Blue → Pink. The Blue wall blocks the row behind it.

This is a puzzle that looks harder than it is. The main obstacle is a 3x3 set of gray blocks in the center, each marked with a question mark. To beat Marble Sort Level 167, you need to work from the outside edges inward, clearing Dark Blue and Brown marbles early to unlock the center.

The top tray has a playable outer ring. Across the top row, you'll find Yellow, Red, and Pink. Down the left side, there is Light Blue, Orange, and Dark Blue. On the right side, Dark Green, Light Green, and Yellow appear. Near the bottom center of the tray, there is a small group with White, Light Blue, and Dark Blue.

Marble Sort Level 167 Walkthrough

The bottom boxes that start the level are, from left to right, three Dark Blue boxes and one Brown box. That means your immediate goal is to feed Dark Blue and Brown marbles to those slots.

The trap is that Brown is not visible at first. It's hidden under the left side. Also, the White and Light Blue marbles near the bottom center are tempting to tap, but they should be avoided until later because they don't match any early bottom boxes.

How to Beat Marble Sort Level 167 — Step-by-Step

Phase one: Clearing the Dark Blue and Brown

  1. Tap the Dark Blue marble on the middle-left edge of the top tray and send it down.
  2. Then tap the Dark Blue marble cluster at the bottom center of the tray to clear one or two Dark Blue bottom boxes.
  3. Leave the White and Light Blue marbles alone for now.
  4. With the left side open, peel away the Orange or Light Blue marble on that edge if you have free conveyor space, aiming to reveal the Brown marble underneath.
  5. Once Brown appears, deliver it to the Brown bottom box, then clear the remaining Dark Blue boxes.

Phase two: Unlocking the center grid

  1. After the first row is gone, the next bottom boxes need Green, Red, White, and Pink. Now shift attention to the top right.
  2. Drop the Dark Green and Light Green marbles from the top right, and also pull the Red marble from the top row.
  3. As you clear Red and Pink from the top perimeter, the center hidden grid will start revealing its colors. Do not tap them rapidly.
  4. Only drop a revealed color if it matches a current bottom box need. For example, if you reveal Yellow but need Green, keep it on the conveyor.
  5. Now that the bottom boxes need White, tap that White marble you ignored earlier and clear it.

Phase three: Handling the final columns

  1. In the late game, the bottom boxes alternate between Pink, Light Blue, and Purple. Keep at least two conveyor slots empty at all times.
  2. Prioritize dropping Pink and Purple as soon as they appear from hidden boxes or top corners because those bottom boxes stack up.
  3. After Pink and Purple are gone, the Orange and Light Blue marbles you saved on the conveyor will finally match the remaining bottom boxes. Match them to finish the level.

Tips & tricks

  • Always check the bottom row before tapping any top marble to avoid filling the conveyor with useless colors.
  • When the center grid reveals multiple colors, plan your next three taps so you don't get stuck.
  • Keep the conveyor as empty as possible early on; it gives you flexibility when hidden blocks appear.

Common mistakes

  • Tapping the White and Light Blue marbles at the bottom center too early, which clogs the conveyor.
  • Revealing too many hidden boxes at once without having matching bottom slots ready.
  • Ignoring the need to keep two empty conveyor slots late in the level, leading to a jam.
