Magic Sort level guide
Magic Sort Level 310 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 310 is a three-tier, eleven-bottle cork-and-key release finale with zero starting empties. Pop all six pink corks with the two dark purples in the top row, route the first green and yellow reveals straight into the three key-locked empties in the bottom row, then sort the nine revealed under-colors into single bottles.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 310 — Full Solution
- Pour the dark purple from the top-row, col-4 open bottle onto the pink cork at the top-row, col-1 bottle — the cork pops and the hidden top color drops into the top-row, col-1 slot.
- Pour the dark purple from the top-row, col-5 open bottle onto the now-exposed top color in the top-row, col-1 slot to merge the two purples into a single full purple lane, freeing the top-row, col-5 as the first real empty on the board.
- Use the freed top-row, col-5 empty as a buffer, and pop the remaining five pink corks (top-row, cols 2 and 3, then bottom-row, cols 1, 2 and 3) one at a time with the merged purple, parking each revealed color into a different empty or the top-row, col-5 buffer.
- The first time green surfaces from any cork, route that green straight down into the bottom-row, col-4 bottle to pop the green key tag and turn B4 into a usable empty.
- The first time yellow surfaces, route it into the bottom-row, col-5 bottle to pop the yellow key tag and turn B5 into a usable empty, then pour a second yellow segment into the sidecar SC to pop the second yellow key tag.
- With all six corks popped and all three key tags cracked, sort the nine revealed under-colors plus the merged purple into single-color lanes — the full red, yellow, blue, brown, gray, orange, pink, purple and green each finish in their own bottle.
- Top off red, yellow, blue, brown, gray, orange, pink, purple and green so the board ends with nine full single-color bottles plus the two leftover empties in the top row.
Colors in this level:

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring either dark purple from T4 or T5 into a wrong target before all six pink corks pop, which loses the only color that can pop the remaining corks and seals those corks for the rest of the run.
- Popping a cork that reveals green or yellow without routing that color straight into the matching key-locked bottle on the very next pour, which leaves B4, B5 or the sidecar SC locked for the rest of the run.
- Forgetting the sidecar SC one column to the right and one notch below the main bottom row, which leaves the second yellow key tag unpoured and the sidecar locked even after B4 and B5 are unlocked.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 310 (spoiler-free)
- Merge the two dark purples from T4 and T5 into a single full purple lane first, before you pop any other cork, so you have a four-segment purple bank that can pop the remaining five corks in one pass.
- Route the very first green reveal straight into the bottom-row, col-4 bottle to pop the green key tag, and route the first yellow reveal into the bottom-row, col-5 bottle to pop the first yellow key tag.
- Do not forget the sidecar SC sitting one column to the right and one notch below the main bottom row; it takes a second yellow pour to crack its yellow key tag.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Three tiers, no wraps, boxes, magic flasks or frozen tiles. The top row is three full pink corked bottles at T1, T2, T3 followed by two full dark purple four-segment bottles at T4 and T5 with no cork. The main bottom row is three full pink corked bottles at B1, B2, B3, then a four-segment empty with a small green key tag at B4, and a four-segment empty with a small yellow key tag at B5. The sidecar bottle SC is a third four-segment empty with its own yellow key tag, offset one column to the right and one notch below the main bottom row.
- Goal
- Pop all six pink corks with the dark purple from T4 and T5 to free the six hidden under-colors, then crack the three key tags on B4 (green), B5 (yellow) and SC (yellow) with the right key color poured in, and finally sort every color into a single bottle so the board finishes with nine full single-color lanes (red, yellow, blue, brown, gray, orange, pink, purple, green) plus two leftover empties in the top row.
- Opening
- Pour the dark purple from the top-row, col-4 open bottle onto the pink cork at the top-row, col-1 bottle to pop the first cork. Pour the dark purple from the top-row, col-5 open bottle onto the now-exposed top color in the top-row, col-1 slot to merge the two purples into a single full purple lane and free the top-row, col-5 as the first real empty. Pop the remaining five pink corks one at a time with the merged purple, parking each revealed color into a different empty or the top-row, col-5 buffer, and route the first green and yellow reveals straight into B4, B5 and SC to crack all three key tags.
- Danger Zone
- The two dark purples at T4 and T5 are the only spare key colors on the board. Pour either dark purple into a wrong target before all six corks pop and you lose the only color that can pop the remaining corks. The green key on B4 and the yellow keys on B5 and SC are equally critical: the first green and yellow reveals must go into the matching key-locked bottles on the very next pour, or those keys are sealed for the rest of the run. The sidecar SC is offset to the right and below the main bottom row and is easy to forget, so missing the second yellow pour leaves SC key-locked.
- Mechanics
- Three-tier, eleven-bottle board with two special bottle types: six pink corks (purple key) and three key-locked empties with green and yellow key tags. The dark purple at T4 and T5 is the only cork-pop color, and the three key-locked empties each need a specific key color to activate. The chokepoint is cork-pop order plus key-unlock order: merge the two purples into a single full lane first, pop the remaining five corks in any sensible order, crack B4 with green and B5 and SC with yellow as soon as those colors surface, then sort the nine revealed under-colors plus the merged purple into single bottles.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the first pour in Magic Sort Level 310?
Pour the dark purple from the top-row, col-4 open bottle onto the pink cork at the top-row, col-1 bottle. That first purple pour pops the first cork and frees the rest of the dark purple at T4, so the next pour can merge the two purples into a single full purple lane in the top row.
Why do the three key-locked empties in the bottom row matter in Level 310?
B4 needs a green pour to pop its green key tag, and B5 and the sidecar SC each need a yellow pour to pop their yellow key tags. The green and yellow must come from the hidden under-colors of the six pink corks, so the first time green or yellow surfaces from a popped cork, that color has to go into the matching key-locked bottle on the very next pour, or the key stays sealed.
