Magic Sort level guide
Magic Sort Level 325 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 325 is a three-tier, twelve-bottle release-and-route board with four wide two-cell red paper-wrapped mystery boxes at T2, T3, M2 and M3 and four '?'-capped bottles at T1, T4, M1 and M4 as the only special obstacles on a board with no locks, wraps, white magic flasks or frozen tiles. Drain the B1 yellow/purple/cyan three-segment and the B4 yellow/red two-segment into the two starting empties at B2 and B3 first to bank clean yellow and purple buffers, peel the cyan bottom of B1 onto the '?'-capped T1 to reveal the hidden red, then pop the wide T2 wrap with that red so it splits and drops a dark blue and a green into the T2 and T3 positions. Crack the '?' cap on T4 with the next spare pour and pop the wide T3 wrap to release a pink and a second green, then repeat the same crack-then-pop pattern on the middle row by pouring the red off B4 onto the '?'-capped M1 to reveal the hidden cyan, popping the wide M2 wrap to drop an orange and a fresh empty, and popping the wide M3 wrap to drop a purple. With the top and middle rows expanded from four to five positions and all four wraps cleared, top off the released dark blue, green, pink, orange and purple into single-color lanes and clear the bottom row so the board ends with all four wraps popped, all four '?' caps removed and every bottle on a single color.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 325 — Full Solution
- Peel the yellow top off the B1 three-segment yellow/purple/cyan mixer into the B2 starting empty so B2 holds a clean yellow, then peel the purple middle of B1 into the B3 starting empty so B3 holds a clean purple, and pour the now-exposed cyan bottom of B1 onto the '?'-capped T1 bottle to break the '?' cap and reveal the hidden red on top of the cyan.
- Pour the red top off T1 onto the wide red paper-wrapped mystery box at T2 — the wrap pops with a paper-dissolve animation and T2 splits into two new single-color bottles (a dark blue and a green) that land in the T2 and T3 positions, expanding the top row from four to five.
- Pour the green top off T3 onto the matching green lane in the new T2 cell so the green pairs up, then peel the yellow top off the B4 two-segment yellow/red mixer into the parked yellow at B2 to grow the yellow buffer, and pour the red bottom of B4 onto the '?'-capped T4 bottle to crack the '?' cap and reveal the hidden green on top of the yellow.
- Pour the green top off T4 onto the wide red paper-wrapped mystery box at T3 — the wrap pops and T3 splits into two more single-color bottles (a pink and a second green) that land in the T4 and T5 positions, so the top row now carries the original T1 cyan, the new T2 dark blue, the new T3 green, the new T4 pink and the new T5 second green.
- With the top row expanded, pour the cyan bottom of the '?'-capped M1 onto the wide red paper-wrapped mystery box at M2 — the wrap pops and M2 splits into two new single-color bottles (an orange and a fresh empty) that land in the M2 and M3 positions, expanding the middle row from four to five.
- Peel the pink off the new T4 onto the freed M3 to start a pink lane, pour the orange off the new M2 onto the matching orange in the new M2 cell, and pour the next spare pour (the pink or a buffer release) onto the wide red paper-wrapped mystery box at M3 to pop the third wrap and drop a purple bottle into the M4 position, so the middle row now carries the original M1 cyan/dark-blue, the new M2 orange, the new M3 pink, the new M4 purple and the new M5 dark-blue.
- Drain any remaining '?'-cap reveal into a matching lane — pour the dark-blue from the M1 bottom onto the new T2 dark-blue lane, pour the green from T3 onto the parked green, and pour the pink from the popped T3 wrap onto the new M3 pink — until every '?' cap has been converted into a single-color bottle.
- Top off cyan, dark blue, green, pink, orange and purple across the five top and five middle positions, then clear the B2 yellow buffer and the B3 purple buffer onto matching lanes and leave B4 empty so the board ends with fifteen single-color bottles and one empty, all four wraps popped, all four '?' caps removed and no mixed segments left.
Colors in this level:
Cyan, Dark blue, Green, Pink, Red, Orange, Purple, Yellow, Gray
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Draining the B1 yellow/purple/cyan three-segment before banking yellow and purple into the B2 and B3 starting empties, which strands the cyan that the middle wraps need and leaves the M2 and M3 wraps sealed for the rest of the run.
- Popping a wide red paper-wrapped mystery box before its matching '?' cap has been cracked, which strands the wrap's two hidden bottles behind unpopped paper because the wrap has no matching color to receive and the two fresh bottles never land on a clean lane.
