Magic Sort Level 414 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 414 is a two-tier, ten-bottle four-vault key-release board with one small silver-keyed bottle at T2, three red-cylinder wrapped vaults in the top row (T3 / T4 / T5) and a fourth red-cylinder wrapped vault at B5. The top row opens with T1 a four-segment purple / red / green / blue mixer, T2 a two-segment Schlüssel key bottle with one red top and a small silver key ball at the bottom, and T3 / T4 / T5 all wrapped and locked; the bottom row opens with B1 a four-segment yellow / green / blue / orange mixer, B2 a three-segment orange / green / blue mixer, B3 a short single brown starter flask, B4 a short single green starter flask, and B5 the fourth wrapped vault. Pour the purple top off T1 down onto the T2 silver key ball to fire the cascade — the key ball absorbs the purple, T2 becomes a three-segment purple / red / red bottle, and the four wrapped vaults at all four wrapped vaults all split open in one move. Drain B1's yellow onto the B5 yellow/blue mixer to bank the yellow lane, route the red tops from T1 and T2 onto the T3 and T5 red mixers to bank the red lane, then use the T4 white magic bottle (the only flex slot on a board with zero standard empties) as a single-color cyan buffer to peel the T4 and T5 red/cyan/pink mixers and finish every bottle on a single color.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 414 — Full Solution
- Pour the top purple off T1 (purple / red / green / blue) down onto the small silver key ball on T2 to fire the cascade — the key ball absorbs the purple, T2 transforms into a three-segment purple / red / red bottle, and the four red-cylinder wrapped vaults (the three in the top row plus B5) all split open in the same move.
- Pour the top yellow off B1 (yellow / green / blue / orange) down onto the matching yellow segment exposed at the top of the B5 yellow/blue mixer so the B5 mixer collapses top-first, then pour the now-exposed yellow base of B5 onto the matching yellow lane to bank a clean yellow bottle.
- Pour the top red off T1's post-key red / red / red segment down onto the matching red top of the T3 red/cyan/pink mixer to start the red lane, then pour the top red off T2 onto the matching red top of the T5 red/cyan/pink mixer so the red lane consolidates through the top row.
- Pour the next red of T1 onto the now-exposed red layer of T3 to bank T3 into a single red bottle, then pour the next red of T2 onto the now-exposed red layer of T5 to bank T5 into a single red bottle.
- Pour the top cyan off the T5 red/cyan/pink mixer into the T4 white magic bottle so the magic bottle starts a one-color cyan buffer — keep the magic bottle strictly cyan until the pink lane is ready, then drain it back out before you start the next color.
- Pour the top cyan off the T4 cyan/red/pink mixer onto the T4 cyan buffer to extend the cyan lane, then pour the now-exposed top red of the T4 mixer onto the T3 red lane so the red stays single-color.
- Walk the pink segment from the T4 mixer down onto the matching pink base of the T5 red/cyan/pink mixer to bank T5 into a single pink bottle, then drain the T4 cyan buffer down onto the freed T4 slot to bank cyan into a single bottle and empty the magic bottle for the last color.
- Pour the green top off B1 onto the matching green layer of the T4 cyan/red/pink mixer, then walk the B2 orange / green / blue mixer top-first onto the B1 green / blue / orange base, route the blue base of B2 onto the matching blue base of B1, and top off yellow, purple, red, pink, orange, blue, brown, green and cyan each into a single bottle so all ten positions end on one color with the T4 white magic bottle emptied last.
Colors in this level:
Purple, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Orange, Brown, Cyan, Pink
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring any color other than purple onto the T2 silver key ball, which leaves the four wrapped vaults at all four wrapped vaults sealed for the rest of the run and strands the only purple source on the board under a wrong-color top.
- Pouring a second color into the T4 white magic bottle before the cyan buffer has been drained back out, which locks the only flex slot on a mismatched two-color stack and burns the late-game buffer the cyan and pink mixers need.
- Pouring the red tops from T1 or T2 into the B3 brown or B4 green starter flasks, which strands the only pre-built brown and green lanes under a red top and burns the two anchors the rest of the sort needs.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 414 (spoiler-free)
- Pour the top purple off T1 down onto the T2 silver key ball as the very first move of the run — the key ball only fires the four-vault cascade on purple, and delaying the key fires strands the only purple source under whatever red you pour first.
- Keep the T4 white magic bottle to a single color (cyan in the cleanest order) from the moment the T4 vault first pops, because the magic bottle is the only flex slot on a board with zero standard empties and freezes the moment a second color touches it.
