Magic Sort level guide
Magic Sort Level 300 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 300 is a two-tier, five-column carpet-release finale on a ten-position board, with a four-piece red carpet locked into the leftmost 2×2 grid and four heavily mixed col-3 and col-4 mixers (a top-row yellow/blue/red, a top-row green/red/yellow, a bottom-row blue/blue/pink/green and a bottom-row blue/purple/pink/green) doing all of the work. Bank yellow and blue into the two col-5 buffers first, drain the bottom four-stacks top-first so pink and purple ride onto the parked blue, then peel the green/red/yellow anchor last as the carpet unrolls and reveals two hidden rightmost columns, until all fourteen positions end on a single color.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 300 — Full Solution
- Pour the yellow top off the top-row, col-3 yellow/blue/red mixer into the top-row, col-5 buffer so yellow is banked on a clean slot and the col-3 mixer drops to blue/red.
- Pull the blue top off the top-row, col-3 mixer and dock it into the bottom-row, col-5 buffer; the bottom buffer now sits empty under a fresh blue, and the top-row, col-3 mixer is left as a clean red stub.
- Pour the pink top off the bottom-row, col-3 blue/blue/pink/green mixer onto the parked blue in the bottom-row, col-5 buffer so pink rides onto pink and the bottom-row, col-3 mixer drops to blue/blue/green.
- Pour the purple top off the bottom-row, col-4 blue/purple/pink/green mixer into the bottom-row, col-5 buffer and merge it onto the pink stack; pour the now-exposed blue from the bottom-row, col-4 mixer onto the same col-5 buffer so the bottom row has a single blue/purple/pink lane and the bottom-row, col-4 mixer is left as pink/green.
- Tap the top-row, col-4 green/red/yellow anchor to start peeling it — pour the yellow top onto the banked yellow in the top-row, col-5 buffer, then pour the red top onto the red stub in the top-row, col-3 mixer so green drops to the bottom of the col-4 stack.
- Drain the bottom-row, col-3 blue/blue/green mixer top-first into the bottom-row, col-5 blue/purple/pink buffer so the two blues merge and the bottom-row, col-3 mixer is left as a clean green stub; pour the bottom-row, col-4 pink/green mixer onto the same col-5 buffer and dock the released green onto the green stub at bottom-row, col-3.
- As the carpet unrolls, the two hidden rightmost columns (cols 6 and 7) become live bottle slots — use the new top-row, col-6 buffer to harvest the released yellow and red, the new top-row, col-7 buffer to bank the final green, and the new bottom-row, col-6 / col-7 buffers to dock the released blue, purple and pink onto the matching lanes.
- Top off green, yellow, red, blue, purple and pink so all fourteen bottles end on a single color with the carpet fully unrolled and no mixed segments left anywhere on the board.
Colors in this level:
Yellow, Blue, Red, Green, Pink, Purple
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring any non-yellow color into the top-row, col-5 buffer before yellow is banked, which buries yellow under a foreign color and strands the rest of the top-row, col-3 mixer behind a sealed buffer with no way to recover yellow for the top-row, col-4 anchor.
- Dumping the purple off the bottom-row, col-4 mixer into the bottom-row, col-5 buffer before blue is parked there, which locks the bottom buffer into a blue/purple/pink mixed state that no top-tier pour can clear.
- Tapping the top-row, col-4 green/red/yellow anchor before the top-tier yellow and the bottom-tier blue are banked, which strands the released green behind a yellow anchor that has no clean home on the visible board.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 300 (spoiler-free)
- Bank the top-row yellow and the bottom-row blue into the two col-5 buffers before you touch the green/red/yellow anchor at top-row, col-4 — yellow and blue are the only top-tier and bottom-tier colors that anchor can absorb, and parking them first is what lets the anchor peel cleanly.
- Always pour pink onto the parked blue at bottom-row, col-5 before you ever pour purple into that same buffer — purple has no other home on the visible board, and a premature purple pour locks the bottom buffer into a blue/purple/pink mixed state.
