Magic Sort level guide
Magic Sort Level 328 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 328 is a three-tier, fourteen-position wood-box release board on a four-column frame with three wooden boxes (one wide bottom-left box plus two small side boxes flanking the middle row) and four tan cap key flasks (T3 red+green+cyan in the top row plus pink, gray and orange singles in the middle row). Tap the single clear empty at T4 as the scratch flask, route the pink top off the T1 blue+pink mixer into the matching pink key flask at M2 to bank the first trigger, pour that pink into the small left wood box padlock to pop the lock, then repeat for the small right wood box and the wide bottom-left wood box in turn. After all three wood boxes are open, merge the eleven starting flasks with the released bottles so every position finishes on a single color.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 328 — Full Solution
- Tap the single clear empty at T4 as the scratch flask, then pour the pink top off the T1 blue+pink mixer into the matching pink key flask at M2 so T1 drops to a single dark blue and M2 holds a full pink stack — that completes the pink trigger.
- Pour the purple top off the T2 purple+orange mixer into the T1 cell (now a clean dark blue) so T2 drops to a single orange base; the dark blue at T1 stays undisturbed because purple is not the trigger for any wood box, it just clears the top of T2.
- Pour the banked pink out of the M2 key flask into the small left wood box padlock at the middle row — the padlock pops, the small left wood box opens, and a fresh released bottle drops into that cell, converting the locked position into a working pourable flask.
- Bank the next trigger color: peel a clean orange stack at M4 by routing the orange base out of T2 onto the M4 key flask (or into a clean scratch cell) so M4 holds a single orange stack — that completes the orange trigger.
- Pour the banked orange from the M4 key flask into the small right wood box padlock at the middle row — the padlock pops, the small right wood box opens, and a fresh released bottle drops into that cell, expanding the middle row's working cells.
- Bank the wide bottom-left box trigger: peel the cyan top off the B2 blue+cyan mixer into the B3 single cyan flask to grow the cyan lane, then pour the matching trigger color into the wide bottom-left wood box padlock to pop it — the wide box opens and drops fresh bottles into the bottom-left cells.
- Drain the remaining two-color mixers top-first — split B2 blue+cyan by pouring its blue base onto a clean dark blue lane, split B4 blue+red by pouring its red top onto a clean scratch cell, split B5 yellow+green by pouring its green top onto a matching green base if available, and recover an empty every time a flask clears.
- Top off the tan cap key flasks (T3, M2, M3, M4) last so their trigger reservoirs are the last to lock, then top off dark blue, orange, cyan, red, yellow and green so the whole board ends with every bottle holding a single color and no padlocks, no key caps and no mixed segments left.
Colors in this level:
Pink, Blue, Purple, Orange, Red, Green, Cyan, Yellow, Gray, Brown
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring a non-matching color into a wood box padlock, which seals the lock and strands the hidden bottle behind it for the rest of the run.
- Pouring a color into the single clear empty at T4 that does not match a wood box trigger, which strands the buffer on a stacked color and you lose the clean slot you needed to bank the next trigger.
- Cracking the wide bottom-left wood box before the two small side wood boxes are open, which strands the wide box's released bottle on a sealed bottom-left slot and locks the bottom row.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 328 (spoiler-free)
- Crack the three wood boxes in left small → right small → wide bottom order so the middle row gains working cells first and the bottom row has scratch space waiting for the wide box cascade.
- Feed each wood box from a key flask (M2 pink, M3 gray, M4 orange) that already holds the matching trigger color — pouring a non-matching color into a padlock seals the lock and strands the hidden bottle.
- Save the wide bottom-left wood box for last because it is the only single-cell-wide release on the board and its released bottle needs a working empty waiting in the bottom row.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A three-tier, four-column board of fourteen starting positions with no corks, no wraps, no magic flasks and no frozen tiles. The top row is T1 a blue+pink two-color mixer (dark blue base, pink top), T2 a purple+orange two-color mixer (purple top, orange base), T3 a red+green+cyan three-color mixer with a small tan cap and a key icon stamped on its face, and T4 a single clear empty starting buffer. The middle row is five elements: a small wood box on the far left with a brass padlock, M2 a single pink flask with a tan cap and key icon, M3 a single gray flask with a tan cap and key icon, M4 a single orange flask with a tan cap and key icon, and a small wood box on the far right with a brass padlock. The bottom row is five elements: a wide wooden box on the far left with a gold key sitting in its padlock, B2 a blue+cyan two-color mixer, B3 a single cyan flask, B4 a blue+red two-color mixer, and B5 a yellow+green two-color mixer. The three wooden boxes (the wide bottom-left box plus the two small side boxes in the middle row) and the four tan cap key flasks are the dominant visual on the board, T4 is the entire starting workshop, and the wide bottom-left wood box is the most visually striking feature because it sits one notch wider than any other element and visibly hides a full row of bottles behind its slats.
