Magic Sort Level 304 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 304 is a ten-bottle cork-and-magic board on two tiers. Bank red in the bottom row, pop the red cork on T5 to release cyan, fill the two white magic bottles with pink and brown, then drain the four mixers top-first so all ten bottles end on a single color.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 304 — Full Solution
- Pour the red top of T2 into a clean bottom empty to start a red lane.
- Pour the red top of T1 onto that red lane to grow the red bank to two segments.
- Pour the banked red onto the T5 corked bottle — the cork pops and the hidden cyan drops into the T5 slot.
- Drain T1 and T2 into a single green lane in the bottom row by pouring yellow from T1 onto a clean bottom empty and walking green from T1 and T2 onto the same green stack.
- Pour orange from T4 onto a clean bottom empty to start an orange lane, then pour blue from T4 onto the blue base at B4 so T4 ends empty.
- Fill the T3 magic bottle with pink and the B5 magic bottle with brown, one color per bottle — these are the two colors with no clean home.
- Route the released cyan from T5 onto a clean top-row slot and grow the cyan lane one segment at a time.
- Top off red, green, yellow, orange, blue, brown, pink and cyan so all ten bottles end on a single color with no cork caps left.
Colors in this level:
Red, Green, Yellow, Orange, Blue, Brown, Pink, Cyan
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring a non-red color onto the T5 cork fails the pop and strands a working pour under a foreign cap, sealing the cork for the rest of the run.
- Filling the T3 or B5 magic bottles with two different colors locks them in and burns your only flexible overflow just when cyan and the bottom mixers need a place to land.
- Routing the released cyan from T5 before the bottom mixers are cleared strands cyan on a mismatched base and you lose the only home for that color.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 304 (spoiler-free)
- Bank a red lane in the bottom row before you touch the T5 cork, because red is the only spare copy on the board and the cork only pops on red.
- Reserve the T3 and B5 magic bottles for pink and brown, one color per bottle — those are the two colors with no clean home.
- After T5 pops, route the released cyan onto a clean buffer before the bottom mixers fill the bottom row, or cyan strands on a mismatched base.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Two-tier, five-column board of ten bottles with no wraps, boxes or frozen tiles. The top row is T1 a red-green-yellow mixer, T2 a red-green mixer, T3 a small white magic bottle, T4 an orange-blue mixer, and T5 a small red-corked stub bottle. The bottom row is B1, B2 and B3 three open empty bottles plus B4 a brown-blue mixer and B5 a second small white magic bottle. The single red cork on T5 and the two white magic stubs at T3 and B5 are the entire obstacle set.
- Goal
- Bank a red lane in the bottom row, pop the T5 cork with red so cyan enters play, fill the T3 magic bottle with pink and the B5 magic bottle with brown (the two colors with no clean home), drain T1, T2, T4 and B4 top-first, and top off red, green, yellow, orange, blue, brown, pink and cyan so all ten bottles end on a single color with no cork caps left.
- Opening
- Pour the red top of T2 into a clean bottom empty to start a red lane. Pour the red top of T1 onto that same red lane to grow the red bank. Pour the banked red onto the T5 corked bottle — the cork pops and the hidden cyan drops into the T5 slot. Now use the freed T5 slot and the B1-B3 empties as scratch flasks to bank cyan, pink and brown onto their own home bottles.
- Danger Zone
- Pouring a non-red color onto the T5 cork fails the pop and strands a working pour under a foreign cap — the T5 cork only pops on red. Filling the T3 or B5 magic bottles with two different colors locks them in and burns your only flexible overflow just when the released cyan and the bottom mixers need a place to land. Starting the bottom-row sort before T5 pops strands cyan behind a closed cork and forces you to re-bank the red lane.
- Mechanics
- A one-cork, two-magic-bottle reveal on a two-tier 10-bottle board with no other gimmicks. The cork releases one hidden color (cyan) and the two magic bottles absorb the two colors that have no clean home (pink and brown). The chokepoint is cork-first, magic-second, sort-third: bank red in the bottom row, pop T5 to release cyan, fill T3 and B5 with pink and brown, then drain the four mixers top-first into the freed slots.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you pop the T5 cork in Magic Sort Level 304?
Bank a red lane in the bottom row by pouring the red tops of T1 and T2 into a clean bottom empty, then pour that red bank onto the T5 corked bottle. The cork pops and the hidden cyan drops into the T5 slot, exposing T5 as a real pourable bottle.
Why do the T3 and B5 magic bottles each need only one color in Level 304?
Pink and brown are the two colors that have no clean home in the top or bottom row, so each magic bottle takes exactly one of them. Pouring two different colors into one magic bottle locks it in and burns your only flexible overflow just when the released cyan and the bottom mixers need a place to land.
