Magic Sort Level 377 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 377 is a 2-tier, 8-position box-and-route board with two small wooden boxes at M3 (yellow key) and B3 (blue key), two visible three-segment mixers (M1 yellow-cyan-blue, M2 red-pink-pink), and one starting empty at T2. Pour M1's yellow onto M3 first and T1's blue onto B3 second to crack both boxes, then peel M1 and M2 top-first through the freed box slots and the T2 starting empty, 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 T2 starting empty.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 377 — Full Solution
- Pour M1's yellow top onto the M3 wooden box to crack it open — the box releases a pre-stacked multi-color bottle into the M3 slot and the M3 slot becomes a working empty, and the yellow key is used up.
- Pour T1's single blue top onto the B3 wooden box to crack the second box, so the B3 slot becomes a second working empty plus another multi-color release, and the blue key is used up.
- Drain the M2 red-pink-pink three-segment mixer top-first: pour M2's red top onto a matching red destination, then pour M2's pink top onto a matching pink destination, then pour M2's second pink top onto the same pink lane, so M2 collapses into a working empty.
- Drain the M1 yellow-cyan-blue three-segment mixer top-first: pour M1's yellow top onto the parked yellow lane (or onto the M3 box release), then pour M1's cyan top onto a matching cyan destination, then pour M1's blue top onto the parked blue lane from step 2, so M1 collapses into a working empty.
- Route the B3 box-released multi-color bottle top-first: peel each exposed top color onto a matching parked lane from steps 3 to 4, and use the freed T2, M3, M1 and M2 slots as single-color buffers when no matching top is available yet.
- Route the M3 box-released multi-color bottle top-first: peel each exposed top color onto a matching parked lane from steps 3 to 5, and use the freed T1, T3, M1, M2 and B3 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 T2 starting empty, 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 non-yellow color onto the M3 box, which still breaks the box but strands the wrong color on top of the released bottle and costs an extra pour to clear.
- Pouring a non-blue color onto the B3 box, which still breaks the box but strands the wrong color on top of the released bottle and costs an extra pour to clear.
- Pouring M2's pink or M1's cyan top onto a non-matching destination, which strands pink or cyan across the middle row because both colors have only one matching lane each on the board.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 377 (spoiler-free)
- Pour M1's yellow onto the M3 box first and T1's blue onto the B3 box second, since M1's yellow is the only yellow on the board and T1's blue is the only blue top that pairs with the B3 box.
- After the boxes crack, peel M2's red and pink tops onto parked lanes first so the pink tail doesn't strand across the middle row.
- Keep the T2 starting empty plus the two freed box slots single-color and clear any multi-color buffer onto a real stack before reusing it for a different color.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Two tiers, eight bottle positions, no corks, wraps, paint cans, frozen tiles or mystery bottles. The top row is three elements — T1 = blue one-segment, T2 = small near-empty flask, and T3 = blue one-segment. The middle row is three elements — M1 = yellow-cyan-blue three-segment mixer, M2 = red-pink-pink three-segment mixer, and M3 = tall wooden box with a yellow key icon (needs a yellow pour to open). The bottom row is three elements — B1 = orange one-segment, B2 = red one-segment, and B3 = tall wooden box with a blue key icon (needs a blue pour to open). There are exactly two starting empties (T2 plus the locked M3 box sitting in a usable slot) so once the first box cracks the player has three working positions. The most visually dominant feature is the pair of tall wooden boxes at M3 and B3 that anchor the right side of each row, and the second most dominant feature is the M1 yellow-cyan-blue and M2 red-pink-pink three-segment mixers in the middle row.
- Goal
- Crack the M3 wooden box with a yellow pour from M1's yellow top, then crack the B3 wooden box with a blue pour from one of the top-row blue singles (T1 or T3), then route every color from the two visible three-segment mixers (M1 yellow-cyan-blue, M2 red-pink-pink) plus the two box releases into single-color lanes through the two starting empties plus the freed box slots. The chokepoint is the box-opening wave: M1's yellow top is the only yellow on the board, and B3 needs a blue pour from a top-row blue. The second chokepoint is the M1 yellow-cyan-blue and M2 red-pink-pink mixers: each has three colors that mostly repeat across the board, so the mixers' tops have to land on matching destinations in the right order, or yellow and pink strand across the middle row.
- Opening
- Pour M1's yellow top onto the M3 wooden box to crack it open — the box releases a pre-stacked multi-color bottle into the M3 slot and the M3 slot becomes a working empty. Then pour T1's single blue top onto the B3 wooden box to crack the second box, so the B3 slot becomes a second working empty plus another multi-color release. With T2, M3 (box slot), and B3 (box slot) as three working positions, peel the M2 red-pink-pink mixer top-first and the M1 yellow-cyan-blue base top-first, and use the box-released bottles as the natural receivers for the rest of the sort.
- Danger Zone
- Pouring a non-yellow color onto the M3 box still breaks the box (the box pops on any pour) but strands the wrong color on top of the released bottle, which then needs an extra pour to clear. The T2 starting empty and the two freed box slots (M3 and B3) are the only true working positions on the board, and burning any of them on a mismatched box-pour before a matching lane exists strands the first home for a released color. The M1 yellow-cyan-blue and M2 red-pink-pink mixers are the only three-segment mixers on the board, and the yellow tail on M1 plus the pink tail on M2 each have to land on a matching destination before the cyan and red bases are moved, or yellow and pink strand across the middle row.
- Mechanics
- A 2-tier, 8-position box-and-route board with no corks, wraps, paint cans, frozen tiles or mystery bottles. The only special tiles are the two small wooden boxes at M3 (yellow key) and B3 (blue key). The chokepoint is the box-opening wave plus three-segment mixer discipline: crack M3 with M1's yellow first and B3 with T1's blue second, then peel M1 and M2 top-first through the freed box slots and the starting T2 empty, 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 T2 starting empty.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do both wooden boxes have to be cracked before any mixer base is moved in Magic Sort Level 377?
The M3 box has a yellow key icon and only cracks when yellow is poured onto it, and the B3 box has a blue key icon and only cracks when blue is poured onto it. M1's yellow top is the only yellow on the board and T1's blue is the only blue top that pairs with the B3 box, so the two boxes have to be cracked in the same wave before any mixer base is moved. Pouring a mismatched color onto either box still breaks the box but strands the wrong color on top of the released bottle, which costs an extra pour to clear before the bottle can join the sort.
How are the M1 yellow-cyan-blue and M2 red-pink-pink mixers handled in Magic Sort Level 377?
After the box-opening wave, peel M2's red top onto a matching red destination first so the pink tail can land on a matching pink destination, then peel M1's yellow top onto the parked yellow lane from the M3 box release first so the cyan tail can land on a matching cyan destination. Both mixers are three-segment 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 yellow and pink strand across the middle row.
