Marble Sort Level 117 — Walkthrough and Solution

Level 117 is the numbered block trap. The White block up front is bait — its Box is buried under a Red and a Hidden Box — so you clear Red, Brown and Purple first, then release the White once the centre grid opens.

⚡ Quick clear

Red → Purple. The lock won't open without its key.

Hidden Boxes own this board, and four numbered blocks hold it hostage — two outer blocks needing 5 clears and two centre blocks needing 3. Until you hit those numbers, the middle is dead space.

Two Tunnels sit at the very top, holding four marbles each. The playable row reads White, Red, Brown and Purple, with Green, Purple, Brown, Green and a single Pink behind them.

Marble Sort Level 117 Walkthrough

Column one opens with a Red Box (then Hidden, then White); column two with Brown (then Green, then Brown); column three with Purple (then Yellow); column four with Green (then Red). The White marbles up front look tempting, but there's no active White Box — the closest is buried in column one under a Red and a Hidden Box.

Release the White early and it chokes the belt. Your whole opening is ignoring that White block while you feed Red, Brown and Purple.

How to Beat Marble Sort Level 117 — Step-by-Step

Survive the opening bait

  1. Send the Red block into the Red Box in column one — this ticks the counters and flips the first Hidden Box.
  2. Send the Brown block into the Brown Box in column two, revealing a Green Box underneath.
  3. Send the Purple block into the Purple Box in column three, exposing Yellow.
  4. Leave the White block exactly where it is.
  5. Send the Green blocks to clear column four's Green Box and column two's newly exposed Green Box.

Crack the Hidden grid

  1. The two centre 3-blocks break and the grey Hidden Boxes dump Light Blue, Yellow, Pink and Bright Green.
  2. Column two and three now expose White Boxes — release the starting White block you left behind.
  3. Shift to the outer 5-blocks, matching Pink, Yellow and Red from the revealed centre to tick them down.

Empty the Tunnels

  1. Breaking the 5-blocks unlocks the far-left and far-right sides of the tray.
  2. Light Blue and Orange Boxes cycle up — sort the newly exposed outer marbles into them.
  3. Pop the top Tunnels only when the board is nearly empty, keeping three open slots for their dark green or bright blue dumps.
  4. Match the final tunnel drops and finish without rushing.

Tips & tricks

  • The White block is the level's bait — hold it until the centre grid opens a White Box.
  • Feed Red, Brown and Purple in order to break the centre 3-blocks fast.
  • Keep three slots open before triggering the top Tunnels.

Common mistakes

  • Releasing the White block early — no active White Box exists, so it chokes the belt.
  • Triggering a Tunnel with a crowded belt and letting the dump overflow you.
