Light Blue → Blue. The lock won't open without its key.

Marble Sort Level 201 presents a 3x5 Top Tray packed with marbles, but a central black-and-gold counter with a '3' on it blocks the upper two rows. You must work around this obstacle to reach the Pink, Dark Blue, and Purple marbles hidden above. The bottom area starts with four active Boxes, but their demands don't align with the visible tray colors, so you need a precise sequence to avoid jamming the Conveyor Belt.

The bottom row of the Top Tray has Green on the left, Light Blue in the middle, and Red on the right. Above that Light Blue sits another Light Blue, and directly above that is the counter. The lower section's front row of Boxes, from left to right, asks for Purple, Light Blue, Dark Blue, and Light Blue. Notice that Purple is only up top, Dark Blue is shielded by Green on both sides, and Green and Red have no open Boxes initially—they're decoys that will clog your belt if tapped early.

Marble Sort Level 201 Walkthrough

To start, focus on the middle column: tap the bottom-center Light Blue, then the one above it. That will clear the front Light Blue Box in column two, revealing a Green Box behind it. Now you can safely deliver the bottom-left Green to that new Box. Next, tap the newly exposed Dark Blue on the left side to feed the open Dark Blue Box in column three. This sequence clears the path to the central counter.

The key is to avoid tapping the Red on the bottom right until you've broken the counter. The counter's '3' means you need to clear three adjacent blocks to shatter it. After your opening moves, you'll have exposed a Pink on the left, but no Pink Box is active yet, so leave it alone. Instead, keep clearing the Green and Dark Blue marbles that flank the counter, dropping them into the newly revealed bottom Boxes. Each clear reduces the counter's number. Once it breaks, the upper tray opens up, allowing you to access the Dark Blue in the upper middle and the Purple on the top right. Drop the Purple to clear the stubborn Purple Box that's been blocking column one from the start.

How to Beat Marble Sort Level 201 — Step-by-Step

Phase one: Clear the Center Path

  1. Tap the Light Blue block at the bottom center of the Top Tray; it feeds into the open Light Blue Box in column two.
  2. Tap the second Light Blue block directly above it; this clears that Box and reveals a Green Box behind it.
  3. Tap the Green block on the bottom left of the tray; it rolls into the new Green Box.
  4. Tap the Dark Blue block that becomes exposed on the left side; it goes into the Dark Blue Box in column three.

Phase two: Break the Central Counter

  1. Now that you've cleared the left and middle, focus on the right side. There's a Red block on the bottom right, but don't tap it yet—it has no open Box.
  2. Look for the Green blocks on the right side that are adjacent to the counter. Tap them to send them into the Green Box you opened earlier.
  3. As you clear these adjacent blocks, the counter's number decreases. Keep clearing the Dark Blue and Green marbles that are next to it.
  4. Once the counter shatters, you'll have access to the upper tray. Tap the Dark Blue block in the upper middle to clear a Dark Blue Box if one is open, or hold it if not.
  5. Finally, tap the Purple block on the top right to feed the open Purple Box in column one, clearing it and shifting the board.

Phase three: Handle the Late-Game Colors

  1. After the initial clears, new colors like Orange will appear in the bottom Boxes. Watch for an Orange Box to become active.
  2. Read the Conveyor Belt carefully. Only drop Orange or Pink marbles when their matching Box is at the very front, to avoid jams.
  3. Prioritize clearing any leftover Light Blue Boxes on the right side to keep the belt moving.
  4. Route your final Orange and Pink matches methodically, ensuring you don't queue a block if the needed Box is trapped behind another color.
  5. Continue clearing the remaining bottom columns in order until all marbles are sorted.

Tips & tricks

  • Always check the Conveyor Belt before making a move; if the next marble won't match an open Box, it's safer to stall.
  • Use the undo button if you accidentally tap a decoy color like Red early—it can save your run.
  • When the central counter is active, focus only on the colors that are adjacent to it; ignore the rest.

Common mistakes

  • Tapping the Red block on the bottom right before you've opened a Red Box—this will clog your belt.
  • Ignoring the Light Blue pair in the middle; without clearing them, you can't break the counter.
  • Dropping Pink or Orange marbles when their Box isn't in the front row—this causes a jam later.
