Magic Sort Level 376 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 376 is a 2-tier, 10-position mystery-reveal-and-route board with two tall white '?' mystery bottles anchoring the left side of each row (T1 and M1) plus four visible two-segment mixers (T2 green-cyan, T3 orange-red) and four middle-row single-color starters (M2 yellow, M3 pink, M4 purple, M5 brown). Pour T5's yellow onto T1 and T4's red onto M1 first to reveal the two hidden single-color bottles, then peel the T2 and T3 paired-color mixers top-first through the freed '?' slots and the matching single-color starters, keep every working empty single-color, and top off the eight colors (red, yellow, green, cyan, orange, blue, pink, brown) so the board ends with eight full single-color lanes plus the two starting single-color starters.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 376 — Full Solution
- Pour T5's single yellow top onto the T1 '?' mystery bottle to reveal the hidden color — the '?' bottle releases a hidden single-color bottle into the T1 slot and T1 becomes a working empty, and the yellow key is used up.
- Pour T4's single red top onto the M1 '?' mystery bottle to reveal the second hidden color, so the M1 slot becomes a second working empty, and the red key is used up.
- Drain the T2 green-cyan two-segment mixer top-first: pour T2's green top onto a matching green destination (or onto the freed T1 slot as a green buffer), then pour T2's cyan top onto a matching cyan destination, so T2 collapses into a working empty.
- Drain the T3 orange-red two-segment mixer top-first: pour T3's orange top onto a matching orange destination, then pour T3's red top onto a matching red destination, so T3 collapses into a working empty.
- Pair the four middle-row single-color starters (M2 yellow, M3 pink, M4 purple, M5 brown) with the parked single-color lanes from steps 3 to 4, so the middle row collapses into four full single-color lanes.
- Route the two revealed '?' bottles (T1 and M1) top-first: peel each exposed top color onto a matching parked lane from steps 3 to 5, and use the freed T2, T3 and middle-row slots as single-color buffers when no matching top is available yet.
- Top off the eight colors (red, yellow, green, cyan, orange, blue, pink, brown) so the board ends with eight full single-color lanes plus the two starting single-color starters, and make sure the last cleared empty is the slot that finishes empty.
Colors in this level:
Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Orange, Blue, Pink, Brown
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring a mismatched color onto either the T1 or M1 '?' mystery bottle, which strands the wrong color on top of the revealed hidden bottle and costs an extra pour to clear before the bottle can join the sort.
- Burning the T1 or M1 revealed '?' slot on a mismatched pour before a matching lane exists, which strands the first home for a revealed color and stalls the rest of the run.
- Pouring T2's cyan or T3's red top onto a non-matching destination, which strands cyan and red across the top row because both colors have only one matching lane each on the board.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 376 (spoiler-free)
- Pour T5's yellow onto the T1 '?' bottle and T4's red onto the M1 '?' bottle first, since both '?' bottles release their hidden color onto the matching yellow and red lanes and the reveals land cleanly on parked destinations.
- After the '?' reveals, peel T2's green and T3's orange tops onto parked lanes first so the paired cyan and red bases can land on matching destinations without stranding across the top row.
- Keep the revealed T1 and M1 slots as single-color buffers and never pour two different colors into the same slot, since there are zero starting empties on this board.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Two tiers, ten bottle positions, no corks, wraps, boxes, paint cans, frozen tiles or magic bottles. The top row is five elements — T1 = tall white '?' mystery bottle (hidden color revealed on first pour), T2 = green-cyan two-segment mixer, T3 = orange-red two-segment mixer, T4 = red one-segment, and T5 = yellow one-segment. The middle row is five elements — M1 = tall white '?' mystery bottle (second mystery), M2 = yellow one-segment, M3 = pink one-segment, M4 = purple one-segment, and M5 = brown one-segment. The bottom row is empty in the original layout; the two '?' mystery bottles are the only special tiles on the board and there are zero starting empties. The most visually dominant feature is the pair of tall white '?' mystery bottles that anchor the left side of both rows, and the second most dominant feature is the T2 / T3 paired-color mixers on the top row that share colors with the middle-row single-color starters.
