Magic Sort level guide
Magic Sort Level 86 Walkthrough
Magic Sort Level 86 splits the board between an upper question-mark row and a lower blocker row, and the clean route is to settle the two right-side residue bottles for pale gray and yellow before orange and brown start moving.
Board Notes
- Layout
- Five question-mark bottles line the upper row, a sixth bottle on the far right begins feeding yellow into the board, and the bottom row is half blocked by four lotion bottles plus a pale-gray residue bottle and a yellow residue bottle on the right.
- Goal
- Use the residue bottles to claim pale gray and yellow first, keep the blockers passive, and only then let the darker lower bottles release orange and brown traffic.
- Opening
- Build yellow immediately on the far lower right, use the pale-gray residue bottle as quiet storage, and avoid waking the lower dark bottles before the upper red lane has a home.
- Danger Zone
- The board stalls when the lower dark bottles start feeding orange and brown while both residue bottles are still mixed.
- Mechanics
- The upper row wants to open first, but the lower blocker row only becomes safe after yellow and pale gray are already standing.
Quick Tips for Magic Sort Level 86 (spoiler-free)
- Settle the right-side residue pair before touching orange-brown cleanup.
- Keep the blocker row passive early.
- Let red and green separate on the top before opening the darker lower bottles.
How to Solve Magic Sort Level 86 — Full Solution
- Feed the far-right yellow residue bottle immediately so the board gains one reliable home.
- Use the pale-gray residue bottle beside it for quiet cleanup and keep the blocker row largely untouched.
- Separate the upper green, pink, and red traffic before the darker lower bottles begin releasing orange and brown.
- Once yellow and gray are stable, open the lower bottles and route orange plus brown through the now-safe center.
- Finish green, pink, red, purple, brown, and orange after the blocker row no longer has to shield the middle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should you solve first in Magic Sort Level 86?
Solve the two right-side residue bottles first so pale gray and yellow become anchors before orange and brown start crossing the center.
Why should the blockers wait in Magic Sort Level 86?
They are safer as passive support early; if they start doing live work too soon, the upper row has nowhere clean to release its next layers.
