Magic Sort level guide
Magic Sort Level 371 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 371 is a SUPER SCHWER 2-tier, 10-position box-plus-mystery-and-route board with one small dark wooden box at T5 (red padlock) and two '?' mystery bottles at T3 and M2, four visible two-segment mixers (T1 blue-yellow, T2 red-yellow, M1 blue-red, M3 green-yellow, B1 pink-yellow) and two starting empties at B2 and B3. Pour M1's red onto the T5 box first to crack it open, peel the T1 and T2 paired-color mixers top-first through the two starting empties plus the freed box slot, pour onto the T3 and M2 '?' mystery bottles last so the revealed colors land in working slots, and top off the eight colors (red, blue, yellow, pink, green, purple, orange, brown) so the board ends with eight full single-color bottles plus the two starting empties.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 371 — Full Solution
- Pour M1's red top onto the T5 wooden box to crack it open — the box releases a pre-stacked multi-color bottle into the T5 slot and the T5 slot becomes a working empty, and the red key is used up.
- Drain the T1 blue-yellow two-segment mixer top-first: pour T1's yellow top onto a freed working empty to start a yellow lane, then pour T1's now-exposed blue top onto a matching blue destination, so T1 collapses into a working empty.
- Drain the T2 red-yellow two-segment mixer top-first: pour T2's red top onto a parked red lane or onto the box-released bottle, then pour T2's yellow top onto the parked yellow lane from step 2, so T2 collapses into a working empty.
- Drain the M3 green-yellow two-segment mixer top-first: pour M3's green top onto a matching green destination, then pour M3's yellow top onto the parked yellow lane, so M3 collapses into a working empty.
- Drain the B1 pink-yellow two-segment mixer top-first: pour B1's pink top onto a matching pink destination, then pour B1's yellow top onto the parked yellow lane, so B1 collapses into a working empty.
- Pour onto the T3 and M2 '?' mystery bottles last: pour a matching top onto each so the hidden colors reveal and land on parked lanes from steps 2 to 5, and the two '?' bottles become regular single-color lanes.
- Top off the eight colors (red, blue, yellow, pink, green, purple, orange, brown) so the board ends with eight full single-color bottles plus the two starting empties at B2 and B3.
Colors in this level:
Red, Blue, Yellow, Pink, Green, Purple, Orange, Brown
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring M1's red anywhere other than the T5 wooden box, which strands the box because red has no other home on the board.
- Pouring T1's yellow or T2's red top onto a non-matching destination, which strands blue and yellow across the top row because both colors have only one matching lane each on the board.
- Pouring a mismatched color onto the T3 or M2 '?' mystery bottle, which strands the wrong color on top of the revealed hidden bottle and costs an extra pour to clear.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 371 (spoiler-free)
- Pour M1's red onto the T5 box first, since M1 is the only bottle that holds a free red and T5 is the only red-key consumer on the board.
- Peel the T1 yellow and T2 red tops onto parked lanes first so the paired blue and yellow bases can land cleanly without stranding across the top row.
- Pour onto the T3 and M2 '?' mystery bottles last and use matching tops so the revealed hidden colors land on parked lanes, not mismatched destinations.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Two tiers, ten bottle positions, no wraps, paint cans, frozen tiles or star flasks. The top row is five elements — T1 = blue-yellow two-segment mixer, T2 = red-yellow two-segment mixer, T3 = dark single-segment '?' mystery bottle (hidden color revealed on first pour), T4 = cyan one-segment, and T5 = small dark wooden box with a red padlock. The middle row is three elements — M1 = blue-red two-segment mixer, M2 = green-purple two-segment mixer with a small '?' tag on top, and M3 = green-yellow two-segment mixer. The bottom row is three elements — B1 = pink-yellow two-segment mixer, B2 = small near-empty, and B3 = small near-empty. There are exactly two starting empties (B2 and B3) plus the locked T5 box sitting in a usable slot, so once the box cracks and the '?' bottles reveal, the player has three working positions. The most visually dominant feature is the dense 3x3 grid of two-segment mixers in the lower portion, and the second most dominant is the dark '?' mystery bottle in T3 which sits between the two top mixers.
- Goal
- Crack the T5 wooden box with the only red on the board, pour onto the T3 and M2 '?' mystery bottles to reveal their hidden colors, then route every color from the four visible two-segment mixers (T1 blue-yellow, T2 red-yellow, M1 blue-red, M3 green-yellow, B1 pink-yellow) plus the box release and the '?' reveals into single-color lanes through the two starting empties B2 and B3 plus the freed T5 box slot. The chokepoint is the T5 box opening plus the '?' reveal order: the only red on the board is M1's red top, so the very first pour has to send M1's red into the T5 wooden box. The second chokepoint is the T1 / T2 paired-color mixers: blue and yellow both repeat on the board, so the T1 yellow and T2 yellow tops have to land on matching destinations before T1's blue and T2's red bases are touched, or blue and yellow strand across the top row.
- Opening
- Pour M1's red top onto the T5 wooden box to crack it open — the box releases a pre-stacked multi-color bottle into the T5 slot and the T5 slot becomes a working empty. Then pour T1's yellow top onto a freed working empty to start a yellow lane, pour T1's now-exposed blue top onto a matching blue destination, and pour T2's red top onto the parked red lane from the box release. With three working positions (B2, B3, T5 box slot), peel the remaining two-segment mixers top-first and pour onto the T3 and M2 '?' mystery bottles last so their hidden colors land in working slots.
- Danger Zone
- Pouring M1's red anywhere other than the T5 wooden box strands the box because red has no other home on the board. The second trap is over-pouring the T1 blue-yellow and T2 red-yellow mixers into non-matching destinations: T1's yellow top and T2's red top have to land on parked yellow and red lanes before T1's blue and T2's red bases are moved, or blue and yellow strand across the top row. The third trap is pouring a mismatched color onto the T3 and M2 '?' mystery bottles: the bottles reveal whatever color is poured on them, and a mismatched reveal strands the wrong color on top of the hidden bottle which then needs an extra pour to clear.
- Mechanics
- A 2-tier, 10-position box-plus-mystery-and-route board with no wraps, paint cans, frozen tiles or star flasks. The only special tiles are the T5 small dark wooden box (red padlock) plus the two '?' mystery bottles at T3 and M2. The chokepoint is box-opening wave plus '?' reveal discipline plus paired-color discipline: crack the T5 box with M1's red first, peel the T1 / T2 paired-color mixers top-first, then pour onto the T3 and M2 '?' mystery bottles last so the revealed colors land in working slots, and top off the eight colors (red, blue, yellow, pink, green, purple, orange, brown) so the board ends with eight full single-color bottles plus the two starting empties.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does M1's red top have to be the very first pour in Magic Sort Level 371?
M1 is the only bottle on the board that holds a free red and the T5 wooden box is the only red-key consumer, so the very first pour has to send M1's red into the T5 box. Pouring M1's red anywhere else strands the box and the rest of the run stalls, because red has no other home on the board before the box cracks.
When should the T3 and M2 '?' mystery bottles be poured in Magic Sort Level 371?
The T3 and M2 '?' mystery bottles should be poured last, after every visible mixer has been peeled and parked lanes exist for the revealed colors. Pouring a '?' bottle too early strands the revealed color on top of the hidden bottle with no parked lane to land on, and the mismatched reveal costs an extra pour to clear before the bottle can join the sort.
