Magic Sort! Level 799 Guide: Clear Order and Bottle Routing

To beat Level 799 in Magic Sort!, consolidate split liquid layers into designated holding tubes while keeping at least one bottle completely empty as an active transfer buffer. Work top-down to expose trapped matching colors, avoid dumping single-unit color segments into empty utility bottles prematurely, and finish full monochromatic tubes one by one to permanently free up board space.

Managing Buffer Space to Prevent Deadlocks

A deadlock occurs when every bottle contains mismatched liquid layers with no empty slots or matching tops available. Liquid can only pour onto an identical color or into an empty bottle, and transfers cannot exceed the standard four-unit tube capacity. Maintaining a clean transfer lane is necessary to cycle blocking colors out of the way.

Follow these rules when handling open bottles:

• Require Immediate Access: Only pour a blocking segment into an empty tube if that transfer directly reveals a matching layer underneath or combines identical units.
• Avoid Premature Stashes: Do not deposit an isolated single unit of a color into an empty tube if that color has no viable match available on the board.
• Preserve Capacity: Keep at least two open units of space in your primary transit tube so multi-unit pours do not stall out.
• Evacuate Buffers Quickly: When a matching stack opens up elsewhere, immediately transfer liquid out of the buffer bottle to restore your open slot.

Phase-by-Phase Clear Order

Clear Level 799 methodically by progressing through three distinct phases: surface clearing, dominant color consolidation, and endgame cascading.

1. Opening: Unblock Surface Layers

Scan the top layer of all starting tubes. Identify the color that appears most frequently on the surface. Pour these matching segments together into a single partially filled tube or consolidate them to reveal the deeper segments underneath. Do not commit an empty starting bottle to a color until you have cleared matching surface pairs.

2. Mid-Game: Consolidate Dominant Stacks

Once surface caps are cleared, locate the dominant color—the hue with three or four visible segments across the top two layers of different bottles. Consolidate these segments into a single tube to lock in your first complete four-unit color. Completing your first bottle permanently removes that color from play and creates a dedicated open lane.

3. Endgame: Clear Shallow Mixed Bases

After locking in two full tubes, transition to clearing the bottles with the shallowest mixed bases. Pour the top layer into its matching consolidated tube, then move the bottom segment into its respective color lane. Each tube emptied to its glass base becomes an additional buffer to cycle the remaining mixed colors into finished four-unit tubes.

Move Validation Check

Before initiating any pour, check two layers deep. If moving Color A off a tube exposes Color B, confirm that Color B has an open receiving container with matching liquid or an available empty utility slot. If Color B cannot be moved anywhere legally, leave Color A in place until an intermediate route opens up.