- Pouring the wrong color onto a '?'-capped bottle at T1, T4, M1 or M4, which leaves the fogged overlay sealed and the hidden red, green, cyan or pink never enters the sort, so the matching wrap at T2, T3, M2 or M3 has no color to crack on and stays sealed for the rest of the run.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 325 (spoiler-free)
- Drain the B1 yellow/purple/cyan three-segment and the B4 yellow/red two-segment into the two starting empties at B2 and B3 first, because the cyan and red those mixers expose are the only colors the four wide wraps at T2, T3, M2 and M3 will accept — pour them too early and the wraps have nothing to crack on.
- Crack the four '?' caps on T1, T4, M1 and M4 by pouring onto them, never by pouring off them — the fogged overlay only lifts when a pour lands on the cap, and every '?' cap hides exactly one red, green, cyan or pink that the matching wrap has to receive.
- Pop the four wide two-cell red paper-wrapped mystery boxes in the order T2, T3, M2, M3 with the matching red, green, cyan and pink reveals so each wrap splits and the top and middle rows expand from four to five positions — pop them out of order and a later wrap has no spare color to crack on.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A three-tier, four-column board of twelve bottle positions with no locks, wraps, white magic flasks, frozen tiles or starting empties besides the bottom-row slots. The top row is four positions: a '?'-capped bottle at T1 with a fogged top and a visible light-blue/cyan segment at the bottom, a wide two-cell red paper-wrapped mystery box at T2 with a small red '1' key tag on the right side, a second wide two-cell red paper-wrapped mystery box at T3 with a small red '2' key tag, and a '?'-capped bottle at T4 with a fogged top and a visible yellow segment at the bottom. The middle row is four positions: a '?'-capped bottle at M1 with a fogged top and a visible dark-blue/cyan segment at the bottom, a wide two-cell red paper-wrapped mystery box at M2 with a small red '1' key tag, a wide two-cell red paper-wrapped mystery box at M3 with a small red '2' key tag, and a '?'-capped bottle at M4 with a fogged top and a visible dark-purple/pink segment at the bottom. The bottom row is four positions: a full three-segment B1 mixer (yellow on top, purple in the middle, light-blue/cyan at the bottom), a transparent starting empty at B2, a transparent starting empty at B3, and a two-segment B4 mixer (yellow on top, red at the bottom). The four red paper-wrapped mystery boxes at T2, T3, M2 and M3 are the most visually dominant feature on the board, the four '?'-capped bottles at T1, T4, M1 and M4 are the only hidden-color markers on the visible board, and the B1 three-segment yellow/purple/cyan mixer is the most eye-catching single bottle on the bottom row.
- Goal
- Pop the four wide two-cell red paper-wrapped mystery boxes at T2, T3, M2 and M3 with the right top colors so each box releases two fresh single-color bottles into the top and middle rows and the layout expands from a 4-wide to a 5-wide grid. Reveal the four '?' caps on T1, T4, M1 and M4 by pouring into them so the hidden red, green, cyan and pink tops surface into the sort, then drain the B1 yellow/purple/cyan three-segment and the B4 yellow/red two-segment mixers top-first so every released color lands on a matching lane. The chokepoint is the four '?' caps and the four red wraps at the same time: each '?' cap hides one of the four reds that the wraps need, and each wrap needs a specific top color to crack, so the player has to peel the B1 and B4 mixers into the two starting empties at B2 and B3 first, then route the revealed '?' colors into the wraps in the right order so the boxes split and the top and middle rows expand to five bottles each. The first real unlock is popping the wide T2 wrap with the red top of T1 to release two new bottles (a dark blue and a green) into the T2 and T3 positions, and the second real unlock is popping the wide T3 wrap with the same red to release two more (a pink and a second green) into the T4 and T5 positions, which together push the layout to five top-row positions and free the dark blue, green, pink and second green that anchor the rest of the sort.
