Nut Sort level guide
Nut Sort Level 20 Walkthrough
Nut Sort Level 20 works best when you finish the far-right yellow peg first and keep the lower blue stack together while the three purple columns are peeled apart. The board is tiny, so one broken shuttle is enough to turn a clean sequence into a dead end.
Board Notes
- Layout
- Level 20 is a much smaller board than the other late-teen levels. Three tall purple columns dominate the top row, with a white-yellow peg already built on the far right. Beneath them sits one active blue column, one lower peg carrying a blue-yellow start, and a single empty slot on the lower right. The whole puzzle is compressed into six working posts instead of the wider four-over-three layout.
- Goal
- The first target is the far-right yellow peg because it gives the board its only early completion route. Once yellow is fed correctly, the three purple columns can be stripped in order and the remaining blue column becomes the main shuttle for the endgame.
- Opening
- The player opens by feeding the far-right yellow while keeping the lower blue stack intact. That creates enough room to start collapsing the purple trio from left to right. After the first purple clears, white and yellow swap jobs briefly, and only then does the board allow green and orange to appear for the final cleanup.
- Danger Zone
- The danger zone is the moment where the lower blue stack is asked to do too much. If blue is broken apart before the top purple columns are reduced, the board loses its only reliable shuttle and the last green-orange rotation becomes much harder to stage.
- Mechanics
- Level 20 is not about broad traffic management like Levels 16-19. It is a compact peeling puzzle where one finished yellow peg and one preserved blue shuttle control the entire solve.
Quick Tips for Nut Sort Level 20 (spoiler-free)
- This board is small enough that every stack has a job. If you break the lower blue shuttle too early, Level 20 stops being a color puzzle and becomes a space puzzle immediately.
- With 7 colors in play, clear the pair with the fewest blockers first so the board opens up instead of tightening.
- Think in chain clears. The best move is the one that sets up the next two moves, not just the quickest current match.
How to Solve Nut Sort Level 20 — Full Solution

- Peel the purple columns apart one at a time from left to right while white handles the short transfers.
