To clear levels 2721 through 2730 in Magic Sort!, your immediate priority is creating and preserving at least one empty bottle to serve as a staging buffer. Because these late-game stages restrict the ratio of open containers to total liquid colors, filling every space prematurely traps deeper layers and forces a restart.
Early-Game Setup: Create a Buffer Bottle
Use your opening moves to empty a single container completely before attempting large-scale color consolidation.
- Focus on full extraction: Shift matching top layers off a target bottle until it contains no liquid.
- Maintain the open slot: Reserve this empty bottle exclusively for temporary transfers rather than filling it immediately with a partial color stack.
- Reveal base colors: Prioritize bottles containing only two color layers, moving the top color off immediately to expose the underlying liquid.
Stack Management Rules
When sorting multi-layered containers in the 2721–2730 level band, manage liquid layers systematically to avoid running out of available transfers:
- Target exposed colors: Identify the color that appears most frequently on the top layer across all bottles and consolidate it into a designated target vessel first.
- Limit color fragmentation: Keep any single color spread across no more than two bottles at a time to prevent unnecessary container occupation.
- Expose deep layers: If moving a color into a non-matching bottle temporarily reveals a required bottom layer, execute the move to unlock the blocked color stack.
Resolving High-Variety Bottlenecks and Deadlocks
Bottles holding three distinct color types present the highest risk of gridlock. Clear these high-variety containers early to maintain maximum board flexibility.
A deadlock occurs when every container is filled with mixed liquids and no valid transfers remain. If your board reaches a stagnant state, review your recent moves. Use the in-game undo function to step back two moves, then alter the transfer order of your top layers to reopen a viable path toward consolidation.

Good guide for Magic Sort! players. The early game part was useful.
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
Nice guide. I am checking the other Magic Sort! articles next.
