Magic Sort level guide
Magic Sort Level 351 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 351 is a two-tier, ten-position box-and-routing board with one small dark wooden box in B3 (red padlock) plus four mixers (T3 pink-red-yellow, B1 yellow-orange-white, B5 green-pink-brown, and the box's released 5-layer bottle) and two starting empties at B2 and B4. The only red on the board is the single layer on T4, so pour T4's red into the B3 box first to crack it open, then use the freed B3 slot together with B2 and B4 to drain T3, B1 and B5 top-first, keep every working empty single-color, and top off the seven colors (brown, pink, red, yellow, blue, orange, green) so the board ends with seven full single-color bottles plus three leftover empties.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 351 — Full Solution
- Pour T4's single red into the B3 wooden box to crack it open — the box breaks and releases a pre-stacked 5-layer multi-color bottle into the B3 slot, turning B3 into a working empty.
- Drain the T3 pink-red-yellow three-segment mixer top-first onto the freed B3 box slot: pour T3's red onto the new 5-color bottle, then T3's yellow onto a matching yellow destination, then T3's pink onto a matching pink destination so T3 collapses into a working empty.
- Drain the B1 yellow-orange-white three-segment mixer top-first: pour B1's yellow onto a matching yellow lane, then B1's orange onto a matching orange destination, then B1's white onto the freed T3 working empty so B1 collapses into a fourth working empty.
- Drain the B5 green-pink-brown three-segment mixer top-first: pour B5's green onto a matching green destination, then B5's pink onto the same pink destination used in step 2, then B5's brown onto a matching brown destination so B5 collapses into a working empty.
- Route the box-released 5-layer bottle in B3 top-first: peel each exposed top color onto a matching parked lane from steps 2 to 4, and use the freed T3, B1 and B5 slots as single-color buffers when no matching top is available yet.
- Pair the remaining two starting empties (B2 and B4) with the four single-lane tops (T1 brown, T2 pink, T4 red, T5 yellow) by pouring each one-segment top onto its matching parked lane, so the top row collapses into four full single-color lanes.
- Top off the seven colors (brown, pink, red, yellow, blue, orange, green) so the board ends with seven full single-color bottles plus three leftover empties, and make sure the last cleared empty is the slot that finishes empty.
Colors in this level:

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring T4's red anywhere other than the B3 box, which strands the box because red has no other home on the board.
- Pouring the box-released 5-color bottle top-first into a non-matching lane, which buries a still-needed color under the wrong head and costs an extra pour to clear.
- Letting B2 or B4 hold two different colors at the same time, which burns the only two true starting empties and stalls the rest of the sort.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 351 (spoiler-free)
- Pour T4's single red into the B3 box before touching any mixer top, since T4 is the only bottle that holds a free red and the box is the only red-key consumer on the board.
- Use the freed B3 box slot as the natural receiver for T3's red top, so red lands cleanly on the new 5-layer bottle instead of getting buried in another mixer.
- Keep B2 and B4 single-color and clear any multi-color buffer onto a real stack before reusing it for a different color, because B2 and B4 are the only true starting empties.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Two tiers, ten bottle positions, no corks, wraps or magic bottles. The top row is five elements — T1 = brown one-segment, T2 = pink one-segment, T3 = pink-red-yellow three-segment mixer, T4 = red one-segment, and T5 = yellow one-segment. The bottom row is five elements — B1 = yellow-orange-white three-segment mixer, B2 = small near-empty, B3 = small dark wooden box with a red padlock (needs a red pour to open), B4 = small near-empty, and B5 = green-pink-brown three-segment mixer. There are exactly two starting empties (B2 and B4) plus the locked B3 box sitting in a usable slot, so once the box cracks the player has three working positions. The box has the standard 5-layer capacity, so its revealed bottle lands as a wider stack than the surrounding 3-layer mixers. The most visually dominant starter is T3, because T3 is the only bottle in the top row that holds red at the base while the only free red sits as a single layer on T4.
- Goal
- Crack the B3 box with a red pour from T4, then route every color from the four visible mixers (T3, B1, B5, and the box release) into single-color lanes through the two starting empties B2 and B4 plus the freed B3 slot. The chokepoint is the box opening: T4 is the only bottle that holds a free red and red has no other consumer on the board, so the very first pour has to be T4's red into the B3 wooden box. The box releases a 5-layer multi-color bottle into B3, and that released bottle plus the two near-empties (B2 and B4) gives the player three working positions to drain T3, B1 and B5 top-first, then top off the seven colors (brown, pink, red, yellow, blue, orange, green) so the board ends with seven full single-color bottles plus three leftover empties.
- Opening
- Pour T4's single red into the B3 wooden box to crack it open — the box breaks with a soft click and releases a pre-stacked 5-layer multi-color bottle into the B3 slot, and the box slot becomes a working empty. Then drain the top of T3 (the pink-red-yellow mixer) first by pouring its red top onto the just-opened B3 box slot, so red lands on the new 5-layer bottle without burying another color. With B2, B3 (working empty) and B4 available, peel T3's red, then yellow, then pink onto matching lanes, and use the freed B3 slot as the natural receiver when no matching top exists yet.
- Danger Zone
- Pouring T4's red anywhere other than the B3 box strands the box, because red has no other home on the board — the only red is the single layer on T4, and the box is the only red-key consumer. The second trap is pouring the box's revealed 5-color bottle top-first into the wrong lane: the revealed bottle sits in B3 and any mismatched top pour buries a still-needed color under the wrong head. The third trap is mis-using B2 and B4 as multi-color buffers: B2 and B4 are the only true starting empties, so each must stay single-color, and a buffer that holds pink cannot also receive yellow or brown without a clear-out pour in between.
- Mechanics
- A two-tier, ten-position box-and-routing board with no corks, wraps or magic bottles. The only special tile is the small dark wooden box in B3, which is locked with a red padlock and needs a red pour to crack. The chokepoint is key-color discipline: T4's single red is the only key, and the box has to be opened before any mixer top is moved. Once the box opens, the released 5-layer bottle plus the two starting empties (B2 and B4) gives three working positions to drain T3, B1 and B5 top-first, keep every working empty single-color, and top off the seven colors (brown, pink, red, yellow, blue, orange, green) so the board ends with seven full single-color bottles plus three leftover empties.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the B3 box have to be the first target in Magic Sort Level 351?
The only red on the board is the single layer on T4, and the B3 box is the only red-key consumer, so T4's red has nowhere else to go. Pouring it into the box is also the only way to release the pre-stacked 5-layer multi-color bottle that the rest of the sort leans on for working capacity.
How many working empties does the player have after the B3 box opens in Magic Sort Level 351?
Three. The B3 slot becomes a working empty once the box releases its 5-layer bottle, and the two starting near-empties at B2 and B4 stay available. Together with the new box slot, those three positions are enough to drain T3, B1 and B5 top-first without burning a buffer.
