Magic Sort level guide
Magic Sort Level 416 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 416 is a three-tier, twelve-bottle four-padlock plus one-tap-vault board with five 4-seg top mixers, a dark glass M1, a small pink floral magic bottle M2, four colored padlock boxes (yellow B1, red B2, pink B4, blue B5) and a wider center wooden vault B3 that opens on tap. Tap the center wooden vault first to free a fifth bottom-row bottle, pop the yellow and blue padlocks with T2 and T3's top yellow and dark blue, pop the red padlock with T1's top dark red, pop the pink padlock with the top pink peeled from T4, keep the M2 magic bottle strictly single-color (yellow, drained from T2 and T3) as the only flex slot, and finish with all twelve positions on a single color.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 416 — Full Solution
- Tap the center B3 wooden vault to shatter the wider wooden plank and reveal a hidden 4-seg dark-purple / cyan / pink / dark mix, so the bottom row starts with five working bottle positions from the very first move.
- Pour the top yellow off T2 (dark blue / green / yellow / blue) down onto the B1 yellow padlock to pop it, then tap B1 to drop the question-mark cap and reveal the orange / yellow / dark / dark mix inside.
- Pour the top dark blue off T3 (dark blue / green / yellow / blue) down onto the B5 blue padlock to pop it, then tap B5 to release the dark / cyan / dark / cyan mix inside.
- Pour the top dark red off T1 (cyan / dark red / green / cyan) down onto the B2 red padlock to pop it, then tap B2 to release the red / dark / cyan / dark mix inside.
- Peel the top pink off T4 (dark red / brown / yellow / dark) and pour it down onto the B4 pink padlock to pop it, then tap B4 to release the pink / cyan / dark / dark mix inside.
- Pour the top yellow off T3 onto the M2 pink floral magic bottle so the magic bottle starts a one-color yellow buffer; keep the magic bottle strictly yellow until the rest of the top row is drained.
- Pour the dark blue base off T5 down onto the B5 blue mix so T5 collapses into a single dark blue bottle, then route the yellow from T4 onto the M2 yellow buffer so T4 drops to a brown / dark base.
- Drain the rest of the top mixers (T1 green, T2 green, T3 green, T4 brown, T5 dark blue) and the four released vault mixers onto the matching lanes, then top off yellow, blue, red, pink, orange, green, brown, cyan and purple each into a single bottle so all twelve positions end on one color with no padlocks or question-mark caps left.
Colors in this level:
Cyan, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Brown, Orange, Pink, Purple
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring the top yellow off T2 anywhere other than the B1 yellow padlock, which strands yellow on the magic bottle and burns the only trigger for the B1 vault.
- Pouring the top dark red off T1 into the wrong top-row bottle, which strands the only red source on a mismatched cyan or green stack and burns the only trigger for the B2 vault.
- Pouring any second color into the M2 pink floral magic bottle, which locks the only flex slot on a board with zero standard empties and strands every loose top from that point on.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 416 (spoiler-free)
- Tap the center B3 wooden vault before any padlock pop so the wider wooden plank shatters and the bottom row starts with five working bottle positions instead of four padlocked boxes.
- Pour T2's top yellow onto the B1 yellow padlock and T3's top dark blue onto the B5 blue padlock as the first two pops, because yellow and blue are the only two padlock triggers that sit on top of a tidy 4-seg mixer.
- Keep the M2 pink floral magic bottle strictly single-color (yellow is the cleanest source from T2 and T3) for the entire run — it is the only flex slot on a board with zero standard empties, and the moment a second color touches it the rest of the sort has no buffer.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Three tiers, twelve bottle positions, no corks, no wraps, no spray cans, no frozen tiles, no white star flasks. The top row is five 4-seg mixers — T1 a cyan / dark red / green / cyan stack, T2 a dark blue / green / yellow / blue stack, T3 a near-identical dark blue / green / yellow / blue stack, T4 a dark red / brown / yellow / dark stack, and T5 a four-layer all-dark-blue stack. The middle row is two bottles — M1 a plain dark glass and M2 a small pink floral magic bottle with a sparkle motif. The bottom row is five wooden vault boxes lined up tight — B1 a yellow padlock box, B2 a red padlock box, B3 a wider center wooden vault with no padlock (opens on tap), B4 a pink padlock box, and B5 a blue padlock box. Zero standard empty flasks — the M1 dark glass is the only starting buffer and the M2 magic bottle is the only slot that can absorb a loose top without locking.
