Magic Sort level guide
Magic Sort Level 341 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 341 is a two-tier, eight-element box-and-routing board with two wooden boxes (T1 red-locked, B1 blue/purple-locked), two single-layer key carriers (T4 with one red and B4 with one purple) and three mixers between them (T2 pink-yellow-blue-brown, T3 purple-blue-brown and B2 pink-yellow-green-blue-purple). The only red on the board is the single layer on T4 and the only free purple is the single on B4, so pour T4's red into the top box first and B4's purple into the bottom box second to crack both at the start. Once the boxes release their pre-stacked 5-color contents, drain T2, T3 and B2 top-first through the freed T4 and B4 empties, keep every working empty single-color, and top off the nine colors (red, pink, yellow, blue, brown, purple, green, orange, cyan) so the board ends with nine full single-color lanes plus one leftover empty.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 341 — Full Solution
- Pour T4's single red into the top red-locked box (T1) to crack it open — the box releases a pre-stacked 5-layer Green-Pink-Blue-Red-Red bottle and T4 becomes a clean working empty.
- Pour B4's single purple into the bottom blue/purple-locked box (B1) to crack it open — the box releases a pre-stacked 5-layer Red-Pink-Yellow-Green-Blue bottle and B4 becomes a second working empty.
- Drain the T2 pink-yellow-blue-brown four-segment mixer top-first: pour Pink onto a matching Pink destination, then Yellow onto a matching Yellow lane, then Blue onto a matching Blue lane, then Brown onto a matching Brown lane so T2 collapses into a working empty.
- Drain the T3 purple-blue-brown three-segment mixer top-first: pour Purple onto a matching Purple destination, then Blue onto the same Blue lane used in step 3, then Brown onto the same Brown lane used in step 3 so T3 collapses into a working empty.
- Drain the B2 pink-yellow-green-blue-purple five-segment mixer top-first: peel each exposed top color onto its matching lane from steps 3 and 4, keeping the freed T4 and B4 as single-color buffers when no matching top is available yet.
- Pair the two 5-color box bottles (top box's Green-Pink-Blue-Red-Red and bottom box's Red-Pink-Yellow-Green-Blue) by pouring each exposed top color onto a matching parked lane from steps 3 to 5, then clear every working empty onto a real stack before reusing it for a different color.
- Top off the nine colors (red, pink, yellow, blue, brown, purple, green, orange, cyan) so the board ends with nine full single-color lanes plus one leftover empty, and make sure the last cleared empty is the slot that finishes empty.
Colors in this level:
Red, Pink, Yellow, Blue, Brown, Purple, Green, Orange, Cyan
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring T4's red into anything other than the top red-locked box, which strands the top box because red has no other home on the board.
- Pouring B4's purple into anything other than the bottom blue/purple-locked box, which strands the bottom box because B4 is the only bottle that holds a free purple.
- Pouring a top color from one 5-color mixer into the other 5-color mixer when the exposed tops do not match, which buries pink, blue or green and strands the rest of the sort.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 341 (spoiler-free)
- Pour T4's single red into the top red-locked box first, since red has no other home on the board and the top box is the only consumer that takes red as a key color.
- Pour B4's single purple into the bottom blue/purple-locked box second, since B4 is the only bottle that already holds a free purple and the bottom box is the matching consumer.
- Keep every working empty single-color after the boxes crack, and clear a buffer onto a real stack before reusing it for a different color.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Two tiers, eight bottle positions, no corks, wraps or magic bottles. The top row is four elements — T1 = wooden box with a red padlock (needs a red pour to open), T2 = pink-yellow-blue-brown four-segment mixer, T3 = purple-blue-brown three-segment mixer, and T4 = a small near-empty flask with a single red layer on top (the only free red on the board). The bottom row is four elements — B1 = wooden box with a blue/purple padlock (needs a blue or purple pour to open), B2 = pink-yellow-green-blue-purple five-segment mixer, B3 = cyan-yellow two-segment mixer, and B4 = a single-purple one-segment bottle (the only free purple on the board). Both boxes have 5-layer capacity, which is one layer more than the regular 4-layer mixers, so the box reveals land as a wider stack than the surrounding bottles. There is no true starting empty; T4 is the closest thing with a single red sitting on an otherwise empty flask, and B4 holds the only free purple. The most visually dominant starter is the B2 pink-yellow-green-blue-purple five-segment mixer, because it is the only bottle in the bottom row that already holds green, and green has no other home until the top box cracks open.
