Magic Sort Level 429 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 429 is a tight two-tier board with ten bottles, two red-corked seals and a single empty buffer. Free B1 by routing T1's pink into B4 and T1's brown into B5, use B2's red bottom to pop T2's cork, then route T2's orange into T3's red cork to release the hidden core before finishing every lane.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 429 — Full Solution
- Pour T1's top pink into the empty B1, then pour B1's pink onto B4 to merge and free B1.
- Pour T1's brown into B1, T1's blue onto T4's blue top, then B1's brown onto B5 to merge and clear T1.
- Pour red from B2's red bottom onto T2's red cork to pop the seal; the orange/red core drops into play.
- Pour T2's exposed orange onto T3's red cork to pop the second seal, releasing the hidden white/dark core.
- Merge B2's green and yellow onto T5's green top to free B2's red as a fresh red source.
- Pour T2's remaining red onto T3's red top to begin the red stack, and pour T3's exposed dark base into B3's blue.
- Pour B3's red onto T3 to finish the red lane, and route the remaining loose colors onto matching tops.
- Top off every bottle so all ten end on a single color, with T1, B1 and B5 as the brown anchors.
Colors in this level:
Pink, Brown, Blue, Red, Orange, White, Dark, Black, Green, Yellow
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring a non-red color onto T2 or T3 before the corks are popped, which buries the red seal under the wrong top.
- Wasting B2's red bottom on a generic merge before T2's cork is open, which leaves you no clean red to trigger the seal.
- Forgetting that B1 is the only starting empty — every other "free" pour has to first merge into B4, B5 or a matching top.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 429 (spoiler-free)
- Pop T2's red cork first using red from the bottom of B2, then route T2's exposed orange onto T3's red cork to pop the second seal.
- Use B1 as the only working buffer — merge T1's pink onto B4 and T1's brown onto B5 before you start the cork chain.
- Save B2's red bottom for the first cork pop; do not waste it on a generic merge before T2 is open.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Two tiers, no magic bottles, no boxes, no wraps. The top row is five bottles — a pink/brown/blue three-color, an orange/red two-color sealed under a red cork, a white-cored bottle sealed under a second red cork with a dark base, a blue-on-black two-color, and a black-bottom green-on-top two-color. The bottom row is five bottles — a single empty B1, a green/yellow/red three-color, a red/blue two-color, a full pink, and a full brown. Ten bottles, two corks, one empty.
- Goal
- Pop both red corks and route every color into a single bottle. The real bottleneck is that B1 is the only buffer, the only red you can pour onto the corks sits at the bottom of B2 and on top of B3, and the pink/brown anchors in B4 and B5 must stay clean for their merge targets.
- Opening
- Pour T1's top pink into the empty B1, then pour B1's pink onto B4 to merge and free B1. Pour T1's brown into B1, T1's blue onto T4's blue top, then B1's brown onto B5 to merge. Now B1 is empty, T1 is cleared, and the board is ready to take red onto T2's cork.
- Danger Zone
- Do not pour a non-red color onto T2 or T3 before their corks are popped — the cork is hidden under the first layer and any wrong top buries it for the rest of the run. Also, do not consume B2's red bottom as a general buffer pour before T2's cork is popped, because B2's red is the only clean red on the top half of the board once T2 still hides its orange.
- Mechanics
- A double-cork opener on a tight two-tier grid — two red-sealed bottles, exactly one starting empty, and two pre-sorted pink/brown anchors that double as merge targets. The whole puzzle is freeing B1 without losing the pink or brown lane, then chaining the two cork pops.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the only empty bottle B1 such a problem in Magic Sort Level 429?
Both T2 and T3 are sealed with red corks, and you must pour red onto each cork to release its hidden color. B1 is the only working buffer, so before you can chain the two cork pops you have to merge T1's pink onto B4 and T1's brown onto B5 to keep B1 free as a red receiver.
Which red should I use to pop the first cork in Level 429?
Use the red sitting at the bottom of B2. It is the only clean red on the top half of the board while T2 is still sealed, and it lets T2's exposed orange flow straight into T3's red cork to pop the second seal on the next move.