- Goal
- Crack the three wooden boxes (the wide bottom-left box plus the two small side boxes in the middle row) by pouring the right trigger color into each box's padlock, which releases fresh bottles and converts the locked positions into working pourable cells. The four tan cap key flasks (T3 in the top row plus the pink, gray and orange singles in the middle row) are the trigger reservoirs: each flask needs to be filled with its matching color before the matching wood box will pop. After all three wooden boxes are open, the board expands and the released bottles plus the eleven starting flasks have to be merged so every bottle ends on a single color with no padlocks, no key caps and no mixed segments left.
- Opening
- Tap the single clear empty at T4 as the only scratch flask, then pour the pink top off the T1 blue+pink mixer into the matching pink key flask at M2 so T1 drops to a single dark blue and M2 holds a full pink stack — that completes the pink trigger. Pour the purple top off the T2 purple+orange mixer into the T1 cell (now a clean dark blue) so T2 drops to a single orange base and the dark blue base at T1 stays undisturbed. Pour the banked pink out of the M2 key flask into the small left wood box padlock at the middle row — the padlock pops, the small left wood box opens, and a fresh released bottle drops into that cell, converting the locked position into a working pourable flask.
- Danger Zone
- Pouring the wrong color onto a wood box padlock seals the lock and burns a move. The four tan cap key flasks each have to be filled with their matching color before the matching wood box will pop — pour a non-matching color into a padlock and the box stays locked for the rest of the run, stranding the hidden bottle behind it. The single clear empty at T4 is the only workspace before any box opens, so pouring a color into T4 that does not match a wood box trigger strands the buffer on a stacked color and you lose the clean slot you need to bank the next trigger. The wide bottom-left wood box is the biggest trap because it sits across an entire cell width and only accepts one specific trigger color — pour the wrong color and the wide box locks shut, blocking the entire bottom-left slot for the rest of the run. The middle row key flasks (pink, gray, orange) are also fragile: each is a small tan cap key bottle that holds only one trigger color, so a stray top-color pour from a top-row mixer can seal that cap and strand the matching wood box.
- Mechanics
- A three-tier, fourteen-position wood-box release board on a four-column frame with no corks, no wraps, no magic flasks and no frozen tiles — every obstacle is one of three wooden boxes (one wide bottom-left box plus two small side boxes flanking the middle row) and four tan cap key flasks (T3 in the top row plus pink, gray and orange singles in the middle row). The three wooden boxes each need a specific trigger color poured into its padlock to crack, and the wrong color seals the padlock. The four tan cap key flasks are the trigger reservoirs: fill pink at M2 to crack the left small wood box, fill gray at M3 to crack the right small wood box, fill orange at M4 to crack the wide bottom-left wood box, and fill the trigger for T3 to handle the top row key bottle. The chokepoint is box order: crack the two small side wood boxes in the middle row first to add working cells to the densest tier, then crack the wide bottom-left wood box last so its released bottles have a clean empty to land in. After all three wood boxes are open, the eleven starting flasks plus the released bottles have to be merged so every position ends on a single color.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you open the three wooden boxes in Magic Sort Level 328?
Each of the three wooden boxes on the board needs a specific trigger color poured into its padlock to crack. The four tan cap key flasks (T3 in the top row plus pink, gray and orange singles in the middle row) are the trigger reservoirs — fill pink at M2 to crack the small left wood box in the middle row, fill orange at M4 to crack the small right wood box in the middle row, and pour the matching trigger color into the wide bottom-left wood box padlock to pop that one last. Pouring any other color into a padlock seals the lock and burns the move.
Why is the wide bottom-left wood box the bottleneck in Level 328?
It sits across an entire cell width and visibly hides a full row of bottles behind its slats, so it is the densest release on the board. Save the wide bottom box for last so the rest of the bottom row already has a working empty waiting to receive its released bottle, and feed it from a key flask that already holds the matching trigger color so the padlock does not seal shut on a stray pour.
