To clear levels 941 through 950 in Magic Sort!, prioritize preserving at least one or two completely empty bottles as a buffer zone while consolidating matching top-layer colors to clear bottleneck containers.
Managing Empty Bottle Buffers
Maintaining open space is essential for navigating the complex liquid layers in this level bracket. Filling every available bottle with mixed colors limits your movement and can quickly cause an unrecoverable deadlock.
- Keep 1–2 slots open: Reserve completely empty bottles to serve as flexible temporary storage while shifting secondary colors out of the way.
- Avoid premature matching: If a partial color match fills your last empty bottle, hold off. Preserving an empty slot takes priority over making an incomplete match that clutters the board.
- Identify pivot containers: Focus early moves on emptying bottles that hold three or more different colors. Clearing these primary bottleneck containers turns them into the empty buffers needed to resolve the rest of the board.
Clearing Layered Colors Efficiently
Success in levels 941–950 relies on isolating dominant colors rather than shifting single segments randomly.
- Target large color blocks first: Move colors that appear in the largest overall quantities to consolidate space and uncover smaller, buried color fragments.
- Match identical top layers: When moving liquid into an occupied container, ensure the top layer of the destination bottle matches the incoming color to keep the stack pure.
- Consolidate dispersed colors: If a single color is split across top layers in three or more bottles, prioritize combining those matching segments into a single bottle to simplify the board layout.
Avoiding Common Sorting Traps
Over-sorting individual containers early in a stage often locks deeper layers into unsolvable layouts. Maintain a complete view of the board before committing your liquid moves.
- Check the base layer: Inspect the color at the bottom of a container before pouring onto it. Burying a color required early in the puzzle inflates move counts.
- Delay partial stacks: Avoid transferring two layers of a color into a bottle that already holds two layers of an unmatching color, as this seals off deeper liquid layers.
- Use Undo promptly: If a sequence restricts your remaining empty spaces or leaves no valid pours, use the Undo feature immediately rather than continuing into a lost position.

Nice guide. I am checking the other Magic Sort! articles next.
This guide answered the exact question I had.
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
This helped me understand strategy much better.
