Magic Sort level guide
Magic Sort Level 373 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 373 is a three-tier, fourteen-bottle box-and-scroll board with two large wooden vault boxes spanning the middle row (M1, M2), three tall red scroll-wrap bottles in the top row (T1, T2, T3), a small dark corked bottle at T4, and five small standard bottles in the bottom row (B1 blue full, B2 orange full, B3 red-on-orange, B4 red-on-white, B5 brown-on-purple). Crack both wooden boxes first with a key-color pour — T4's dark brown onto the right box and B5's brown top onto the left box — so the middle row fills with five working slots (pink one-segment at M1, dark blue full at M2, two green fulls at M3 and M4, brown mixer at M5), then unroll the three scrolls at T1-T3 and pop the corked bottle at T4 in a controlled wave using tops from the bottom row, then drain the B3, B4 and B5 mixers top-first through the working empties, keep every working empty single-color, and top off the ten colors (red, blue, orange, white, brown, gray, pink, green, cyan, purple) so the board ends with ten full single-color lanes plus one leftover empty.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 373 — Full Solution
- Pour the small dark corked bottle at T4 onto the right wooden vault box's padlock to crack it open — the box releases a pre-stacked multi-bottle cluster with confetti, and T4 becomes a clean working empty ready to accept the next key pour.
- Pour the B5 brown top onto the left wooden vault box's padlock to crack it open — the box releases another pre-stacked multi-bottle cluster, and the middle row now holds five working bottles (pink one-segment at M1, dark blue full at M2, two green fulls at M3 and M4, brown mixer at M5).
- Bank blue at a freed M-slot by pouring the B1 blue top onto M2, then bank orange at another freed M-slot by pouring the B2 orange top onto M1, so the two longest single-color lanes in the bottom row are parked before any two-segment mixer is touched.
- Unroll the first red scroll wrap at T1 by pouring a matching color from the bottom row or from a freed box slot onto the scroll, so the scroll falls away and a hidden single-color bottle drops into the T1 slot.
- Unroll the remaining two red scroll wraps at T2 and T3 in the same quick wave, using clean tops from the bottom row and the freed M-slots, so all three scrolls are open and the top row now holds three revealed single-color bottles plus the working empty at T4.
- Pop the corked bottle at T4 (now a working empty) by pouring the matching color onto it, so the cork falls away and the hidden single-color bottle joins the sort and T4 collapses into a clean scratch buffer.
- Drain the B3 red-on-orange and B4 red-on-white mixers top-first — pour each red top onto a matching red lane, then pour each orange or white base onto a matching parked lane — so B3 and B4 collapse into working empties.
- Drain the B5 brown-on-purple mixer top-first — pour the brown top onto a matching brown lane, then pour the purple base onto a matching purple lane — and use the freed M-slots, the T4 working empty, and the collapsed B3-B5 empties to top off the ten colors (red, blue, orange, white, brown, gray, pink, green, cyan, purple) so the board ends with ten full single-color lanes plus one leftover empty.
Colors in this level:
Red, Blue, Orange, White, Brown, Gray, Pink, Green, Cyan, Purple
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring T4's dark brown onto the wrong box padlock, which strands the key color and leaves one of the wooden vaults sealed because T4 is the only bottle on the board that holds a free dark brown.
- Unrolling the scrolls at T1-T3 one at a time with non-matching tops, which strands the wrong color on the revealed bottle and costs an extra pour to clear before the bottle can join the sort.
- Over-pouring the B3 and B4 red-topped mixers into the wrong empties, which burns a buffer that holds red and strands orange or white across the bottom row because red is repeated across both mixers.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 373 (spoiler-free)
- Crack both wooden vault boxes first before touching any scroll wrap or corked bottle, since the boxes are the only way to get working slots in the middle row and the three scrolls plus the corked bottle all need the freed M-slots as receivers for their revealed single-color bottles.
- Pour T4's dark brown onto the right box's padlock first and B5's brown top onto the left box's padlock second, because both are key colors with no other home on the board and a mis-pour strands the box it was meant to crack.
- Unroll the three red scroll wraps at T1-T3 in one quick wave using clean tops from the bottom row, and pop the corked bottle at T4 last by pouring the matching color onto it, so the sort has enough working slots to absorb every reveal without burning a buffer.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A three-tier, fourteen-bottle board whose headline feature is two large wooden vault boxes (M1 left, M2 right) that together span the entire middle row, each one a wide striped wooden chest with vertical plank lines and a small padlock icon. Above the boxes, the top row carries three tall red scroll-wrap bottles (T1, T2, T3) — each a tall red scroll with rolled edges that hides a single-color bottle inside — plus a small dark corked bottle at T4 with a brown cork and a small dark ribbon, the only free dark-brown on the board and the visual key for the right-hand vault. Below the boxes, the bottom row is five small standard bottles: B1 = blue full (four layers), B2 = orange full (four layers), B3 = red-on-orange two-segment mixer, B4 = red-on-white two-segment mixer, and B5 = brown-on-purple two-segment mixer. There is no true starting empty; the closest thing is the small corked bottle at T4, and the two vault slots become the working buffers once they crack. The most visually dominant feature is the unbroken block of three red scroll wraps plus the dark corked bottle in the top row, and the second most dominant feature is the two wide wooden vault boxes in the middle row, which together cover the entire top half of the board and frame the play area.
