Magic Sort level guide
Magic Sort Level 330 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 330 is a two-tier routing board with five mixed top bottles, four star magic bottles underneath, and a single starting empty at the bottom-right. The top row carries the two hardest pink-yellow mixers plus a red-blue, and the bottom row is the only band of flexible lanes — drain every top color into a star magic bottle one segment at a time, keep each star magic bottle single-color, and top off the eight colors so every bottle finishes on one color.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 330 — Full Solution
- Pour T1's pink top into the B5 starting empty so B5 becomes a clean pink buffer, then pour T1's now-exposed yellow top onto the yellow near-single at T3 so T1 collapses into a working empty and T3 grows into a fuller yellow lane.
- Repeat the same pink-then-yellow peel on T2 — pour T2's pink top onto the parked pink at B5 so B5 becomes a full pink bottle, then pour T2's now-exposed yellow top onto the T3 yellow lane so T2 collapses into a second working empty.
- Take the T5 red-blue mixer top-first — pour T5's red top into the B2 red-over-purple star magic bottle (which already has a red top, so the two reds merge and B2 drops to purple), then pour T5's now-exposed blue top into the B3 green-over-blue star magic bottle (which already has a blue base, so the two blues merge and B3 drops to green) so T5 collapses into a third working empty.
- Park the bottom-row B1 pink-over-red star magic bottle by pouring B1's pink top onto the parked pink at B5 so the B5 pink lane grows, then pour B1's now-exposed red top onto the B2 red lane so B1 collapses into a clean empty and B2 becomes a red/red/purple stack.
- Drain the B3 green-over-blue star magic bottle the same way — pour B3's green top into the now-empty B4, then pour B3's now-exposed blue top onto the parked blue in T5 so B3 collapses and B4 holds a clean green buffer.
- Top off the T3 yellow lane by pouring the B4 green onto the parked green in T5 (if T5 has space) or into a free empty, then top off the T4 brown lane by pouring any remaining brown into a dedicated single-color bottle.
- Top off the eight colors (pink, yellow, brown, red, blue, purple, green, orange) so every bottle finishes on a single color and the board ends with eight full single-color lanes plus one leftover empty across the nine active positions.
Colors in this level:
Pink, Yellow, Brown, Red, Blue, Purple, Green, Orange
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring T1's pink top into the B1 star magic bottle instead of the B5 starting empty, which looks like a free pink match but strands B1's red base beneath the now-merged pink and leaves the B5 empty wasted on a less critical color.
- Pouring two different colors into the same star magic bottle, which locks the flask on a two-color stack and costs one of the four flexible routing lanes just when the top-row pink-yellow and red-blue mixers need them most.
- Starting on the T5 red-blue mixer before the two pink-yellow mixers have been peeled, which buries the eventual pink destination behind a sealed T5 top and strands the top row's pink with no clean home to dock into.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 330 (spoiler-free)
- Pour T1's pink top into the B5 starting empty first — pink is the only color that has no other home on the board, and the B5 empty is the only true buffer.
- Peel both pink-yellow mixers top-first (pink into B5, yellow onto T3) so T1 and T2 collapse into working empties you can use for the red-blue mixer.
- Keep each of the four star magic bottles single-color — pour two different colors into one and it locks, costing one of four routing lanes just when the top mixers need them.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Two tiers, no locks, wraps, boxes or corks. The top row is five standard bottles — T1 = pink-over-yellow four-segment mixer, T2 = pink-over-yellow four-segment mixer, T3 = yellow near-single (only the top segments are visible), T4 = brown near-single (only the top segments are visible), and T5 = red-over-blue four-segment mixer. The bottom row is four star magic bottles with green star icons and gold caps — B1 = pink-over-red, B2 = red-over-purple, B3 = green-over-blue, B4 = orange near-single — plus one clear starting empty at B5. There is exactly one starting empty, the four star magic bottles in the bottom row are the only flexible routing lanes on the board, and the two top-row pink-yellow mixers are the most visually dominant feature because they are the only bottles that hold any pink.
- Goal
- Drain every top color into the bottom star magic bottles one segment at a time, keep each star magic bottle single-color as it fills, then pour the matched colors out of the star magic bottles into dedicated single-color bottles so the board ends with eight full single-color bottles (pink, yellow, brown, red, blue, purple, green, orange) plus one leftover empty across the nine active positions. The chokepoint is the two top-row pink-yellow mixers: they are the only two pink bottles on the board, and until pink is parked in a clean star magic bottle, no other color can be routed without burying pink.
- Opening
- Start with T1, the left-most top-row pink-yellow mixer. Pour its pink top into the B5 starting empty so B5 becomes a clean pink buffer, then pour T1's now-exposed yellow top onto the yellow near-single at T3 so T1 collapses into an empty and T3 grows into a fuller yellow lane. Repeat the same pink-then-yellow pour on T2, the second pink-yellow mixer — pour T2's pink top onto the parked pink at B5 so the pink lane in B5 grows and T2 drops to yellow, then pour T2's now-exposed yellow top onto the T3 yellow lane so T2 also collapses into an empty. With T1 and T2 both empty, the top row now has three working empties (T1, T2, plus T5) and the B5 pink lane is parked safely.
- Danger Zone
- The four star magic bottles in the bottom row are the only flexible single-color lanes on the board, and each one must finish on a single color. Pour two different colors into the same star magic bottle and it locks on a two-color stack, which costs you one of four routing lanes just when the two top-row pink-yellow mixers and the red-blue top mixer need them most. A second trap is pouring T1's pink top into B1 (which already holds pink on top of red) instead of the B5 starting empty — that looks like a free pink match, but B1 still has to release its red base, and merging the pink into B1 strands the red beneath the now-merged pink. The B5 starting empty is the only true buffer on the board, and it must be spent on the first pink, not on a brown or a yellow.
- Mechanics
- A two-tier, ten-position routing board with no locks, wraps, boxes or corks. The only special bottle type is the four star magic bottles in the bottom row — each is a white flask with a green star icon and a gold cap that can absorb any top color, but each must still finish on one color. The chokepoint is pour order plus star-magic discipline: park the first pink into the B5 starting empty before you touch any top mixer, peel both pink-yellow mixers top-first so pink lands in B5 and yellow lands on T3, then route the T5 red-blue mixer through the freed T1 and T2 top empties and the four star magic bottles one segment at a time. The final state is eight full single-color bottles (pink, yellow, brown, red, blue, purple, green, orange) plus one leftover empty across the nine active positions, with all four star magic bottles still capped gold.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the first pour in Magic Sort Level 330?
Pour T1's pink top into the B5 starting empty so B5 becomes a clean pink buffer, then pour T1's now-exposed yellow top onto the yellow near-single at T3 so T1 collapses into a working empty. Pink is the only color on the board that has no other home, so the B5 empty must be spent on the first pink, not on a brown or a yellow.
Why are the four star magic bottles the key to Level 330?
The top row is fully mixed and the only true buffer is the single B5 starting empty at the bottom-right. The four star magic bottles in the bottom row are the only flexible routing lanes on the board, so every top color has to dock into a star magic bottle one segment at a time. Keep each star magic bottle single-color as it fills, and the two top-row pink-yellow mixers plus the red-blue mixer drain cleanly; pour two different colors into one star magic bottle and it locks, which strands the rest of the run.