- Treat the top-row, col-4 green/red/yellow stack as your last top-tier peel rather than your first — it is the only place that holds red and green together, and tapping it before yellow is banked strands green behind a yellow anchor that has nowhere to go.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A two-tier, five-column board at the visible start with the leftmost two columns taken up by a 2×2 grid of tall red carpet cylinders (one in the top tier, one in the bottom tier, each topped with a small tan cap). Columns 3 and 4 hold the four real mixers: a top-row, col-3 yellow/blue/red three-stack and a top-row, col-4 green/red/yellow three-stack on the upper tier, a bottom-row, col-3 blue/blue/pink/green four-stack and a bottom-row, col-4 blue/purple/pink/green four-stack on the lower tier. The rightmost column (col 5) is two near-empty buffers — one in the top tier, one in the bottom tier — and that is the entire workshop for the first half of the run. No locks, wraps, boxes, corks or magic bottles on the playing side; the four carpet cylinders are a "new item" cosmetic that unrolls as the sort progresses.
- Goal
- The real bottleneck is the green/red/yellow three-stack at top-row, col-4 — it is the only place on the visible board that holds a red and a green together in the same stack and the only anchor for both colors before the carpet starts unrolling. The first unlock is pouring the blue off the bottom-row, col-4 mixer into the bottom-row, col-5 buffer, which frees up a third buffer slot, peels blue off a 4-stack, and lets the carpet start revealing the hidden rightmost columns. Once the carpet is fully unrolled, the run becomes a pure routing finale across a full seven-column board, with the col-3 / col-4 mixers as the only color sources left.
- Opening
- Pour the yellow top off the top-row, col-3 yellow/blue/red mixer into the top-row, col-5 buffer so yellow is banked on a clean slot and the col-3 mixer drops to blue/red. Pull the blue top off the same col-3 mixer and dock it into the bottom-row, col-5 buffer, so the bottom buffer sits empty under a fresh blue. Pour the pink top off the bottom-row, col-3 blue/blue/pink/green mixer into the bottom-row, col-5 buffer (the parked blue) so pink rides onto a matching pink and the bottom-row, col-3 mixer drops down to blue/blue/green.
- Danger Zone
- Pouring any non-yellow color into the top-row, col-5 buffer first buries yellow under a foreign color and strands the rest of the top-row, col-3 mixer behind a sealed buffer — yellow is the only color on the top tier that the top-row, col-4 green/red/yellow anchor can absorb later. A second deadlock is dumping the purple off the bottom-row, col-4 mixer into the bottom-row, col-5 buffer before blue is parked there: purple has no other home and locks the bottom buffer into a mixed state that no top-tier pour can clear, which then strands the bottom-row, col-3 four-stack behind a sealed bottom buffer.
- Mechanics
- A two-tier carpet-release finale on a ten-position board, with no locks, wraps, boxes, corks or magic bottles on the playing side. The leftmost 2×2 grid of red carpet cylinders is a new-item cosmetic, and as the player drains the col-3 and col-4 mixers the carpet unrolls and reveals two more bottle columns on the right (cols 6 and 7) that join the playable area. The chokepoint is the green/red/yellow anchor in the top row, col-4: keep that one stack untouched until the top-tier yellow and the bottom-tier blue and pink are banked, then drain the col-3 mixers top-first so every released color lands on a real lane before the carpet finishes unrolling and the full seven-column board is online.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you start Magic Sort Level 300 with only two col-5 buffers and a four-piece carpet locked into the left side?
Bank the top-row yellow and the bottom-row blue first by pouring them off the top-row, col-3 yellow/blue/red mixer into the two col-5 buffers, then pour pink onto the parked blue so the bottom buffer becomes a clean blue/pink stack. Those two parked colors are the only thing the green/red/yellow anchor at top-row, col-4 can absorb, and parking them first is what lets the anchor peel cleanly once the carpet starts unrolling.
Why is the top-row, col-4 green/red/yellow stack the bottleneck in Level 300?
It is the only place on the visible board that holds red and green together in the same stack, and the only anchor for both colors before the carpet unrolls. Tapping it too early strands green behind a yellow anchor that has no clean home on the visible board, and once green is buried the carpet finishes unrolling over a half-sorted grid. Park yellow and red before you touch that anchor, and the carpet does the rest for you.
