Magic Sort level guide
Magic Sort Level 320 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 320 is a three-tier, twelve-bottle pure routing board on a four-column grid with three starting empties and no special tiles. The top row is three short pink/purple/red mixers (T1 pink/purple/red, T2 red/purple/pink, T3 red/purple/purple) plus the T4 empty; the middle row is the yellow single at M1 and the orange single at M4, sandwiched around the M2 and M3 empties; the bottom row is four full four-segment mixers (B1 red/green/blue/yellow, B2 pink/blue/cyan/orange, B3 green/orange/cyan/pink, B4 red/green/orange/pink). Park the M1 yellow into M2 and the M4 orange into M3 to turn the middle row into four empties, peel the top row pink/purple/red mixers top-first into T4 and the middle empties, then drain the bottom four-stacks top-first until every bottle ends on a single color.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 320 — Full Solution
- Pour the yellow single out of M1 into the M2 middle empty so M1 becomes a real empty, and pour the orange single out of M4 into the M3 middle empty so M4 becomes a real empty — the middle row is now four empties and that is the whole workshop.
- Pour the pink top off T1 (pink/purple/red) into T4 (the top-row empty) so T1 drops to purple/red and T4 holds a clean pink.
- Pour the red top off T2 (red/purple/pink) into M1 (now empty) so T2 drops to purple/pink and M1 holds a clean red.
- Pour the red top off T3 (red/purple/purple) into the parked red in M1 so the two reds merge into a red/red lane and T3 drops to purple/purple.
- Pour the now-exposed pink top off T2 onto the parked pink in T4 so T2 drops to purple and the T4 lane becomes a full pink stack.
- Pour the purple top off T1 (now purple/red) onto the T3 purple/purple stack so the two purples merge into a purple/purple/purple lane and T1 drops to red; pour the red top off T1 onto the red/red lane in M1 so T1 collapses into a clean empty and the red lane becomes a full red stack.
- Drain the B1 red/green/blue/yellow mixer top-first into the top-row empties and the middle empties — pour red onto the parked red in M1, pour green into M2, pour blue into T1 (now empty), pour yellow into T2 (now empty) — and recover an empty every time a flask clears.
- Drain B2 pink/blue/cyan/orange, B3 green/orange/cyan/pink and B4 red/green/orange/pink top-first the same way, routing every released color onto a matching lane or into a still-empty flask, and top off red, pink, purple, yellow, orange, green, blue and cyan so the board ends with eight full single-color bottles plus four empties.
Colors in this level:
Red, Pink, Purple, Yellow, Orange, Green, Blue, Cyan
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring the M1 yellow single into T4 instead of M2, which buries the eventual pink lane under yellow and strands T2's red top behind a sealed buffer with no way to recover the pink home.
- Merging the T2 red top into the T3 red/purple/purple stack before M1 has been cleared, which strands the T2 pink beneath the now-merged T3 red and leaves the top-row pink with no clean destination.
- Pouring the M4 orange single into T4 instead of M3, which buries the orange lane and burns the only top-row empty that the top-row pink has to dock into.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 320 (spoiler-free)
- Park the M1 yellow single into M2 and the M4 orange single into M3 before you touch any top-row or bottom-row mixer — that swap turns the middle row into four empties and is the whole unlock for the rest of the board.
- Peel the three top-row pink/purple/red mixers top-first before you drain the bottom four-stacks, because T1, T2 and T3 are the only pink and purple on the board and the bottom row pink has no clean home until those top-row lanes are open.
- Merge the T2 red top into the T3 red/purple/purple stack only after M1 already holds a red lane — T2 and T3 look like a free red match on the surface, but T2 still has to release pink and purple, and merging it into T3 strands the T2 pink.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A three-tier, four-column board of twelve bottle positions with no locks, wraps, boxes, corks or magic bottles. The top row is three short pink/purple/red mixers — T1 = pink/purple/red, T2 = red/purple/pink, T3 = red/purple/purple — plus one empty flask at T4. The middle row is two near-empty singles, yellow at M1 and orange at M4, sandwiched around the two middle empties at M2 and M3. The bottom row is the heavy band, four full four-segment mixers — B1 = red/green/blue/yellow, B2 = pink/blue/cyan/orange, B3 = green/orange/cyan/pink, B4 = red/green/orange/pink. Three starting empties (T4, M2, M3) are the entire workshop, and the most visually striking feature is the top row, where all three mixers share the same pink/purple/red palette and no other bottle on the board holds any purple at all.
