Magic Sort level guide
Magic Sort Level 425 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 425 is an eleven-bottle three-tier board with one corked bottle in the top row and a single empty at the bottom-right. Pop the cork with pink to release a hidden pink + gray mix, merge the revealed gray into the full middle-row gray lane, then sort the remaining pink, green, blue, red, orange, yellow and purple into eight single-color bottles.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 425 — Full Solution
- Clear the top-row mixes into the empty buffer at the bottom-right — pour the small green top of the top-row second bottle, the small red top of the top-row fourth bottle onto the full red middle-row fourth bottle, then the small pink top of the top-row second bottle and the pink top of the top-row first bottle into the buffer to start separate green, pink and red lanes.
- Pop the corked top-row third bottle by pouring pink into it, releasing its hidden pink + gray mix.
- Pour the revealed gray from the corked bottle onto the full gray middle-row third bottle, then send the leftover pink onto the buffer's pink lane so the cork bottle is empty.
- Split the middle-row second bottle (pink over orange) — pour pink onto the buffer's pink lane, then pour orange onto the full orange middle-row first bottle.
- Drain the bottom-row second bottle (three-color pink + yellow + gray) top-first — pour pink onto the pink lane, park yellow in the buffer, then send the sliver of gray onto the middle-row gray.
- Split the bottom-row first bottle (purple + sliver of gray) — pour the sliver of gray onto the middle-row gray, then route purple into the buffer.
- Pour the small blue top of the top-row fourth bottle onto the buffer's blue lane, then sort any leftover mixed bits out of the buffer one color at a time.
- Top off blue, green, orange, yellow, purple, red, pink and gray into eight single-color bottles and clear the remaining empties.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring the small green top of the top-row second bottle onto the full red middle-row fourth bottle, which buries green under red and forces an untangle later.
- Popping the corked top-row third bottle before the empty buffer is set up to receive pink, which strands the revealed gray with no clean home.
- Pouring anything other than pink into the corked top-row third bottle, which leaves the seal intact and hides the gray for the rest of the run.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 425 (spoiler-free)
- Keep at least one pink top in the top row untouched until the empty buffer is ready to absorb the revealed pink after the cork pops.
- Send the small green top of the top-row second bottle into the empty buffer, not onto the full red middle bottle.
- Top off the full gray middle-row third bottle with the revealed gray from the cork before you pour anything else into it.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Three tiers, eleven bottles, no magic bottles, no wooden boxes, no frozen seals, no wraps. The top row is four mixes — a mostly-pink with a sliver of gray, a mostly-green with a sliver of pink, a corked bottle (rounded pink seal) hiding a small pink + gray mix, and a mostly-blue with a sliver of red. The middle row is the tidy band — a full orange, a pink-over-orange two-color, a full gray, and a full red. The bottom row is a mostly-purple with a sliver of gray, a three-color pink + yellow + gray, and one empty buffer.
- Goal
- Pop the corked top-row third bottle by pouring pink into it, then route the revealed gray onto the full middle-row gray bottle so all eight colors can finish as single-color lanes. The cork is the only gating mechanism; everything else is standard routing.
- Opening
- Pour the small green top of the top-row second bottle into the empty buffer to start a green lane, then pour the small red top of the top-row fourth bottle onto the full red middle-row fourth bottle. Next, pour the small pink top of the top-row second bottle (now exposed) into the buffer to split green and pink into separate lanes, and finally pour the pink top of the top-row first bottle onto the buffer to consolidate pink.
- Danger Zone
- Pouring the small green top of the top-row second bottle straight onto the full red middle-row fourth bottle buries green under red and turns the cleanest single on the board into a red + green tangle with no obvious home. The other trap is popping the corked top-row third bottle before the buffer is set up to receive pink — once the seal breaks, the revealed pink + gray has to flow somewhere, and the only place for the revealed gray is the full middle-row gray bottle, which has to be holding only gray at that moment.
- Mechanics
- A single corked bottle on an otherwise tidy three-tier board with one starting empty. No magic bottles, no wooden boxes, no frozen seals, no wraps. Eight colors in play; the whole puzzle is clear the top-row tops into the empty buffer first, then pop the cork last so the revealed gray has a clean home in the middle-row gray bottle.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you pop the corked bottle on Magic Sort Level 425?
The seal on the top-row third bottle is pink, so you have to pour pink into it from another bottle. Once pink touches the seal it pops, releasing a hidden pink + small gray mix that you can then route onto the full gray middle-row third bottle and the pink lane in the buffer.
Why is the bottom-row second bottle the trickiest in Level 425?
It is the only three-color mix on the board — pink on top of yellow on top of a sliver of gray. You can only take one color at a time, so you must pour pink onto the pink lane first, park yellow in the empty buffer, and only then send the sliver of gray onto the middle-row gray. Doing it in the wrong order strands one of the three colors with no open lane.
