Magic Sort level guide
Magic Sort Level 415 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 415 is a two-tier, ten-bottle frosted-cork cascade with six locked wraps (T3 green, T4 brown, T5 hidden, B2 red, B4 purple, B5 hidden), one pink-over-purple mixer at T1, one yellow single at B1, and only two starting empties at T2 and B3. Pop T5 with the pink top off T1 to release a yellow-on-brown stack, fire the B4 wrap with the freed pink to release its pink-on-purple stack, walk the purple base off T1 onto the B4 purple lane, pop T4 and B5 to release the second yellow and the orange, then pop B2 to free the blue top and T3 to free the green top so all ten positions end on a single color.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 415 — Full Solution
- Pour the pink top off T1 (pink over purple) down onto the T5 frosted wrap so the dark cork pops and T5 reveals a yellow-on-brown two-segment stack with brown at the bottom.
- Pour the pink top off T1 onto the B4 frosted wrap so the dark cork pops and B4 reveals a pink-on-purple two-segment stack with purple at the bottom.
- Pour the yellow top off T5 down onto the B1 yellow flask to start banking the yellow lane through the bottom row, then pour the brown base off T5 onto the freed T5 slot to start the brown lane.
- Pour the purple base off T1 onto the B4 purple base so the only purple on the board collapses into a single purple bottle and T1 becomes a clean buffer.
- Pour the freed yellow from the T5 stack onto the T4 frosted wrap to pop it and release its hidden yellow-on-orange stack, then pour the freed orange from T4 onto the B5 frosted wrap to pop it and release the hidden orange.
- Pour the red base off B2 onto the freed T1 buffer to start the red lane, then pour the freed blue top off B2 onto the freed B3 empty to start the blue lane.
- Walk the rest of the pink from the B4 stack onto the matching pink lane, the rest of the yellow from T4 onto the B1 yellow lane, and the rest of the orange from B5 onto the matching orange lane, using T2 and B3 as one-shot shuttles.
- Pour the freed green from the T3 wrap onto the T3 slot as the closer, then top off brown, yellow, orange, red, blue, pink, purple and green each into a single bottle so all ten positions end on a single color with no wraps or corks left.
Colors in this level:
Pink, Purple, Yellow, Brown, Green, Red, Blue, Orange
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring the pink top off T1 onto a plain glass flask instead of onto T5 or B4, which strands pink on a mismatched top and burns the only trigger for two of the six wraps.
- Pouring the purple base off T1 onto a flask that already holds yellow, brown, red, orange, blue or green, which strands the only purple on the board and burns the lane that B4's freed purple top needs to merge into.
- Popping the T3 wrap or the B2 wrap before T4 and B5 have handed back their yellow and orange tops, which strands the only green and the only blue on a stack with no clean target and forces the late game to be redone.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 415 (spoiler-free)
- Pop the T5 and B4 frosted wraps first with the pink top off T1, in that order, so the freed pink becomes a reusable buffer for the rest of the cascade.
- Walk the purple base off T1 onto the B4 purple lane the moment B4 pops, so the only purple on the board collapses into a single bottle before the T1 stack is touched for good.
- Treat T3 and B2 as the closer — pop them only after T4, B5 and B2's red base have all handed back their yellow, orange and blue tops onto clean lanes.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Two tiers, ten bottle positions, six of them locked behind cracked-paper frost wraps with small dark corks on top — the rest of the board is plain glass. The top row is five bottles — T1 a pink-top over a purple-base two-segment regular mixer (the only true mix on the board and the only place pink and purple are visible before the wraps come off), T2 an empty glass flask, T3 a frosted wrap with a small dark cork and a single green segment peeking out at the bottom, T4 a frosted wrap with a dark cork and a single brown segment peeking out at the bottom, and T5 a frosted wrap with a dark cork and no color visible (it sits above a hidden yellow-on-brown two-segment stack). The bottom row is five bottles — B1 a short single yellow flask, B2 a frosted wrap with a small dark cork and a red segment peeking out at the bottom, B3 an empty glass flask, B4 a frosted wrap with a dark cork and a purple segment peeking out at the bottom, and B5 a frosted wrap with a dark cork and no color visible (it sits above a single hidden orange flask). Two starting empties (T2, B3), no other buffers. No spray cans, no wooden vault boxes, no magic overflow, no "?" caps, no star flasks — every special bottle on the board is a frosted cork wrap.
- Goal
- Pop all six cork wraps in the right order so the hidden colors join play, then drain T1 (pink over purple) and the freed mixed bottles through T2 and B3 until each of the ten positions ends on a single color. The real chokepoint is the pop order itself — T1 is the only source of pink and purple on the board, but you need pink and purple lanes already open before the wraps release the matching yellow, blue and pink tops that have to land on those lanes. Pop T5 first with the pink top off T1, then use the freed pink to fire the B4 wrap and reveal its pink-on-purple stack, and only then use the purple off T1 to start the purple lane that catches the rest of the pops.
- Opening
- Pour the pink top off T1 (pink over purple) down onto the T5 frosted wrap so the dark cork pops and T5 reveals a yellow-on-brown two-segment stack with brown at the bottom. Pour the pink top off T1 onto the B4 frosted wrap so its dark cork pops and B4 reveals a pink-on-purple two-segment stack. Pour the yellow top off T5 down onto the B1 yellow flask to start banking the yellow lane through the bottom row, then pour the brown base off T5 onto the freed T5 slot to start the brown lane.
- Danger Zone
- Pouring the pink top off T1 onto anything other than T5 or B4 strands pink on a mismatched glass flask and burns the only trigger for two of the six wraps. Pouring the purple base off T1 onto a flask that already holds yellow, brown, red, orange, blue or green strands the only purple on the board and burns the lane that B4's freed purple top needs to merge into. Pouring the yellow top off T5 onto the B1 yellow flask before pink has been parked on B4 forces the B4 pop to land on a mismatched top and strands the freed pink in a mixed bottle. Popping the T3 wrap or the B2 wrap before T4 and B5 have handed back their yellow and orange tops strands the only green and the only blue on a stack with no clean target, and the late game has to be redone.
- Mechanics
- A two-tier, ten-bottle frosted-cork cascade with six locked wraps and only two starting empties. Every wrap pop costs a buffer the next pop needs as a trigger, so the cascade has to fire in a strict order — T5 and B4 first to free pink as a reusable buffer, then T4 and B5 to release the second yellow and the orange, then B2 to free the blue top, and only then T3 to free the green top and close the level. The T1 pink-over-purple mixer is the only true mix on the board and the only source of pink and purple, so the purple base has to park on a clean slot (B4, after its pop) before the T1 stack is touched for good. The two starting empties (T2, B3) are the only flex slots, and every pop after the first one eats one of them.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you open the six frosted cork wraps on Magic Sort Level 415?
Pour a color from above onto each wrap so the dark cork pops and the wrap falls away. Fire T5 and B4 first with the pink top off T1, then T4 with the freed yellow, then B5 with the freed orange, then B2 with the red base, and only then T3 with the freed green. Every wrap pop costs a buffer the next pop needs as a trigger, so the cascade has to be tight and in order.
Why is T1 (pink over purple) the real anchor in Level 415?
It is the only true mix on the board and the only source of pink and purple. The pink top has to fire the T5 and B4 wraps before it is parked on its own lane, and the purple base has to walk onto the B4 purple lane the moment B4 pops, so the only purple on the board collapses into a single bottle before the rest of the sort fills the board. Drain T1 in the right order, or the six wraps have no shared trigger and the late game stalls on the pink and purple merges.
