault pops, the second hidden color drops onto the mid-col-3 slot, and you dock that release next to the first to grow the same lane.
- Peel the green bottom of the mid-col-1 mixer onto a clean top-row or bottom- row bottle to bank green, then tap the bottom-col-2 pink-padlock box and pour the banked pink (drawn from the top-col-1 "?" cap bottle's second layer) onto it — the third vault pops and the third hidden color lands on the bottom-col-2 slot.
- Tap the bottom-col-3 pink-padlock box and pour the next banked pink onto it — the fourth vault pops, the fourth hidden color drops onto the bottom-col-3 slot, and you dock that release next to the third. All four wooden boxes are now open.
- Drain the bottom-col-1 blue+yellow+green mixer top-first into the freshly opened bottom-row bottles, peeling blue onto its own lane, yellow onto its own lane, and green onto its own lane. Clear the orange single out of mid col 4 the same way, and crack any remaining "?" caps as their colors land on a real home.
- Top off yellow, green, blue, cyan, orange, red, pink, purple and brown so all fifteen positions end on a single color with no mixed segments, no wood boxes and no "?" cork caps left.
Colors in this level:
Red, Pink, Purple, Yellow, Green, Blue, Cyan, Orange, Brown
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring a non-matching color onto a box (green onto the mid-col-2 yellow padlock, red onto the bottom-col-2 pink padlock), which seals the wood shut and burns the move you needed to release that hidden color.
- Peeling the green bottom off the mid-col-1 mixer before blue is banked in a clean slot, which buries green under the next pour and strands the four vault releases on top of each other.
- Stacking a non-matching color on top of a padlock lane in the top-row scratch space, which buries that lane and strands the next "?" cap pour with nowhere clean to dock.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 275 (spoiler-free)
- Bank the padlock colors (yellow for the two middle boxes, pink for the two bottom boxes) in the top-row scratch space before you tap any box — the wrong color seals the wood shut and burns the move.
- Peel the blue top off the bottom-col-1 mixer and the green bottom off the mid-col-1 mixer before any box pour, or the four vault releases have nothing to dock on.
- Crack each "?" cap only after its matching color is banked in the top-row scratch space, so the released layer lands on a real lane and not on a buried buffer.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A three-tier, five-column board with fifteen bottle positions and three starting empties — top col 4, top col 5 and mid col 5 are bare glass. The top row is three tall corked "?" cap bottles, each with a small colored cap on top and three "?" segments stacked inside (red/pink cap on col 1, purple cap on col 2, red/pink cap on col 3). The middle row is one yellow+green mixer at col 1, two tall wooden cork boxes at col 2 and col 3 (both stamped with a yellow padlock and a tan strap), and a single-color orange bottle at col 4. The bottom row is one blue+yellow+green mixer at col 1, two more tall wooden cork boxes at col 2 and col 3 (both stamped with a pink padlock and a tan strap), a cyan single at col 4 and an orange single at col 5. No wraps, no magic overflow, no tunnels — only four wooden boxes and three triple-cork "?" caps.
- Goal
- Bank the padlock colors (yellow for the two middle boxes, pink for the two bottom boxes) in the top-row scratch space first, then walk the four boxes in mid-row-then- bottom-row order so each vault releases its hidden color onto a slot that already has a matching lane. After the four vaults are open, drain the mid-col-1 yellow+green mixer, the bottom-col-1 blue+yellow+green mixer and the orange singles top-first, then crack every remaining "?" cap so all fifteen positions end on a single color with no wood and no corks left.
- Opening
- Tap top col 4 and top col 5 as scratch flasks, then peel the red/pink cap off the top-col-1 "?" cap bottle into top col 4 to start a red/pink lane. Peel the purple cap off the top-col-2 "?" cap bottle into top col 5 to start a purple lane. Pour the red/pink cap off the top-col-3 "?" cap bottle onto the red/pink lane in top col 4 to grow that lane full. Bank the orange single out of mid col 4 onto the top-col-3 "?" cap bottle so orange matches and the cork pops, then peel the yellow top off the mid-col-1 mixer onto the top-col-1 "?" cap bottle so yellow is banked and ready for the mid-col-2 yellow padlock.
- Danger Zone
- Pouring a non-matching color onto a box (green onto the mid-col-2 yellow padlock, red onto the bottom-col-2 pink padlock) seals the wood shut and burns a move that this level cannot undo — all four boxes only open on their exact padlock color. The bottom-col-1 mixer is the only place to bank blue, and the mid-col-1 mixer is the only place to bank green — peel blue off the bottom-col-1 first, or peel green from the mid-col-1 first, or the four vault releases will bury each other on the way down. The three top-row "?" cap bottles share a single pour channel, so stacking a non-matching color on top of a padlock lane buries that lane and you lose the next vault's trigger.
- Mechanics
- A four-vault finale wrapped around three triple-cork "?" cap bottles on a fifteen-bottle board. Every padlock color has to be banked in the top-row scratch space before any box pour, and every "?" cap has to be cracked before the last box triggers. The chokepoint is padlock-lane first, "?" cap second, vault third: bank red/pink, purple, yellow, green and blue across the top row, walk the four boxes in mid-row-then-bottom-row order, then drain the released colors so all fifteen positions end on a single color with no wood, no corks and no mixed segments.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you open the four wooden cork boxes in Magic Sort Level 275?
Bank yellow in the top-row scratch space first, then tap the mid-col-2 yellow- padlock box and pour the banked yellow onto it — the wood cracks and the first hidden color drops onto the mid-col-2 slot. Repeat with the mid-col-3 yellow- padlock box, then bank pink in the top-row scratch space and pour it onto the bottom-col-2 and bottom-col-3 pink-padlock boxes. Pouring a non-matching color seals the wood shut and burns the move.
Why must blue and green be peeled off the bottom-col-1 and mid-col-1 mixers before any box pour in Level 275?
The bottom-col-1 blue+yellow+green mixer is the only place to bank blue, and the mid-col-1 yellow+green mixer is the only place to bank green. Peel those two colors first and route each onto its own lane, then start the four box triggers. Reverse the order and the four vault releases have nothing to dock on, which strands green under blue and blue under green for the rest of the run.
