Magic Sort level guide
Magic Sort Level 359 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 359 is a three-tier, twelve-position rocket-popping + tank-draining board with four tall white sealed rockets in the top row (T1 green-key, T2 orange-key, T3 blue/cyan-key, T4 orange-key), a small teal fuel tank in M3 that starts at 5/42, and seven standard 3-seg mixers (M1 green-blue-blue, M2 red-orange-blue, M4 blue-orange-purple, B1 blue-orange-red, B2 blue-orange-red, B3 green-orange-purple, B4 orange-red-blue). Pop the T2 and T4 orange-key rockets first using B4's orange top, then pop T1 with green and T3 with blue, drain the M3 fuel tank from 5/42 to 0 in parallel, and route every other mixer top-first so the board ends with nine full single-color lanes (yellow, brown, cyan, blue, purple, pink, green, orange, red) plus the emptied M3 fuel tank and one leftover empty.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 359 — Full Solution
- Pour the B4 orange top onto the T2 orange-key rocket to pop it and reveal its pre-stacked 4-color bottle (blue on top), then pour the B4 red top onto a free B1 or B2 spot so red begins to bank.
- Pour the B1 or B2 remaining orange top onto the T4 orange-key rocket to pop the second orange-key rocket (revealing a 4-color bottle with pink on top), then walk the M1 region's green top onto the M3 fuel tank so the tank begins to drain.
- Pop the T1 green-key rocket by pouring the parked green back onto T1, then pop the T3 blue-key rocket with a clean blue pour from M4 so all four rockets release their hidden 4-color bottles and the play area opens up.
- Drain the M1 green-blue-blue mixer top-first: pour green onto a matching green lane, then blue onto a matching blue destination, then blue again onto the same blue lane so M1 collapses into a working empty.
- Drain the M2 red-orange-blue mixer top-first: pour red onto the parked red lane from step 1, orange onto a matching orange lane, then blue onto a matching blue lane so M2 collapses into a working empty.
- Drain the M4 blue-orange-purple mixer top-first: pour blue onto the parked blue lane, orange onto a matching orange lane, purple onto a matching purple lane so M4 collapses into a working empty.
- Drain the bottom-row mixers (B1, B2, B3, B4) top-first, peeling each exposed top color onto a matching parked lane and using the freed rocket slots plus the emptied M3 fuel tank as single-color scratch buffers.
- Top off the nine colors (yellow, brown, cyan, blue, purple, pink, green, orange, red) so every bottle ends on a single color, with the board closing on nine full lanes plus the emptied M3 fuel tank icon and one leftover empty.
Colors in this level:
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Pink, Brown, Cyan
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring an orange pour on any lane before both T2 and T4 rockets are popped, which strands one rocket closed because orange is needed twice and B4's orange top is the cleanest spare.
- Pouring a non-matching color into the M3 fuel tank, which strands the tank and blocks the M3 slot because the 5/42 contents can only drain back to a matching lane.
- Pouring a wrong color onto any rocket, which still pops the rocket but strands the wrong color on top of the revealed bottle and costs an extra pour to clear before the bottle can join the sort.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 359 (spoiler-free)
- Pop the T2 and T4 orange-key rockets first using B4's orange top, since orange is needed twice and any other orange pour strands one rocket closed for the rest of the run.
- Drain the M3 fuel tank in parallel with the rocket pops by pouring its current color back out onto a matching lane as soon as a destination is available, so the tank does not block the M3 slot.
- Keep every freed rocket slot and the emptied M3 fuel tank as single-color scratch buffers, and clear each buffer onto a real stack before reusing it for a different color.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Three tiers, twelve bottle positions, with the level title 'Stufe 359' tagged 'SUPER SCHWER' (super hard). The top row is four tall white rocket-shaped sealed bottles — T1 with a small green key patch on the cap, T2 with a small orange key patch, T3 with a small blue/cyan key patch, and T4 with a small orange key patch. The middle row is four elements — M1 a green-blue-blue three-segment mixer, M2 a red-orange-blue three-segment mixer, M3 a small teal fuel tank carrying a 5/42 fill meter, and M4 a blue-orange-purple three-segment mixer. The bottom row is four standard three-segment mixers — B1 blue-orange-red, B2 blue-orange-red, B3 green-orange-purple, and B4 orange-red-blue. There are no true starting empties; the only spare capacity is the M3 fuel tank which holds a starting 5 of 42 segments. The most visually dominant feature is the unbroken row of four white rocket bottles across the top, and the second is the M3 fuel tank in the center of the middle row with its visible 5/42 counter on the body.
