Magic Sort Level 435 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 435 is a 5+5 board anchored by two back-row 4-color mixers and one corked bottle hiding pink in the front row. Pop the cork with green first to release pink, then drain the two 4-color anchors top-first through the freed pink bottle and the lone empty.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 435 — Full Solution
- Pour the top green of B5 into the corked bottle B1 to pop the cork and release a hidden pink onto B1.
- Pour A3's pink and A5's pink onto B1's new pink top, emptying both pink singles and turning A3 and A5 into buffers.
- Route B2's top yellow onto A2's exposed yellow and B4's top purple onto A2's exposed purple, peeling A2 down to its blue and red bases.
- Pour A2's top blue onto A4's red top, then pour A5's top orange onto the empty B3 to start the orange lane.
- Use the freed A3 and A5 as buffers to top up purple, red, and yellow into their matching homes (A2, B3, B4).
- Pour B5's remaining green base onto the empty A3 to start the green lane, then top off every bottle so all ten end on one solid color.
Colors in this level:
Pink, Red, Blue, Yellow, Purple, Green, Orange
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Touching the 4-color anchors A2 or A5 before the cork is popped, so pink has nowhere to go and the two pink singles cannot drain.
- Pouring a stray blue, red, or yellow into B1 while pink is still parked there, which buries the freshly popped pink and forces the cork-pink loop to be redone.
- Spending B3 (the lone stable empty) on a color that could have gone straight onto a matching lane, leaving no room to peel the 4-color anchors.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 435 (spoiler-free)
- Pop the corked B1 with a green pour before touching the 4-color anchors A2 and A5.
- Pour A3's pink and A5's pink onto the freed B1 to finish both pink lanes in one move each.
- Reserve B3 (the lone empty) for the color you are peeling off the 4-color anchors.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Two tiers, 5+5 = ten bottles. The back row is an empty, two heavily mixed 4-color bottles A2 (blue, purple, red, yellow) and A5 (purple, red, blue, orange), and two single-color singles A3 (pink) and A4 (red). The front row is a corked bottle B1 (green top + cork sealing pink underneath), B2 (yellow over hidden), B3 (the lone true empty), B4 (purple over hidden), and B5 (green over yellow). One cork bottle, one stable empty, no locks, wraps, boxes, or magic overflow bottles.
- Goal
- Pop the cork on B1 with a green pour so the hidden pink enters play, then use the freed pink to absorb the two pink singles A3 and A5. After pink is consolidated, peel A2 and A5 top-first into matching lanes until every bottle holds one color.
- Opening
- Pour B5's top green into the corked B1 to pop the cork and release pink onto B1. With B1 now holding pink, pour A3's pink and A5's pink onto B1 to empty both pink singles. Route B2's top yellow onto A2's exposed yellow and B4's top purple onto A2's exposed purple to start peeling the 4-color anchor A2.
- Danger Zone
- B3 is the only stable empty on the board, and B1 turns empty the moment the cork pops. Use B1 first to receive pink and host the pink stack; reserve B3 for whatever color you are peeling off the 4-color anchors. Pouring a stray blue or red into B1 while pink is still parked there will lock pink under the wrong color and force the cork-pink loop to be redone.
- Mechanics
- Two 4-color anchors with a single corked bottle: A2 and A5 each hold four of the seven board colors, and they both have a pink segment above them as A3 and A5. The corked B1 hides the only remaining pink, so the whole puzzle is sequencing - pop the cork, soak up the two pink tops, then drain the 4-color anchors top-first through the freed B1 and the empty B3.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the very first move in Magic Sort Level 435?
Pour the top green of front-row B5 into the corked bottle B1 in the front row. The green pop the cork and releases a hidden pink onto B1, which is the only way to bring pink into play on a board that already has two pink singles on the back row.
Why are the two back-row 4-color bottles so hard to drain in Level 435?
A2 (blue, purple, red, yellow) and A5 (purple, red, blue, orange) each carry four of the seven colors, and they both have a pink top segment above them. Until B1's cork is popped and pink is freed, the two pink singles have no home and the 4-color anchors cannot be peeled without burying a color.
