Magic Sort level guide
Magic Sort Level 321 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 321 is a three-tier, thirteen-bottle special-tile board on a five-column grid with two starting empties at B4 and B5, five sealed bottles (three gold-capped corks at T1, T4 and T5 plus two bottom-corked ? flasks at M1 and M5), and one white magic flask at T3. Pour the red top off the B3 four-stack into the M3 empty to bank a red buffer, spend the M2 red on the T1 gold cork to pop it and reveal the green hidden inside, peel the T2 four-stack into the popped T1 and the T4 gold cork to pop it and reveal blue, pop the T5 gold cork with the next spare top, unseal the M1 and M5 bottom corks as the matching colors reach them, and route the B1, B2 and B3 mixers through the T3 magic flask and the B4/B5 empties until the board finishes with eleven full single-color bottles plus the two starting empties.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 321 — Full Solution
- Pour the red top off the B3 four-stack (red/green/orange/purple) into the M3 starting empty so M3 banks a clean red and B3 drops to green/orange/purple.
- Pour the M2 single red into the T1 gold-capped cork to pop cork 1 — the gold box breaks with a sparkle and T1 becomes a working flask revealing its green hidden color.
- Pour the brown top off T2 (orange/brown/green/yellow) into the now-open T1 lane so T2 drops to orange/green/yellow and T1 grows to a green/brown two-stack.
- Pour the orange top off T2 into the T4 gold-capped cork to pop cork 2 — the gold box breaks and T4 reveals its blue hidden color.
- Pour the next spare top (the brown off the new T2 stack or the green off B3) into the T5 gold-capped cork to pop cork 3 the same way, freeing the top row as a normal working band.
- Peel the B1 blue/red/red three-segment mixer top-first into the top-row empties and the M3 red buffer — pour blue into the T3 magic flask, pour red onto the parked red in M3, and recover a fresh empty every time a flask clears.
- Drain the T2 orange/green/yellow stack, the B3 green/orange/purple stack and the M1/M5 bottom-corked flasks top-first through the T3 magic flask, the M3 red buffer and the B4/B5 starting empties, unsealing each bottom cork as the matching top color reaches it.
- Top off purple, green, brown, pink, red, orange, blue, cyan and yellow (plus the duplicate purple and duplicate green) so the board ends with eleven full single-color bottles plus the two starting empties at B4 and B5.
Colors in this level:
Red, Orange, Brown, Green, Yellow, Blue, Pink, Purple, Cyan
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring a wrong color into one of the three gold-capped corks at T1, T4 or T5, which leaves the box sealed and strands the hidden color for the rest of the run.
- Pouring into the M1 or M5 bottom-corked ? flask out of order, which locks two colors on top of a still-hidden base and forces an extra peel to recover the hidden color.
- Pouring two different colors into the T3 white magic flask in a row, which locks the only flexible single-color routing lane just when the bottom mixers need it most.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 321 (spoiler-free)
- Pop the three gold-capped corks at T1, T4 and T5 early with the right top colors (red into T1, brown/orange into T4, and the next spare top into T5), so the top row becomes a normal working band before the bottom mixers have a chance to overgrow.
- Keep the T3 white magic flask single-color the whole run, and clear it onto a real stack before reusing it — it is the only flexible single-color routing lane on the board.
- Do not pour into the M1 or M5 bottom-corked ? flasks out of order, or you will lock two colors on top of a still-hidden base and have to peel them off again.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A three-tier, five-column board with thirteen bottle positions, two starting empties (B4 and B5), and no wraps or frozen tiles. The top row is three gold-capped corked flasks at T1, T4 and T5 (each hiding a color that releases when the right top color is poured into the box) sandwiching a four-segment orange/brown/green/yellow mixer at T2 and one white magic flask at T3. The middle row is two bottom-corked flasks at M1 and M5 (each with a hidden base shown as ? segments that unseal when the right top color is poured in) sandwiching a single red flask at M2, a starting empty at M3, and a single red flask at M4. The bottom row is the heavy band — a blue/red/red three-segment mixer at B1, a single red flask at B2, and a red/green/orange/purple four-segment mixer at B3. The most visually striking feature is the trio of gold-capped corks at T1, T4 and T5 across the top row, which set the whole rhythm of the puzzle.
- Goal
- Pop the three gold-capped corks at T1, T4 and T5 with the right top colors, unseal the two bottom-corked ? flasks at M1 and M5 once the matching colors reach them, drain the heavy B1, B2 and B3 mixers through the T3 magic flask and the B4/B5 starting empties, and top off all eleven colors so the board finishes with eleven full single-color bottles (purple, green, brown, pink, red, orange, blue, cyan, yellow, plus a duplicate purple and a duplicate green) plus the two starting empties at B4 and B5.
- Opening
- Pour the red top off the B3 four-stack (red/green/orange/purple) into the M3 starting empty so M3 banks a clean red and B3 drops to green/orange/purple. Pour the M2 single red into the T1 gold-capped cork to pop cork 1 — the gold box breaks with a sparkle and T1 becomes a working flask revealing its green hidden color. Pour the brown top off T2 (orange/brown/green/yellow) into the now-open T1 lane so T2 drops to orange/green/yellow and T1 grows to a green/brown two-stack. Pour the orange top off T2 into the T4 gold-capped cork to pop cork 2 — the gold box breaks and T4 reveals its blue hidden color.
- Danger Zone
- The five sealed bottles (three gold-capped corks at T1, T4 and T5, plus two bottom-corked ? flasks at M1 and M5) are the only real traps on this board. Pour a wrong color into a gold cork and the box stays sealed, so the colors trapped behind it never enter the sort and the whole late game strands on a half-cleared top row. Pour into a bottom-corked flask out of order and you lock two colors on top of a still-hidden base and have to peel them off again. The T3 magic flask is the second trap — pour two different colors into T3 in a row and the magic flask locks on a two-color stack that costs you the only flexible single-color routing lane just when the bottom mixers need it.
- Mechanics
- A three-tier, thirteen-bottle special-tile board with no wraps or frozen tiles. The five special bottle types are: three gold-capped corks at T1, T4 and T5 (each hiding a color that releases when the right top color is poured into the box, and which become a normal flask with one segment of the revealed color once popped), two bottom-corked flasks at M1 and M5 (each with a hidden base shown as ? segments that unseal when the right top color is poured in), and one white magic flask at T3 (a flexible single-color routing lane that can absorb any top color). The chokepoint is cork-pop order plus magic-flask discipline: pop all three gold corks early with the right tops, unseal both bottom corks once the matching colors reach them, and keep T3 single-color the whole run so the final state shows eleven full single-color bottles plus the two starting empties.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the first pour in Magic Sort Level 321?
Pour the red top off the B3 four-stack (red/green/orange/purple) into the M3 starting empty to bank a clean red, then pour the M2 single red into the T1 gold-capped cork to pop cork 1 — the gold box breaks with a sparkle and T1 becomes a working flask revealing its green hidden color, freeing the brown top of T2 as the next spare top to spend on cork 2.
Why are the three gold-capped corks and two bottom-corked ? flasks the trap in Level 321?
The three gold-capped corks at T1, T4 and T5 each hide a color that only releases when the right top color is poured into the box, and the two bottom-corked ? flasks at M1 and M5 each hide a base that only unseals when the matching top color is poured in. Pop all three gold corks early with the right tops, unseal both bottom corks once the matching colors reach them, and a single wrong pour strands the rest of the run on a half-cleared top row with no way to recover the hidden colors.