- Goal
- Crack both wooden vault boxes with a key-color pour so they release their hidden pre-stacked bottles into the middle row, unroll the three red scroll wraps at T1-T3 by pouring the matching color onto each scroll, and pop the corked bottle at T4 with its key color so the board expands into a full fourteen-bottle sort. The chokepoint is the opening sequence: the two wooden boxes have to crack first so the middle row fills with five working slots, then the three scrolls and the corked bottle have to unroll or pop in a controlled wave so the revealed single-color bottles land in working positions. The second chokepoint is the red-on-orange and red-on-white mixers at B3 and B4 — they share a red top, and red has to be peeled onto a matching lane before the orange and white bases are moved, or red strands across the bottom row.
- Opening
- Start by cracking the right wooden vault box. Pour the small dark corked bottle at T4 onto the right box's padlock so the box pops with confetti and reveals a pre-stacked multi-bottle cluster, and T4 becomes a clean working empty. Then crack the left wooden vault box with a follow-up pour from the bottom row — pour the B5 brown top onto the left box's padlock, since brown is the only color that has no other home until the scrolls unroll. With both boxes open, the middle row now holds five working bottles (pink one-segment at M1, dark blue full at M2, two green fulls at M3 and M4, brown mixer at M5), and T4 plus the freed box slots give you four working positions to start peeling the bottom row. Bank blue at a freed M-slot by pouring the B1 blue top, then bank orange at another freed M-slot by pouring the B2 orange top, so the two longest single-color lanes in the bottom row are parked before any two-segment mixer is touched.
- Danger Zone
- Pouring the small corked bottle at T4 onto the wrong box padlock strands the key color — the dark brown at T4 has no other home on the board, and a mis-pour burns the only key for the right box. The second trap is unrolling the scrolls at T1-T3 in the wrong order: each scroll needs the matching color to unroll cleanly, and unrolling a scroll onto a non-matching top strands the wrong color on the revealed bottle, which costs an extra pour to clear. The third trap is over-pouring the B3 and B4 red-topped mixers into the wrong empties — red is repeated across both mixers, so a buffer that holds red cannot also receive orange or white without a clear-out pour in between. The fourth trap is the brown mixer at B5: the brown top has to land on a freed box slot or on a parked brown lane before the purple base is moved, or the purple base has no other receiver and the sort stalls. The three scrolls also have to be unrolled in one quick wave — unroll one scroll first and the later scrolls end up behind revealed bottles that have no path for the next scroll-pour.
- Mechanics
- A three-tier, fourteen-bottle box-and-scroll board with no frozen, magic, star, paint, or wrap tiles. The only special tile types are the two large wooden vault boxes in the middle row (each one a wide striped wooden chest sealed behind a padlock that pops on a key-color pour, releasing a pre-stacked multi-bottle cluster into the middle row) and the three tall red scroll-wrap bottles at T1-T3 (each one a tall red scroll with rolled edges that hides a single-color bottle inside, unrolled by pouring the matching color onto the scroll). The chokepoint is opening sequence discipline: crack both wooden boxes first to fill the middle row with five working slots, then unroll the three scrolls and pop the corked bottle at T4 in a controlled wave using tops from the bottom row and the freed box slots, then drain the B3, B4 and B5 mixers top-first through the working empties, keep every working empty single-color, and top off the ten colors (red, blue, orange, white, brown, gray, pink, green, cyan, purple) so the board ends with ten full single-color lanes plus one leftover empty.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the first pour in Magic Sort Level 373?
Pour the small dark corked bottle at T4 onto the right wooden vault box's padlock to crack it open. The box releases a pre-stacked multi-bottle cluster with confetti and T4 becomes a clean working empty; this is the only dark brown on the board and the only key that opens the right box, so it has to be the very first move before any other box or scroll is touched.
How do the three red scroll-wrap bottles at T1-T3 work in Magic Sort Level 373?
Each of the three red scroll wraps at T1-T3 is a tall red scroll with rolled edges that hides a single-color bottle inside, sealed until the matching color is poured onto the scroll, at which point the scroll falls away and the hidden single-color bottle drops into the slot. The scrolls do not require a specific matching color to unroll, but unrolling a scroll onto a non-matching top strands the wrong color on the revealed bottle, which costs an extra pour to clear, so unroll all three scrolls in one quick wave using clean tops from the bottom row and the freed M-slots.
Why pop the corked bottle at T4 last in Level 373?
The small corked bottle at T4 is the key for the right wooden vault box, so it has to be poured onto the box first to crack the box open. After the box opens, T4 becomes a working empty, and the cork pops when the matching color is poured onto it later in the sort. Skipping the box pour strands the right vault because T4 is the only bottle on the board that holds a free dark brown, and popping the cork before the M-slots are filled strands the revealed single-color bottle with no working slot to land on.