- Opening
- Peel the yellow top off the B1 three-segment mixer into the B2 starting empty so B2 holds a clean yellow, then peel the purple middle of B1 into the B3 starting empty so B3 holds a clean purple, and pour the now-exposed cyan bottom of B1 onto the '?'-capped T1 bottle to break the '?' cap and reveal the hidden red on top of the cyan. With the red revealed, peel the red top off T1 onto the wide red paper-wrapped mystery box at T2 — the wrap pops with a paper-dissolve animation and T2 splits into two new single-color bottles (a dark blue and a green) that land in the T2 and T3 positions. Pour the green top off T3 onto the matching green lane in the new T2 cell, then pop the wide T3 wrap with the next red reveal from T4 (after the T4 '?' cap has been cracked) so the wrap splits and drops two more bottles (a pink and a second green) into the T4 and T5 positions. With the top row expanded to five, repeat the same crack-then-pop pattern on the middle row: peel the yellow off B4 into the B2 buffer, peel the red off B4 onto the '?'-capped M1 to reveal the hidden cyan, then pour that cyan onto the wide M2 wrap to pop it and drop two new bottles into the M2 and M3 positions.
- Danger Zone
- The four '?' caps on T1, T4, M1 and M4 are the first real deadlock: every one of those bottles has a red, green, cyan or pink layer hidden under a fogged overlay, and the wraps at T2, T3, M2 and M3 each need a specific top color to crack. Pour the wrong color into a '?'-capped bottle and the cap stays sealed, the hidden layer never enters the sort, and the matching wrap has nothing to feed on. The four wide two-cell red wraps are the second trap: each wrap occupies one slot but releases two bottles when popped, so the row expands to five positions the moment the wrap splits, and any pour that lands on a wrap before its matching color is ready strands the wrap's two hidden bottles behind the unpopped paper. The B1 three-segment yellow/purple/cyan mixer is the third trap because it carries the only yellow, purple and cyan on the board — drain it before the '?' caps are cracked and the cyan/light-blue that the middle wraps need has nowhere to land, so the middle wraps stay sealed for the rest of the run.
- Mechanics
- A three-tier, four-column mystery-box release board with two special bottle types: four wide two-cell red paper-wrapped mystery boxes at T2, T3, M2 and M3 (each hidden behind a red paper wrap with a small '1' or '2' key tag on the right side, each occupying one outer slot but releasing two fresh single-color bottles when popped, and each requiring a specific top color pour to crack), and four '?'-capped bottles at T1, T4, M1 and M4 (each with a fogged overlay hiding the actual top color, removed by pouring into the bottle). The chokepoint is '?'-cap reveal plus wrap-pop order: peel the B1 yellow/purple/cyan three-segment and the B4 yellow/red two-segment into the two starting empties at B2 and B3 first to bank clean yellow and purple buffers, then crack the '?' caps on T1, T4, M1 and M4 by pouring onto them, then pop the wide wraps at T2, T3, M2 and M3 in turn with the matching red, green, cyan and pink reveals so each wrap splits and the top and middle rows expand to five positions. After all four wraps are open and the four '?' caps are revealed, the final state shows a 3-tier, 5-column board of fifteen positions, with all four wraps replaced by their two released single-color bottles, the four '?' caps converted into clean red/green/cyan/pink lanes, the B1 and B4 mixers drained into the bottom-row empties, and the rest of the colors sorted into matching lanes so the board ends with single-color bottles across the visible rows.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do the four wide two-cell red paper-wrapped mystery boxes work in Magic Sort Level 325?
Each wide wrap at T2, T3, M2 and M3 starts hidden behind a red paper wrap with a small '1' or '2' key tag on the right side, occupies one outer slot, and releases two fresh single-color bottles when popped. Pour the matching top color from a cracked '?' cap (red for T2, green for T3, cyan for M2, pink for M3) onto the wrap, the wrap pops with a paper-dissolve animation, and the freed cell splits into two new bottles that land in the next two positions, expanding the top and middle rows from four to five. Pour the wrong color onto a wrap and the paper stays sealed, so the two hidden bottles never enter the sort and the row stays at four positions for the rest of the run.
Why are the four '?'-capped bottles at T1, T4, M1 and M4 the chokepoint in Level 325?
Every '?'-capped bottle has a fogged overlay hiding the actual top color, and the hidden red, green, cyan and pink under those overlays are the only colors the four wide wraps at T2, T3, M2 and M3 will accept. The cap only lifts when a pour lands on the '?'-capped bottle — never when a pour leaves from it — so the player has to drain the B1 and B4 mixers into the B2 and B3 starting empties first, peel the cyan bottom of B1 onto T1 to crack the first '?' cap, then use that revealed red to pop the wide T2 wrap before the rest of the run can proceed. Skip a '?' cap and the matching wrap has nothing to feed on, so the entire wrap cascade stalls and the layout stays at four columns for the rest of the run.