- Goal
- Pour onto the two '?' mystery bottles to reveal their hidden single-color contents, then route every color from the four visible two-segment mixers (T2 green-cyan, T3 orange-red) plus the revealed '?' colors plus the four middle-row single-color starters (M2 yellow, M3 pink, M4 purple, M5 brown) plus T4 red and T5 yellow into single-color lanes. The chokepoint is the '?' reveal order: each '?' bottle needs a matching color poured onto its cap to reveal the hidden color, and a mismatched pour strands the wrong color on top of the revealed bottle. The second chokepoint is the T2 green-cyan and T3 orange-red paired-color mixers: each has a paired color that already exists in the middle-row single-color starters, so the mixers' tops have to land on the matching starter before the paired base is touched, or the paired colors strand across the top row.
- Opening
- Pour T5's single yellow top onto the T1 '?' mystery bottle to reveal the hidden color — the '?' bottle releases a hidden single-color bottle into the T1 slot and T1 becomes a working empty. Then pour T4's single red top onto the M1 '?' mystery bottle to reveal the second hidden color, so the M1 slot becomes a second working empty. With two '?' bottles now revealed and two working empties, route every visible two-segment mixer top-first onto the matching middle-row single-color starters and use the freed T1 and M1 slots as scratch buffers.
- Danger Zone
- Pouring a mismatched color onto either the T1 or M1 '?' mystery bottle strands the wrong color on top of the revealed hidden bottle, which then needs an extra pour to clear before the bottle can join the sort. The two revealed '?' slots (T1 and M1) are the only true working positions on the board, and burning either on a mismatched '?' pour before a matching lane exists strands the first home for a revealed color. The T2 green-cyan and T3 orange-red mixers are the only two-segment mixers on the board, and the green tail on T2 plus the orange tail on T3 each have to land on a freed '?' slot before the paired cyan and red bases are moved, or green and orange strand across the top row.
- Mechanics
- A 2-tier, 10-position mystery-reveal-and-route board with no corks, wraps, boxes, paint cans, frozen tiles or magic bottles. The only special tiles are the two tall white '?' mystery bottles at T1 and M1, each sealed until any color is poured onto the cap, at which point the bottle releases a hidden single-color bottle into the same slot. The chokepoint is '?' reveal order plus paired-color discipline: pour T5's yellow onto T1 and T4's red onto M1 first so the two '?' bottles reveal onto the matching yellow and red lanes, then peel the T2 and T3 paired-color mixers top-first through the freed '?' slots, keep every working empty single-color, and top off the eight colors (red, yellow, green, cyan, orange, blue, pink, brown) so the board ends with eight full single-color lanes plus the two starting single-color starters.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do the two '?' mystery bottles in Magic Sort Level 376 work?
The two tall white '?' mystery bottles at T1 and M1 are sealed until any color is poured onto the cap. When the matching color is poured, the '?' bottle releases a hidden single-color bottle into the same slot and the slot becomes a working empty. The '?' bottles do not require a specific matching color to crack, but the revealed hidden colors need a parked lane to land on, so pour T5's yellow onto T1 and T4's red onto M1 first so the reveals land cleanly on the matching yellow and red lanes.
How are the T2 green-cyan and T3 orange-red mixers handled after the '?' reveals in Magic Sort Level 376?
After the '?' reveals, peel T2's green top onto a matching green destination first so the cyan tail can land on a matching cyan destination, then peel T3's orange top onto a matching orange destination first so the red tail can land on a matching red destination. Both mixers are paired-color mixers where the second color has only one matching lane each on the board, so the bases have to land on matching destinations before the tails are touched, or green and orange strand across the top row.