- Goal
- Pop all four colored padlock boxes in a strict color-order sequence, tap the center wooden vault to release a hidden fifth bottom-row bottle, then drain the five top-row mixers and the four released vault mixers through M1 and the M2 magic bottle until all twelve positions end on a single color. The real chokepoint is sequencing the four padlock pops: B1 (yellow) and B5 (blue) are the only two boxes whose trigger color sits on top of a tidy 4-seg, B2 (red) is the only box whose trigger is the second layer of T1, and B4 (pink) is the only box whose trigger has to be peeled from the middle of T4. The first unlock fires the moment T2's top yellow lands on the B1 yellow padlock, and every subsequent padlock pop has to be triggered by a color that is still loose on the top row at that moment.
- Opening
- Tap the center B3 wooden vault to shatter the wider wooden plank and reveal a hidden 4-seg dark-purple / cyan / pink / dark mix. Pour the top yellow off T2 down onto the B1 yellow padlock to pop it, then tap B1 to drop the question-mark cap and reveal an orange / yellow / dark / dark mix. Pour the top dark blue off T3 down onto the B5 blue padlock to pop it, then tap B5 to release a dark / cyan / dark / cyan mix. Pour the top dark red off T1 down onto the B2 red padlock to pop it, then tap B2 to release a red / dark / cyan / dark mix. Pour the top pink peeled off T4 down onto the B4 pink padlock to pop it, then tap B4 to release a pink / cyan / dark / dark mix.
- Danger Zone
- Pouring the top yellow off T2 anywhere other than the B1 yellow padlock strands yellow on the magic bottle and burns the only trigger for the B1 vault. Pouring the top dark blue off T3 into a bottle that already holds a green, yellow or red bottom strands blue on a mismatched stack and burns the only trigger for the B5 vault. Pouring the top dark red off T1 into the wrong top-row bottle strands the only red source on a mismatched cyan or green stack and burns the only trigger for the B2 vault — T1 is the only red source on the board before B2 opens, so the dark red top has to land directly on the B2 red padlock. Tapping the center B3 wooden vault after the four padlock boxes have already opened strands the released mix inside the B3 slot on a mismatched color and burns the only five-segment bottom-row buffer the late-game sort needs. Pouring any second color into the M2 magic bottle locks the only flex slot on a board with zero standard empties, and the rest of the sort has no other place to land a loose top.
- Mechanics
- A three-tier, twelve-bottle four-padlock + one-tap-vault board on a layout with one small pink floral magic bottle and zero standard empties. The four padlock boxes at B1 (yellow), B2 (red), B4 (pink) and B5 (blue) must be popped in a strict color-order sequence — yellow and blue first because their trigger sits on top of a tidy 4-seg, then red because its trigger is the second layer of T1, then pink because its trigger has to be peeled from T4 — and the wider center B3 wooden vault opens on tap to free a fifth bottom-row bottle that becomes the late-game buffer. The M2 magic bottle is the only flex slot on a board with zero standard empties, so it has to stay strictly single-color (yellow, drained from T2 and T3 as the dark blues and greens peel off) until the four padlock boxes have all opened. The T5 all-dark-blue stack is the only true dark anchor on the board and has to be peeled top-first so the dark blue base lands on B5 the moment the blue padlock falls, keeping the blue lane open through the late game.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you open the four padlock boxes in Magic Sort Level 416?
Pour the matching color from a top-row mixer onto each padlock, then tap the box to drop the question-mark cap. Pour T2's top yellow onto the B1 yellow padlock first, then T3's top dark blue onto the B5 blue padlock, then T1's top dark red onto the B2 red padlock, then the top pink peeled off T4 onto the B4 pink padlock. Tap the center B3 wooden vault before any padlock pop so the wider wooden plank shatters and the bottom row starts with five working bottle positions instead of four locked boxes.
Why does the small pink floral magic bottle at M2 matter so much in Level 416?
It is the only flex slot on a board with zero standard empties, so it has to stay strictly single-color (yellow is the cleanest source from T2 and T3) for the entire run. The moment a second color touches it, the magic bottle locks and the rest of the sort has no other place to land a loose top, so the late game has to be redone from the last safe pop.
What is the real chokepoint in Magic Sort Level 416?
Sequencing the four padlock pops. Yellow and blue are the only two triggers that sit on top of a tidy 4-seg, so pour them into B1 and B5 first. Red is the second layer of T1, so drain T1's top dark red onto the B2 padlock before you start peeling T1's cyan. Pink is the only color that has to be peeled from the middle of T4, so do that last so the B4 padlock has its own matching top waiting for it. Pop out of order and the freed slot strands a mismatched color and burns the only buffer the next pop needs.