- Goal
- Pop all four top-row rockets by pouring each one's key color onto its cap (green for T1, orange for T2, blue/cyan for T3, orange for T4), drain the M3 fuel tank from 5/42 down to 0, and route every other mixer top-first so the board ends with nine full single-color lanes (yellow, brown, cyan, blue, purple, pink, green, orange, red) plus the emptied M3 fuel tank icon and one leftover empty. The chokepoint is key-color discipline: orange is needed twice (for T2 and T4), so the two orange pours have to be saved for the rockets before any orange is moved into a working lane. The second chokepoint is the M3 fuel tank — its leftover segments have to be drained in parallel with the rocket pops, otherwise the tank's contents block the M3 slot for the rest of the sort.
- Opening
- Start with the B4 orange-red-blue mixer. Pour the B4 orange top onto the T2 orange-key rocket to pop the rocket and reveal its pre-stacked 4-color bottle (blue on top), then pour the B4 red top onto a free B1 or B2 spot so red begins to bank. Pour the B1 or B2 remaining orange top onto the T4 orange-key rocket to pop the second orange-key rocket (revealing a 4-color bottle with pink on top), then walk the M1 region's green top onto the M3 fuel tank so the tank begins to drain. Pop the T1 green rocket by pouring the parked green back onto T1, then pop the T3 blue rocket with a clean blue pour from M4 so all four rockets release their hidden 4-color bottles and the play area opens up to its full 12-lane workspace.
- Danger Zone
- The two orange pours (T2 and T4 rockets) are the tightest constraint — orange appears in B1, B2 and B4 mixers, and using an orange pour on any lane before both rockets are popped strands one rocket closed for the rest of the run. The second trap is the M3 fuel tank — once a non-matching color is poured into M3, the tank strands the rest of the sort because its 5/42 contents can only be drained back to a matching lane. The third trap is the rocket pops themselves — pouring a wrong color onto a rocket still pops the rocket, but the wrong color is stranded on top of the revealed bottle, which costs an extra pour to clear before the bottle can join the sort. The fourth trap is the orange-red-blue three-segment mixers in B1, B2 and B4, which all share a red base, so collapsing red into one lane before the B4 orange is moved for T2 leaves no spare red home for the rocket reveal.
- Mechanics
- A three-tier, twelve-position rocket-popping + tank-draining board whose only special tiles are the four tall white rocket-shaped sealed bottles in the top row (T1 green-key, T2 orange-key, T3 blue/cyan-key, T4 orange-key) and the one small teal fuel tank in M3. Each rocket pops when its key color is poured onto the cap and reveals a pre-stacked 4-color bottle; the orange-key rockets come in a pair, so the two orange pours must be banked for the rockets before any orange is moved into a working lane. The M3 fuel tank starts at 5/42 and has to be drained to 0 by pouring its current color back out onto a matching lane in parallel with the rocket pops. The chokepoint is key-color discipline plus tank discipline: pop T2 and T4 first using B4's orange, then pop T1 with green and T3 with blue, drain the M3 tank in parallel, and top off the nine colors (yellow, brown, cyan, blue, purple, pink, green, orange, red) so the board ends with nine full single-color lanes plus the emptied M3 fuel tank and one leftover empty.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the first pour in Magic Sort Level 359?
Pour the B4 orange top onto the T2 orange-key rocket to pop it and reveal its pre-stacked 4-color bottle (blue on top). Orange is needed twice on this board (for T2 and T4), so B4's orange top is the only spare orange at the start and it has to be used to crack the first rocket before any other orange is moved into a working lane.
How does the M3 fuel tank work in Magic Sort Level 359?
The M3 fuel tank starts at 5/42 fill and has to be drained to 0 by the end of the run. The tank can only receive its own current color back out, so the player has to pour the tank's current color back onto a matching lane in parallel with the rocket pops, otherwise the leftover segments block the M3 slot for the rest of the sort and the level stalls before the nine single-color lanes can be topped off.
