Magic Sort Level 426 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 426 is a cork-plus-two-wooden-vault board on a three-tier six-plus-four-plus-three grid with four starting empties and nine visible colors. Pour the T6 orange top up onto the M2 wooden vault to release a hidden pink-over-green mix, route that pink straight into the corked T3 to pop the seal, then route the released pink from T3 down into the B1 wooden vault to spawn two pink sub-boxes on B2 and B3, peel the T1 yellow, T4 green, T2 blue, T4 dark-red and T6 cyan tops into the empty T5 / M4 / B2 / B3 flex slots, and top off the middle row with purple, red, blue and a filled-in dark/gray so all thirteen positions end on a single color.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 426 — Full Solution
- Pour the small T1 yellow top down into the empty T5 dashed flask to start a yellow lane, then pour the small T4 green top down into the empty M4 small flask to start a green lane and drop T4 to a dark-red-over-red base.
- Pour the small T2 green top across onto the M4 green lane to bank green, then pour the small T2 blue top down into the now- empty T2 base to start a blue lane. Pour the T6 orange top up onto the M2 wooden vault to pop the orange padlock, so T6 drops to a cyan-over-green base and M2 becomes a small bottle holding a hidden pink-over-green mix.
- Pour the M2 pink top down into the corked T3 to pop the seal, so T3 drops to an empty bottle and the pink slice is now free to move; route the T3-released pink straight down into the B1 wooden vault to pop the pink padlock, so B1 spawns two pink sub-boxes on B2 and B3.
- Pour the M2 green top across onto the T3 green lane to bank green, then pour the T6 cyan top down into the now-empty T6 base to start a cyan lane. Pour the T6 green base up onto the B1 sub-box to feed the pink feeder.
- Split the M1 purple-over-orange mixer top-first: pour the small M1 orange top down into the B1 sub-box to feed the pink feeder and drop M1 to a single purple, then pour the M1 purple top across onto the T4 dark-red base to bank dark-red and drop M1 to an empty buffer.
- Split the M3 red-over-blue mixer top-first: pour the small M3 red top down into the M1 buffer to start a red lane and drop M3 to a single blue, then pour the M3 blue top across onto the T2 blue lane to bank blue and drop M3 to an empty buffer.
- Pour the T1 purple top down into the M3 buffer to start a purple lane, then pour the T1 purple base across onto the M3 purple lane to bank purple and drop T1 to an empty buffer.
- Top off the B1 sub-box feeder with the remaining pink leftovers, then top off yellow on T1, cyan on T2, green on T3, dark-red on T4, orange on T5, purple on M1, blue on M2, red on M3 and the final pink on the B1 / B2 sub-box so all thirteen positions end on a single color.
Colors in this level:
Yellow, Purple, Green, Blue, Red, Cyan, Orange, Pink, Brown, Gray
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring the T6 green top onto the still-closed M2 box before the orange key has unlocked it, which buries the orange key under a green layer and leaves M2 sealed for the rest of the run.
- Pouring the M2 pink top onto the corked T3 before the M2 box has been opened with orange, which strands the pink on a non-box bottle and leaves the T3 cork sealed for the rest of the run.
- Pouring the released pink from T3 onto a non-box bottle (T5, M4 or the B1 sub-boxes) before the B1 wooden vault has been popped, which strands the second pink key on a mismatched stack with no way to feed the B1 sub-boxes.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 426 (spoiler-free)
- Pour the T6 orange top up onto the M2 wooden vault first so the M2 box becomes a regular bottle and the hidden pink-over-green mix can start moving.
- Route the M2 pink slice straight into the corked T3 to pop the seal, then take the released pink from T3 straight down into the B1 wooden vault to spawn the two sub-boxes.
- Keep T5, M4, B2 and B3 as single-color flex slots between the two key pours, because the B1 sub-boxes can only be filled with pink after the T3 cork is gone.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Three tiers, thirteen bottle positions, one corked top-row bottle, two locked wooden vaults (M2 and B1) and four starting empties (T5 in the top row, M4 in the middle row, B2 and B3 in the bottom row). The top row is six mixers: T1 is yellow over purple over purple (three layers), T2 is green over blue (two layers), T3 is a black corked bottle with three white question marks hiding a sealed color, T4 is green over dark-red over red (three layers), T5 is an empty dashed flask, and T6 is cyan over green over orange (three layers). The middle row holds two small mixers plus the first wooden vault: M1 is purple over orange (two layers), M2 is a wide wooden vault with a "?" padlock and an orange key icon, M3 is red over blue (two layers), and M4 is a small empty flask with a cork cap. The bottom row holds the second wooden vault plus two empty sub-slots: B1 is a wide wooden vault with a "?" padlock and a pink key icon, and B2 plus B3 are both small empty flasks with cork caps. Nine colors are visible on the starting board (yellow, purple, green, blue, red, cyan, orange, pink and dark-red) plus the hidden T3 color, and no magic bottles, no wraps and no frozen seals appear anywhere on the grid.
