Nut Sort Level 12 Walkthrough
Nut Sort Level 12 works best when you start the pink build on the lower middle peg and refuse to spend both empty white posts at once. The board looks generous, but the top-right purple stack only comes apart cleanly if one shuttle lane is still being protected for it.
Board Notes
- Layout
- Level 12 opens with the same broad four-over-three board, but every top post is taller and more colorful than Level 11. A yellow-white stack sits on the upper left, the two center posts carry layered pink, blue, green, and peach colors, and the far-right top post begins with a red-and-blue cap over a purple ending. The middle row adds four more mixed stacks, while two white pegs and one bare lower slot wait underneath.
- Goal
- The first stable target is the pink column that gets built on the lower middle peg. That lower pink anchor matters because the far-right purple-white stack later needs one of the empty pegs for a clean split, and the board only has enough room if pink is already out of the traffic lane.
- Opening
- The player starts by dropping one pink onto the lower middle peg, then adds the second pink quickly so that peg becomes useful instead of awkward. Only after that does the run begin lifting the red-blue blocker from the far-right top stack and opening space for the purple and green pieces in the middle row.
- Danger Zone
- The crisis comes if both white pegs are spent before the lower pink column is settled. Once the purple-white stack on the top right wants to move, there is only one safe shuttle left, so using both pegs as temporary storage too early makes the cleanup much harder than it should be.
- Mechanics
- Level 12 is the first early board that feels roomy but is actually strict about lane ownership. The solve is not about one hidden pair; it is about reserving one white peg for the top-right split while the lower pink anchor is being built.
Quick Tips for Nut Sort Level 12 (spoiler-free)
- The lower pink stack should be created early, but it should not cost you both empty pegs. One peg builds pink; the other peg has to stay in reserve for the top-right split.
- With 8 colors in play, clear the pair with the fewest blockers first so the board opens up instead of tightening.
- If the board feels stuck, look for the color with the cleanest path and use that to regain space.
How to Solve Nut Sort Level 12 — Full Solution
- Drop the first pink onto the lower middle peg instead of opening the red side first.
- Add the second pink right away so the lower middle lane becomes an anchor instead of a temporary mess.
- Keep one white peg unused while you peel the red-blue blocker away from the top-right stack.
- Use that reserved shuttle to separate the purple-white side and to free the green stack underneath it.
- Finish the red-orange and silver-heavy columns only after pink and purple no longer depend on the same white peg.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the top-right side get stuck in Nut Sort Level 12?
It usually gets stuck because both white pegs were already used elsewhere before the lower pink anchor was settled.
