Magic Sort level guide
Magic Sort Level 440 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 440 is a three-tier, thirteen-bottle cork-pop board where the cork layer sits at the bottom instead of the top, anchored by five small corked mini bottles with green caps (m1 purple, m2-m5 orange) and two wide middle buffers (M1 empty, M2 purple over pink). Pop the m1 purple cork with M2's top purple first to free the hidden purple stack, drain the six top two-color mixers (B1 red/yellow, B2 yellow/blue, B3 blue/orange, B4 orange/yellow, B5 yellow/pink, B6 pink/green) top-first through the freed middle slots, then pour orange into m2-m5 in succession to release the four hidden orange segments and grow the top orange lane. The real bottleneck is depth-aware pour order: the purple in M2 must reach m1 before any pink lands on M2, and the four orange corks can only be popped after B3 and B4 are peeled to expose orange at the top.

How to Solve Magic Sort Level 440 — Full Solution
- Pour M2's top purple down onto m1's green cork to pop the purple cork and reveal a full purple stack at m1, then pour m1's purple into M1 to bank a purple buffer in the middle row.
- Pour M2's now-exposed pink onto B5's pink base to merge the two pinks and free M2 as a working buffer, then peel B6's pink onto the parked pink at B5 so B5 becomes a full pink bottle.
- Pour B6's exposed green into the empty M2 to start a green lane, then peel B1's red top onto a freed top slot to start the red lane and pour B1's yellow onto the parked yellow at B2 or B5 to grow the yellow lane.
- Peel B2's yellow top onto the parked yellow lane, then pour B2's blue onto B3's blue top to start consolidating the blue stack at B3 so B3's orange is exposed at the top.
- Peel B4's orange top down onto m2's green cork to pop the orange cork and reveal a full orange stack at m2, then pour m2's orange onto the parked orange lane (or B3's exposed orange) to grow the orange stack.
- Repeat the orange cork pop on m3, m4, and m5 in succession, each time pouring the released orange onto the parked orange in the top row until the orange lane is fully grown and m2-m5 are emptied.
- Use the freed M1, M2, m1 and the emptied m2-m5 as final buffers to top off red, blue, orange, yellow, pink and green into B1-B6, then confirm every top bottle ends on a single color with the parked purple sitting in the middle or in m1.
Colors in this level:
Red, Yellow, Blue, Orange, Pink, Green, Purple
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring pink, red, green, blue or yellow onto the m1 purple cork, which still breaks the seal but strands a mismatched color on top of m1 and burns the only purple-on-the-board you needed to start the sort.
- Pouring pink, red, green, blue, yellow or purple onto any of the four orange corks (m2-m5), which still breaks the seal but strands a mismatched color on top of the released orange bottle and buries the only orange source needed to feed the next cork.
- Skipping the peel of B3 and B4 before trying to pop the orange corks, so the orange trigger never reaches the top of either bottle and the four m2-m5 corks stay sealed.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 440 (spoiler-free)
- Pop the m1 purple cork first with M2's top purple, then pour that purple into M1 to bank a purple buffer in the middle row before touching any of the orange corks.
- Peel the blue top off B3 and the yellow top off B4 first so the buried orange rises to the top, because the four orange corks on m2-m5 can only be popped by a real orange pour.
- Never pop the m1 purple cork with anything but purple, and never pop an orange cork with anything but orange — a wrong pour still breaks the seal but strands the wrong color on top of the released bottle and costs an extra pour to clear.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Three tiers, thirteen bottle positions, no locks, wraps, boxes, magic overflows, or starting empty in the top row. The top row is six tall standard two-color mixers: B1 red over yellow, B2 yellow over blue, B3 blue over orange, B4 orange over yellow, B5 yellow over pink, B6 pink over green. The middle row is two wider, shorter buffer bottles: M1 starts empty, M2 starts purple over pink. The bottom row is five small corked mini bottles with green caps — m1 hides purple, and m2, m3, m4 and m5 each hide a single orange layer. The two middle wider bottles are the only flexible buffers, and the five bottom mini corks are the only special tiles on the board.
- Goal
- Pop all five bottom corks by pouring their matching color onto the green cap, drain the six top two-color mixers top-first through the freed middle buffers and the now-open mini bottles, then top off every top bottle so each lands on a single color. The first unlock that matters is the m1 purple cork: M2's top purple is the only purple source, and pouring it onto m1 frees the hidden purple into the bottom row so the two wide middle slots can pivot to handling the four orange mini bottles. The chokepoint is depth-aware pour order, not raw empties, because the purple trigger lives at the very top of M2 and the four orange triggers live at the very bottom of B3 and B4.
- Opening
- Pour M2's top purple down onto m1's green cork to pop the purple cork and reveal a full purple stack at m1, then pour m1's purple into M1 to bank a purple buffer in the middle row. Pour M2's now-exposed pink onto B5's pink base to merge the two pinks and free M2 as a working buffer, then peel B6's pink onto the parked pink at B5 so B5 becomes a full pink bottle. Pour B6's exposed green into the empty M2 to start a green lane in the middle row.
- Danger Zone
- The four orange corks on m2-m5 are the trap. Orange only sits at the bottom of B3 and B4 in the top row, so the four orange corks can only be popped by peeling the blue top off B3 and the yellow top off B4 first, then routing the exposed orange into m2-m5. Pouring pink, red, green, blue or yellow onto any of the four orange corks still breaks the seal but strands a mismatched color on top of the released orange bottle, which costs an extra pour to clear and buries the only orange source you needed to feed the next cork. Also, do not pop the m1 purple cork with anything but purple — using pink, orange, blue, green, red or yellow strands that color on top of m1 and burns the only purple-on-the-board you needed to start the sort.
- Mechanics
- A three-tier, thirteen-bottle cork-pop board where the cork layer sits at the bottom row instead of the top, and the top six are all 2-color mixes. The five small bottom-row corked mini bottles each hold exactly one hidden color (m1 purple, m2-m5 orange), and the trigger for each is the matching top color. Because the two wide middle buffers can hold three layers each, the puzzle is depth-aware pour order: pop the m1 purple cork first to free M2 as a pink receiver, peel B1-B6 top-first to expose the buried orange at the base of B3 and B4, then pour orange into m2-m5 in succession to release the four hidden orange segments and route them into the orange lane in the top row.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the first pour in Magic Sort Level 440?
Pour M2's top purple down onto m1's green cork. M2 is the only bottle on the board that holds purple, so the purple must move out before the rest of the sort can start. The pour pops the m1 green cork, reveals a full purple stack at m1, and frees M2 down to a clean pink receiver so the next pour can merge M2's pink with B5's pink and open the rest of the middle row.
How do the four orange corks on m2-m5 get popped in Level 440?
Orange only sits at the bottom of B3 and B4 in the top row, so the first step is to peel the blue top off B3 and the yellow top off B4 so orange rises to the top. With orange exposed at B3 or B4, pour it down onto m2's green cork to pop m2 and release a hidden orange stack, then repeat on m3, m4 and m5. Each pop releases one orange, and the four released oranges join the parked orange in the top row so the orange lane grows to a full single-color bottle.
Why is M2 the most important bottle in Level 440?
M2 starts with purple on top and pink underneath, which means it is the only source for the purple cork pop on m1 and it is also the receiver for the pink that has to merge with B5's pink. The first pour (purple onto m1) clears the top of M2 so the second pour (M2's pink onto B5) can land cleanly, and that sequence is what frees M2 to act as a working buffer for the green lane and any later peeling moves.