- Goal
- Park the middle singles first to turn the middle row into four empties, peel the three top-row pink/purple/red mixers top-first into T4 and the middle empties so the only pink and purple on the board land on their own lanes, then drain the four bottom four-stacks top-first so every released color lands on a real matching lane, and finally top off all eight colors so the board finishes with eight full single-color bottles (red, pink, purple, yellow, orange, green, blue, cyan) plus four empties across the twelve positions.
- Opening
- Pour the yellow single out of M1 into the M2 middle empty so M1 becomes a real empty, and pour the orange single out of M4 into the M3 middle empty so M4 becomes a real empty — that single swap turns the middle row into four working empties. Pour the pink top off T1 (pink/purple/red) into T4 (the top-row empty) so T1 drops to purple/red and T4 holds a clean pink. Pour the red top off T2 (red/purple/pink) into M1 (now empty) so T2 drops to purple/pink and M1 holds a clean red. Pour the red top off T3 (red/purple/purple) into the parked red in M1 so the two reds merge into a red/red lane and T3 drops to purple/purple. Pour the now-exposed pink top off T2 onto the parked pink in T4 so T2 drops to purple and the T4 pink lane becomes a full pink stack.
- Danger Zone
- With only three starting empties (T4, M2, M3) the trap is wasting one of them on a color that has no clean home — pouring the M1 yellow into T4 instead of M2 buries the eventual pink lane under yellow and strands T2's red top behind a sealed buffer. A second deadlock is merging the T2 red into T3 (red/purple/purple) before M1 has been cleared: the T2 red and the T3 red look like a free match, but the T2 red belongs to a three-color mixer that still needs to release pink and purple, and merging it into T3 strands the T2 pink beneath the now-merged T3 red. The middle singles must be parked in the middle row, not in T4, because T4 is the only buffer that can hold the top-row pink while the rest of the top row is being peeled.
- Mechanics
- A three-tier, twelve-bottle pure routing board with no locks, wraps, boxes, corks or magic bottles — every obstacle is a normal pourable mixer, and the whole puzzle is decided by the order in which the three starting empties are used. The chokepoint is the top row's pink/purple/red palette: T1, T2 and T3 are the only three bottles that hold any pink or purple on the board, and they share those colors with no other bottle, so the player must peel them top-first to free matching destinations before the bottom row mixers can be drained. The middle row is the unlock: parking M1 yellow into M2 and M4 orange into M3 turns the middle row into four empties, and that four-empty middle row is what lets the player sort the three top-row mixers and the four bottom-row mixers without ever stranding a color.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you start Magic Sort Level 320 with only three starting empties and three pink/purple/red mixers in the top row?
Park the M1 yellow single into the M2 middle empty and the M4 orange single into the M3 middle empty — that single swap turns the middle row into four working empties. With four empties in the middle row, pour the pink top off T1 into T4, the red top off T2 into M1, the red top off T3 into the parked red in M1, and the now-exposed pink off T2 onto the parked pink in T4. Those four pours peel the entire top row into clean single-color lanes and free up T1, T2 and T3 as fresh empties for the bottom row.
Why are the three top-row pink/purple/red mixers the bottleneck in Level 320?
T1, T2 and T3 are the only three bottles on the board that hold any pink or purple, and they share those two colors with no other bottle. Until those three mixers are peeled top-first into T4 and the middle empties, neither the bottom row pink nor the bottom row cyan has a matching home to dock into, and any pour that touches a bottom row mixer first strands pink or purple behind a sealed top-row stack.
