Marble Sort Level 189 — Walkthrough and Solution

Marble Sort Level 189 is a cramped puzzle dominated by Orange, Green, Dark Grey, and Pink marbles. The key is to feed the front connected boxes in order, ignoring the tempting upper marbles until the center unlocks. Start by clearing the left pair of connected boxes, then the right pair, and only then engage the linked outer marbles to pull the yellow pins.

The Top Tray forms an hourglass shape, with two yellow pins locking the middle columns, trapping Purple and Orange underneath. The outer edges have horizontal links: Pink-Orange and Purple-Green pairs that drop together. Below, the front row has two connected box sets: left Green+Orange, right Dark Grey+Brown. These must be filled simultaneously to drop. The bright Pink and Purple at the very top are decoys; do not tap them early.

Marble Sort Level 189 Walkthrough

Front-row connected boxes: left pair demands Green and Orange, right pair demands Dark Grey and Brown. Fill both boxes of a pair at the same time to clear them. The bottom row of the Top Tray exposes these colors from the start, so you can feed them directly.

The specific trap: tapping a linked marble (e.g., Pink-Orange) pulls its partner down unexpectedly. If you haven't cleared the front boxes, you'll have no active receiver for the partner, jamming the conveyor. Also, the yellow center pins block access to the middle columns until the correct boxes are cleared.

How to Beat Marble Sort Level 189 — Step-by-Step

Phase one: Clear the front connected boxes

1. Tap the bottom-most exposed Orange marble from the Top Tray's bottom row.
2. Send it to the left Orange box.
3. Tap a Green marble from the same bottom row and deliver it to the left Green box.
4. Repeat steps 2-3 until both left boxes are full simultaneously.
5. Once the left pair drops, shift to the right side.
6. Route Dark Grey marbles to the right Dark Grey box.
7. Feed Brown marbles to the right Brown box.
8. Fill both right boxes together to clear them.

Phase two: Unlock the center columns

1. After the front row clears, new boxes slide forward, likely Light Green, Pink, and Purple.
2. Now you can safely tap the linked Pink-Orange pair from the outer edge, since both colors have active boxes.
3. Guide the Pink and Orange marbles into their respective boxes.
4. Also tap the linked Purple-Green pair, sending Purple to a Purple box and Green to a Green box.
5. Continue feeding the boxes that correspond to the center locks; clearing them will pull the yellow pins.
6. Watch the conveyor belt: pulling linked pairs fills it twice as fast, so ensure both colors have open boxes.
7. Once the pins retract, the center columns drop, releasing a flood of Purple, Orange, and Red marbles.

Phase three: Survive the mid-board squeeze

1. Prioritize clearing one entire side of the lower boxes to reveal hidden colors.
2. Use the newly unlocked center marbles to feed the remaining front boxes.
3. If a color arrives on the conveyor without an active box, stop tapping and find a quick three-marble clear to cycle boxes.
4. Leave the solid blocks of Red and Pink in the top corners for last; only tap them when their boxes are active.
5. Keep the conveyor clear, finish any remaining linked pairs, and the board will empty.

Tips & tricks

• Always fill both boxes of a connected pair before moving on; partial filling wastes space.
• Never tap a linked marble unless both colors have active receiving boxes.
• Use the conveyor as a buffer, but avoid letting it fill completely; plan three-marble clears.

Common mistakes

• Tapping the upper Pink and Purple marbles early leads to conveyor jams because their boxes aren't active.
• Filling one connected box fully while ignoring its partner blocks the board.
• Forgetting to check for hidden colors before tapping can force wasteful moves.