- Goal
- Pop the T3 cork with pink to release a hidden pink slice, open the M2 wooden vault with orange so the box becomes a regular bottle that will eventually be filled with blue, and open the B1 wooden vault with pink so it spawns two pink sub-boxes on B2 and B3, then route every top-row mixer top-first into the small empties so yellow lands on T1, cyan lands on T2, green lands on T3, dark-red lands on T4 and orange lands on T5, while purple, red and blue bank on the middle row. The real chokepoint is the order of the two key pours: T6 carries the only orange on the board and pink lives only inside the T3 cork plus the M2 reveal, so the M2 box must be opened with orange from T6 first, the revealed pink must be poured into T3 to pop the cork, and the released pink must then be poured into the still-closed B1 box to unlock the two sub-boxes before any pink gets stranded on a non-box bottle. The first unlock fires the moment the T6 orange top is poured up onto the M2 wooden vault, dropping T6 to a green-over-cyan base and turning M2 into a small bottle holding a hidden pink-over- green mix.
- Opening
- Pour the small T1 yellow top down into the empty T5 dashed flask to start a yellow lane, so T1 drops to a purple-over-purple base and T5 becomes a single yellow. Pour the small T4 green top down into the empty M4 small flask to start a green lane, then pour the small T4 dark-red top across onto the dark-red base still inside T4 to start banking dark-red and drop T4 to a single red. Pour the small T2 green top across onto the M4 green lane to bank green, then pour the small T2 blue top down into the now-empty T2 base to start a blue lane. Pour the T6 orange top up onto the M2 wooden vault to pop the orange padlock, so T6 drops to a cyan-over-green base and M2 becomes a small bottle holding a hidden pink-over-green mix.
- Danger Zone
- Around move eight the board has only T5, M2, M4, B2 and B3 as flex slots, and the T3 cork plus the still-sealed B1 box are both still waiting on a fresh pink pour. Pour the T2 blue top into the M2 box before the orange key has unlocked it, and the M2 box stays sealed with a blue layer buried under a non-matching pour. Pour the M2 pink top onto the T3 cork before the M2 box has been opened, and the pink has nowhere to land so the T3 cork stays sealed for the rest of the run. Pour the T6 green top onto the still-closed M2 box, and the orange key is buried under a green layer with no path to the padlock. Keep the M2 pink pour heading into the T3 cork first, then take the released pink from T3 straight down into the B1 wooden vault so the second box can spawn its two sub-boxes before the pink gets stranded on a non-box bottle.
- Mechanics
- A cork plus two wooden vaults on a three-tier six-plus-four-plus- three grid with four starting empties and nine visible colors. The T3 cork only pops with pink, the M2 vault only pops with orange, and the B1 vault only pops with pink, so the entire middle of the run is a tightly ordered two-unlock sequence: open M2 with the T6 orange first, route the M2 pink into T3 to pop the cork, then route the released pink from T3 down into the still-closed B1 to spawn the two sub-boxes on B2 and B3. The skill is keeping T5, M4 and the two B2 / B3 sub-boxes clean between the two key pours, because the B1 sub-boxes can only be fed after the cork is gone and any pink that lands on a non-box bottle before B1 is unlocked strands the second key forever.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you open the two wooden vaults in Magic Sort Level 426?
The M2 middle-row vault pops when the T6 orange top is poured up onto it, and the B1 bottom-row vault pops when the pink slice that comes out of the M2 vault (routed through the corked T3) is poured down onto it. M2 must be opened first, then the released pink must flow through the T3 cork before B1 can spawn its two pink sub-boxes on B2 and B3.
Why does the corked T3 sit between the M2 and B1 vaults in Level 426?
T3 is the only bottle on the board that can accept the M2 pink pour, and the only bottle that can then release that pink into the B1 vault. If you skip the T3 cork and pour the M2 pink straight into a non-box bottle, the pink gets stranded and the B1 vault stays sealed with no way to spawn its two sub-boxes.
