Magic Sort level guide
Magic Sort Level 336 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 336 is a sealed-bottle routing board — four white mystery bottles in the top row hide the colors cyan, brown, and the two greens, a locked wooden chest at the bottom is the only source of working buffers, and five mixed bottles in the middle need to be drained top-first. Crack the chest first to bank the only three empties you will ever have, break the four white mystery bottles one at a time so each reveal lands in a clean single-color buffer, then peel the middle mixers down to one color each until the board ends with ten full single-color bottles plus two leftover empties.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 336 — Full Solution
- Crack the locked chest at the bottom of the board first so the three new bottles (a cyan, a red, and a pink near-single) drop into the bottom row and become the only three working buffers on the board.
- Peel the M5 three-color mixer top-first — pour M5's yellow top into one of the new chest buffers, then pour M5's now-exposed orange top onto the orange section of M2 so M5 collapses into a working empty and the chest buffer holds a clean yellow.
- Drain the M1 yellow-over-green and M3 yellow-over-blue mixers the same way — pour each yellow top onto the parked yellow in the chest buffer, then route the green and blue bases into the remaining chest buffers so M1 and M3 collapse into two more working empties.
- Break the first white mystery bottle at the top-left by tapping it so its hidden color enters play, then send that color into one of the three chest buffers and keep that buffer single-color from then on.
- Break the remaining three white mystery bottles one at a time as the middle row drains, parking each reveal into its own dedicated single-color buffer so no buffer ever holds two different colors at once.
- Use the freed M1, M3 and M5 empties plus the three chest buffers to finish the last color routes, merging the M2 orange-green and the M4 short bottle into their final lanes and pulling every leftover segment out of the middle row.
- Top off the ten target colors (cyan, blue, dark blue, purple, green, brown, yellow, orange, pink, red) so every bottle finishes on a single color and the board ends with ten full single-color bottles plus two leftover empties across the twelve active positions.
Colors in this level:
Green, Yellow, Orange, Blue, Dark blue, Purple, Brown, Cyan, Pink, Red
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Trying to pour from a white mystery bottle before breaking it — the pour does nothing and burns a move while the chest's three buffers do all the work.
- Breaking a white mystery bottle while the middle row is still full of mixers, which dumps a fresh color onto a board with no clean single-color buffer and strands the color underneath.
- Pouring two different colors into the same chest buffer, which locks one of the only three routing lanes the level gives you and forces a restart.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 336 (spoiler-free)
- Crack the locked chest before you touch anything else — the three buffers it releases are the only working empties on the entire board.
- Break the four white mystery bottles one at a time, and only after the middle mixers have freed up a clean single-color buffer for the reveal.
- Peel the middle mixers top-first so the yellow, orange, green and blue bases all collapse into single-color empties instead of leaving buried two-color stacks.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Three tiers, no wraps, boxes or corks, but two layered special mechanics. The top row is four tall white mystery bottles with a thin sliver of color visible through the base — left to right: green, purple, green, green — and those slivers are the only hint of what each hides. The middle row is five four-segment mixers: M1 = yellow over green, M2 = orange over green, M3 = yellow over blue, M4 = a short near-empty with a small green top over a tiny darker sliver, and M5 = yellow over orange over green (the only three-color bottle). The bottom slot is a single locked wooden chest with a padlock. There are zero starting empties on the board — the only way to get working buffers is to crack the chest, and the four white mystery bottles cannot be poured from until they are broken.
- Goal
- Open the chest to bank the only three working buffers, break the four white mystery bottles one at a time so their hidden colors enter play, then drain the five middle-row mixers into those buffers until every bottle on the board holds a single color (cyan, blue, dark blue, purple, green, brown, yellow, orange, pink, red) and two leftover positions are empty. The chokepoint is sequencing the chest opening with the first mystery bottle break — the chest is the only source of buffers, and the mystery bottles are the only source of four of the ten target colors.
- Opening
- Crack the locked chest at the bottom of the board first so the three new bottles (a cyan, a red, and a pink near-single) drop into the bottom row — these are the only three working buffers you will have for the rest of the run. Peel the M5 three-color mixer top-first: pour M5's yellow top into the bottom-left chest buffer, then pour M5's now-exposed orange top onto the orange section of M2 so M5 collapses into a working empty. Repeat the top-first peel on M1 and M3, sending every yellow top onto the parked yellow lane and freeing the green and blue bases underneath.
- Danger Zone
- The chest only gives you three buffers, and the four white mystery bottles are sealed until you break them — pour from a white mystery bottle before breaking it and nothing happens, which burns a move and leaves the chest's three buffers doing all the work. The other trap is breaking the mystery bottles in the wrong order: each broken white bottle dumps a fresh color onto an already-tight board, so if you break one while the middle row is still full of mixers, the new color has nowhere clean to land and you end up with a two-color stack that strands the color underneath. The tightest moment is around the 50–60 second mark when two white mystery bottles are still sealed and the middle row is half-drained.
- Mechanics
- A three-tier, twelve-position board with no wraps, boxes or corks, but with two layered special mechanics. A locked wooden chest at the bottom opens during play to release three new bottles — the only source of working buffers on the board. Four white frosted mystery bottles in the top row hide one color each and have to be broken by tap to release their color; once broken, they behave like normal four-segment bottles. The whole run is about cracking the chest early, peeling the middle mixers top-first to bank empties, then breaking the mystery bottles in the right order so each reveal lands in a clean single-color buffer instead of a stack.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do the four white mystery bottles work in Magic Sort Level 336?
Each white mystery bottle hides one color and is sealed until you tap it to break the frosted wrap, after which it behaves like a normal four-segment bottle that can be poured from and into freely. Break them one at a time and only after the middle mixers have freed up a clean single-color buffer for the reveal.
Why crack the locked chest first in Level 336?
The board starts with zero native empties, so the chest is the only source of working buffers — without those three bottom-row bottles you cannot make any real progress on the middle mixers. Crack the chest first, then peel the middle mixers top-first, and only then start breaking the white mystery bottles.
