Magic Sort level guide
Magic Sort Level 436 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 436 is a near-sorted 3-tier board with seven single-color bottles, two brown mixers, one corked bottle hiding the second pink, and a locked wooden box hiding a five-segment stack (green, cyan, red, purple, pink) that includes the only green. Pop the cork on M2 with T4's pink first, fill the box's three weights with blue, green and red to crack it open, then route the box's released stack back into the existing pink, cyan, red, purple and green lanes using the two browns and the freed T4 as swing buffers.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 436 — Full Solution
- Pour T4's full pink into the corked M2 to pop the cork and reveal a pink base; the rest of T4's pink fills M2 into the only pink bottle, and T4 becomes your swing buffer.
- Pour T2's blue into B2's first weight slot so the box's scale tips to 1/3 blue.
- Pour T3's green into B2's second weight slot so the scale tips to 2/3 green/blue.
- Pour B1's red into B2's third weight slot; the lock pops and the wooden box drops its hidden five-segment stack (green, cyan, red, purple, pink) as a new bottle at B2.
- Pour the box's top pink onto M2's pink top to consolidate pink, then pour the box's purple onto T3's purple top to finish the purple lane.
- Pour the box's red onto B1's red top to finish the red lane, then pour the box's cyan onto M3's cyan top to finish the cyan lane.
- Pour the box's green base onto the freed T4 to start the green home, then drain M1 brown and B3 brown top-first into the brown lane using the freed M1 as a swing buffer for the leftover green.
- Top off every bottle so all eleven slots end on a single color, with M2 holding the consolidated pink, B2 holding the green home, and the box's five segments fully routed into the existing lanes.
Colors in this level:
Yellow, Blue, Dark green, Pink, Brown, Cyan, Orange, Red, Green, Purple
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring a wrong color into B2 while the box's weight meter is at 1/3 or 2/3, which resets the three already-queued weights and forces you to refill blue, green and red from scratch.
- Pouring the box's green or cyan onto M2 after the cork pops, which buries the only second pink under a wrong color and forces the cork-pink loop to be redone.
- Draining the two browns (M1 or B3) before the box's green has a home, which leaves the only green segment stranded in a box that's now empty and locks green out of the rest of the sort.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 436 (spoiler-free)
- Pop the corked M2 with T4's full pink before you touch the box's three weights.
- Fill the wooden box B2 with three different colors (blue, green, red) to crack the lock in one go before any other sort.
- Once the box opens, route its pink onto M2, its purple onto T3, its red onto B1, its cyan onto M3, and start the green home with the box's green base in the freed T4 or emptied brown slot.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Three tiers, eleven slots — 4 small top + 4 large middle + 3 small bottom. The top row is four full single-color small bottles: T1 yellow, T2 blue, T3 dark green, T4 pink. The middle row is four large bottles: M1 brown, M2 a tall white corked bottle (cork cap on top, hiding a pink base underneath), M3 cyan, M4 orange. The bottom row is three small items: B1 red, B2 a locked wooden box (orange wood frame, lock dial, three empty weight slots inside), and B3 brown. One corked bottle, one wooden box, zero starting empties.
- Goal
- Pop the cork on M2 with T4's pink so the only second pink joins play, then fill the wooden box B2's three weight slots with three different colors to crack the lock and drop the box's five-segment hidden stack (green, cyan, red, purple, pink) as a new bottle. After both unlocks, route the box's segments back into the existing lanes so all eleven slots end on a single color with green, pink, cyan, red, purple, blue, brown, orange and yellow each having their own bottle.
- Opening
- Pour T4's full pink into the corked M2 so the cork pops and a pink base appears underneath the cork, then keep pouring the rest of T4's pink onto the now-open M2 so M2 becomes a full pink bottle and T4 is an empty swing buffer. Pour T2's blue into B2's first weight slot, pour T3's green into B2's second weight slot, and pour B1's red into B2's third weight slot to crack the box lock and release the hidden five-segment stack as a new bottle at B2.
- Danger Zone
- B2 is the wooden box's slot for the whole opening, so never pour a wrong color into a partially filled box or the three queued weights reset. Once the box opens, M2 must stay the pink home — pouring the box's green or cyan onto M2 will bury pink under a wrong color and force the cork-pink loop to be redone. The two browns (M1 and B3) are the only stable bottom buffers after the box opens, so never let two different colors share a brown slot.
- Mechanics
- A cork + wooden box combo on a tidy 3-tier, eleven-slot board. The corked M2 hides the only second pink, and the box B2 hides a five-segment multi-color stack (green, cyan, red, purple, pink from bottom to top) that contains the only green on the board. The puzzle is sequencing — pop the cork first so pink is in play, fill the box's three weights before any other sort so the box's release becomes a clean fourth bottom bottle, then route the box's mix back into the existing lanes while the two browns drain into the brown home.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you pop the cork on M2 in Magic Sort Level 436?
Pour T4's full pink into the corked M2. The pink matches the hidden color under the cork, so the cork pops off and a pink base appears underneath. Keep pouring the rest of T4's pink onto the now-open M2 so M2 becomes the only pink bottle on the board, and T4 becomes your swing buffer for the rest of the sort.
How many colors do you need to pour into the wooden box B2 to crack it open?
The wooden box B2 has a three-weight scale, so it needs three different color pours to fill the meter. Pour T2's blue into the first slot, T3's green into the second slot, and B1's red into the third slot — the lock pops and the box drops its hidden five-segment stack (green, cyan, red, purple, pink) as a new bottle at B2.
Why is the wooden box B2 the real bottleneck in Level 436?
The box hides a five-segment multi-color stack that includes the only green on the board, plus a second pink, cyan, red and purple. Until the box is cracked, the only green has no home and the second pink cannot be consolidated onto M2. Fill the box's three weight slots with blue, green and red in that order so the released stack lands as a clean fourth bottom bottle and every segment has a lane to route into.
