Magic Sort Level 318 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 318 is a two-tier, ten-bottle red-wrapped magic flask reveal board. Pour a top-row color into each of the five bottom-row wrapped flasks to break the wraps and reveal the five hidden four-color mixers, then route every color into a single bottle so the board ends with ten full single-color lanes.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 318 — Full Solution
- Pour the yellow top of the top-row, col-2 flask into the bottom-row, col-1 red-wrapped flask to break the first wrap, revealing a hidden pink-green-blue-purple four-color mix in B1 and freeing the dark-purple top of T2.
- Pour the dark-purple top of T2 onto the purple top of T5 to start a single purple lane, then unwrap the bottom-row, col-2 wrapped flask with an unused top-row top, revealing its own four-color mix in B2.
- Unwrap the bottom-row, col-3 wrapped flask next, then col-4 and col-5 in turn, spending one top-row top per unwrap and keeping one top-row flask a two-color mixer until the last wrap is broken.
- Sort the top-row mixers top-first — pour T1's red into the red lane, T3's blue onto T4's blue, and T4's yellow onto T1's yellow — collapsing the top row into single-color lanes as the bottom-row mixers surface.
- Drain the five revealed four-color mixers from the bottom row top-first, pouring each exposed color onto its matching top-row lane or onto a cleared bottom-row lane, and clear each buffer onto a real single-color bottle before reusing it.
- Top off red, yellow, blue, cyan, purple, orange, pink, brown, gray and green so all ten bottles end on a single color with no leftover empties.
Colors in this level:
Red, Yellow, Blue, Cyan, Purple, Orange, Pink, Brown, Gray, Green
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring the wrong top-row color into a wrapped flask just to break the wrap, which spends a useful top on a reveal that gives you no clean lane and strands a color underneath.
- Collapsing every top-row flask into a single-color lane before all five wraps are broken, which leaves no spare top to spend on the last wrap and seals it for the rest of the run.
- Reusing a bottom-row buffer that still holds a different color, which strands the new color on top of the old one and breaks the sort.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 318 (spoiler-free)
- Pour a top-row color into each of the five red-wrapped bottom-row flasks first, one at a time, to break every wrap and reveal all five hidden four-color mixers.
- Keep at least one two-color top-row mixer untouched until the last wrap is broken so you always have a spare top to spend on the next unwrap.
- After all wraps are broken, drain the revealed four-color mixers top-first onto the top-row lanes, clearing each buffer onto a real single-color bottle before reusing it.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Two tiers, no corks, key tags, white magic flasks, boxes or frozen tiles. The top row is five two-segment mixers carrying red, yellow, blue, cyan and purple in pairs — top-row col-1 red-over-yellow, col-2 yellow-over-dark-purple, col-3 a near-empty blue-over-yellow, col-4 blue-over-yellow, col-5 purple-over-blue. The bottom row is five red scroll-wrapped magic flasks that completely cover the band, each hiding a four-color mix underneath. There are zero truly starting empties — the wrapped flasks count as the only open bottoms, and the top row offers one near-empty slot at col-3 once drained. The most striking feature is the unbroken red scroll wrap that fills the entire bottom row.
- Goal
- Unwrap all five red-wrapped bottom-row magic flasks by pouring the right top-row color into each, then sort the revealed four-color mixers plus the five top-row two-color mixers into single-color lanes so the board ends with ten full single-color bottles (red, yellow, blue, cyan, purple, orange, pink, brown, gray, green).
- Opening
- Pour the yellow top of the top-row, col-2 flask into the bottom-row, col-1 wrapped flask to break the first wrap, revealing a hidden pink-green-blue-purple four-color mix in B1 and freeing the dark-purple top of T2 as a spare. Use that dark-purple top onto the purple top of T5 to start a single purple lane, then unwrap the remaining four wrapped flasks one at a time with whichever top-row top you can spare.
- Danger Zone
- The five red-wrapped bottom-row flasks are the only source of four-color mixers, and you cannot sort a wrapped flask without first unwrapping it. Pour the wrong top-row color into a wrapped flask and the wrap still breaks, but you have spent a useful top-row color on a reveal that gives you no clean lane in return. The tightest crisis is mid-board when three or four wraps are broken and every revealed mix wants the same handful of top-row tops — keep at least one top-row flask a two-color mixer until the last wrap is broken so you always have a fresh top to spend.
- Mechanics
- A two-tier, ten-bottle board whose only special bottle type is the red-wrapped magic flask that fills the entire bottom row. Each wrapped flask hides a four-color mix underneath the red scroll, and the wrap breaks with a sparkle the moment a color is poured into it, revealing the mix and turning the flask into a normal four-segment mixer that still needs sorting. The chokepoint is unwrap order: you must break the five wraps early to create working buffers, but each unwrap costs a useful top-row top, so the safe play is to keep one two-color top-row mixer untouched until the last wrap is broken. After all five wraps are broken, the puzzle becomes a clean nine-color sort across ten bottles.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the first pour in Magic Sort Level 318?
Pour the yellow top of the top-row, col-2 flask into the bottom-row, col-1 red-wrapped flask. The wrap breaks with a sparkle and reveals a hidden pink-green-blue-purple four-color mix in B1, freeing the dark-purple top of T2 as a spare color to start a purple lane.
Why are the five red-wrapped bottom-row flasks the trap in Level 318?
Each wrap costs one top-row color to break, and the reveal underneath is a four-color mix that still needs to be sorted. If you unwrap in the wrong order or spend a top that has no matching lane, you strand a wrap sealed or strand a color on top of a mismatched buffer, and the late game has nowhere to park the leftovers.