- Treat the B3 brown and B4 green starter flasks as pre-built anchors and never pour into them after the unlocked mixers start landing — once a starter fills with a wrong color, the brown and green lanes are gone for the rest of the run.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Two tiers, ten bottle positions, no spray cans, no wraps, no frozen tiles, no white star flasks, no "?" caps. The top row is five bottles — T1 a four-segment mixer reading purple / red / green / blue (cyan) from the top down (the only purple source on the board), T2 a small two-segment Schlüssel key bottle in column 2 with one red segment on top and a small silver key ball parked at the bottom, and T3 / T4 / T5 three tall red-cylinder wrapped vaults filling columns 3, 4 and 5. The bottom row is five bottles — B1 a four-segment mixer reading yellow / green / blue / orange from the top down (the only yellow source on the board), B2 a three-segment orange / green / blue mixer, B3 a short single brown starter flask, B4 a short single green starter flask, and B5 a tall red-cylinder wrapped vault in column 5. There are zero standard empty flasks — the two short bottom flasks (B3 brown, B4 green) are the only pre-sorted single-color anchors on the board, and the four wrapped vaults (T3 / T4 / T5 / B5) plus the silver key ball on T2 are the only special tiles.
- Goal
- Pop all four red-cylinder wrapped vaults in a single cascade by pouring the matching purple top from T1 onto the T2 silver key ball, then drain the four released mixers (T3 red/cyan/pink, T4 cyan/red/pink magic bottle, T5 red/cyan/pink, B5 yellow/blue) plus the T1 red/green/blue base, the B1 green/blue/orange base and the B2 orange/green/blue mixer into nine single-color bottles and one emptied T4 white magic bottle. The real chokepoint is the silver key ball on T2: it is the only mechanism that pops the four wrapped vaults in one move, and it only fires when the matching purple top from T1 is poured onto T2 — pour any other color onto the key ball and the four vaults stay sealed for the rest of the run while the only purple source is buried under a wrong-color top.
- Opening
- Pour the top purple off T1 (purple / red / green / blue) down onto the T2 silver key ball to fire the cascade — the key ball absorbs the purple, T2 transforms into a three-segment purple / red / red bottle, and the four wrapped vaults at all four wrapped vaults all split open in the same move, revealing the T3 red/cyan/pink mixer, the T4 white magic bottle, the T5 red/cyan/pink mixer and the B5 yellow/ blue mixer. Pour the top yellow off B1 (yellow / green / blue / orange) down onto the matching yellow segment exposed at the top of the B5 yellow/blue mixer so the B5 mixer collapses top-first and the B1 stack drops to a green/blue/orange base. Pour the top red off the T1 post-key red / red / red segment down onto the matching red top of the T3 red/cyan/pink mixer to start the red lane, then pour the top red off T2 onto the matching red top of the T5 red/cyan/pink mixer so the red lane consolidates through the top row.
- Danger Zone
- Pouring any color other than purple onto the T2 silver key ball fails to fire the cascade because the mismatched color strands on top of the key, the four wrapped vaults stay sealed for the rest of the run, and the only purple source on the board is buried under a wrong-color top with no way to peel it off. Pouring the yellow top off B1 into the wrong bottom-row flask (anything other than the B5 yellow/blue mixer) strands the only yellow source on a mismatched green/orange stack and burns the only buffer the cyan mixers from the unlocked top-row vaults need to be peeled. Pouring a second color into the T4 white magic bottle before the cyan buffer has been drained locks the only flex slot on a mismatched two-color stack, since the T4 magic bottle freezes the moment it sees a second color and the rest of the sort has no place to land a loose top. Pouring the red tops from T1 or T2 into the B3 brown or B4 green starter flasks strands the only pre-built brown and green lanes under a red top and burns the two anchors the late game needs.
- Mechanics
- A two-tier, ten-bottle four-vault key-release board with one silver key ball, one white magic bottle and zero standard empties. The T2 silver key ball is the only mechanism that pops the four red-cylinder wrapped vaults at once, and it fires only when the matching purple top from T1 is poured onto T2 — T2 then transforms into a three-segment purple/red/red bottle and the four vaults cascade-open in the same move. The T4 vault is the unique twist: it does not unlock into a regular bottle, it unlocks into a white magic bottle that can absorb any color but freezes the moment a second color touches it, so it is both the only flex slot and the most fragile slot on the board. The whole puzzle order is key-first (pour purple onto T2 to fire the cascade), peel B1 yellow onto B5 to bank the yellow lane, then drain the T3 red/cyan/pink, T4 cyan/red/pink, T5 red/cyan/pink and B5 yellow/blue mixers through the T4 magic bottle and the B3 brown and B4 green starter anchors until all ten positions end on a single color with the T4 white magic bottle emptied last.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you open the four red-cylinder wrapped vaults in Magic Sort Level 414?
Pour the top purple off T1 (purple / red / green / blue) down onto the small silver key ball on T2. The key ball absorbs the purple, T2 transforms into a three-segment purple / red / red bottle, and the four wrapped vaults at all four wrapped vaults all split open in the same move. The cascade only fires on purple — pour any other color onto the key ball and the four vaults stay sealed, with the only purple source on the board stranded under a wrong-color top.
Why does the T4 white magic bottle matter so much in Level 414?
The T4 vault is the only one of the four wrapped vaults that unlocks into a white magic bottle rather than a regular bottle, and on a board with zero standard empties that magic bottle is the only flex slot for the rest of the sort. The magic bottle can absorb any color but freezes the moment a second color touches it, so it has to be used strictly one color at a time (cyan in the cleanest order) and drained back out before you start the next color, or the rest of the sort has no place to land a loose top.