- Goal
- Crack both boxes with their key colors, drain every mixer top-first, and top off the nine colors (red, pink, yellow, blue, brown, purple, green, orange, cyan) so the board ends with nine full single-color lanes plus one leftover empty. The chokepoint is opening the two boxes: the top red-locked box needs a red pour, and the bottom blue/purple-locked box needs a blue or purple pour. The only red on the board is the single layer on T4, and the only free purple is on B4, so the first wave of pours has to send T4's red into the top box and B4's purple into the bottom box before any other top color is moved. Once both boxes are cracked, the player has T4 and B4 as their two small empties plus the two freed box slots, giving four working positions to drain the rest of the mixers.
- Opening
- Start with the single red layer on T4 (the small near-empty). Pour T4's red into the top red-locked box to crack it open — the box releases a pre-stacked 5-layer Green-Pink-Blue-Red-Red bottle, and T4 becomes a clean working empty. Then pour B4's single purple into the bottom blue/purple-locked box to crack it open — the box releases a pre-stacked 5-layer Red-Pink-Yellow-Green-Blue bottle, and B4 becomes a second working empty. With both boxes open, you have T4 plus B4 as your two small empties plus the two freed box slots (now holding the 5-color box contents), so four working positions are available to peel the remaining mixers top-first.
- Danger Zone
- The two 5-color mixers (the top box's Green-Pink-Blue-Red-Red and the bottom row's Pink-Yellow-Green-Blue-Purple) overlap heavily on pink, blue and green, so pouring a top color from one 5-color bottle into a 5-color bottle that does not match the exposed top strands the rest of the sort. The second trap is over-pouring the T2 and T3 top mixers into the wrong empties — Pink, Blue and Brown are all repeated across the top mixers, so a buffer that holds Pink cannot also receive Blue or Brown without a clear-out pour in between. The third trap is wasting the two key colors (T4's red and B4's purple) on anything other than the matching box — red has no other home on the board, and the only free purple is on B4, so a mis-pour strands the box it was meant to crack.
- Mechanics
- A two-tier, eight-element box-and-routing board with no corks, wraps or magic bottles. The only special tiles are the two wooden boxes — the top red-locked box (5-layer capacity, opens to Green-Pink-Blue-Red-Red) and the bottom blue/purple-locked box (5-layer capacity, opens to Red-Pink-Yellow-Green-Blue). The chokepoint is key-color discipline: the only red is the single layer on T4, the only free purple is the single on B4, and both must be poured into the matching box before any mixer top is moved. Once both boxes crack, drain the 5-color and 4-color mixers top-first through the freed T4 plus B4 empties, keep every working empty single-color, and top off the nine colors so the board ends with nine full single-color lanes plus one leftover empty.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the first pour in Magic Sort Level 341?
Pour T4's single red into the top red-locked box (T1) to crack it open. The box releases a pre-stacked 5-layer Green-Pink-Blue-Red-Red bottle and T4 becomes a clean working empty; this is the only red on the board and the only key that opens the top box, so it has to be the very first move.
Why does the bottom blue/purple-locked box need B4's purple rather than a blue pour?
B4 is the only bottle on the board that already holds a free purple, so using B4 as the key is the cleanest way to crack the bottom box without spending a working empty on a different color. A blue pour would work too, but blue also lives in the T2 and T3 top mixers, so spending blue on the box instead of on a matching lane strands one of those mixers; purple is the single-use key that has no other home.
