Marble Sort Level 228 — Walkthrough and Solution

Marble Sort Level 228 is a hidden-box puzzle where the top tray forms a staircase against the left wall, seven rows deep on the left and tapering to one row on the right. The bottom row is fully visible, but above it sit alternating layers of grey hidden boxes and visible colors. Your goal is to clear all marbles into matching bins, but the hidden layers hide the exact colors you need, forcing careful reveals.

The board starts with four lower columns. Their top slots demand, from left to right: Pink, Pink, Brown, and Orange. In the visible bottom row of the top tray, you see (left to right): Dark Green, Mint Green, Light Blue, Yellow, Orange, Light Pink, and Dark Red. Above that bottom row, a solid band of six hidden boxes blocks your view. Higher up, you can spot a visible row with Dark Grey, Dark Grey, Cyan, Purple, and Dark Blue, then another hidden layer, then a row with Dark Red, Pink, Dark Blue, and finally a single Yellow at the very top left. The key trap: no Brown is visible anywhere, and the only Pink is buried under multiple hidden layers. The only immediate safe move is the Orange in the fifth position of the bottom row, which matches the top of column four. Tapping any other visible color will jam your conveyor belt, as you have no space to hold the random marbles you'll uncover.

Marble Sort Level 228 Walkthrough

Your starting lower columns demand Pink, Pink, Brown, and Orange. But the visible tray shows no Brown, and Pink is hidden five rows up. The only valid first move is the Orange block in the fifth slot of the bottom row, which fills the top of column four. The other visible blocks—Light Pink, Dark Red, Yellow—are decoys; touching them will fill your belt with unusable colors.

The critical imbalance: the left side of the top tray is seven rows deep, while the right side is only one row. If you focus on the shallow right, you'll leave a tall column that becomes impossible to dismantle. So you must aggressively clear left-side blocks to expose hidden layers and find the Pink and Brown you need.

How to Beat Marble Sort Level 228 — Step-by-Step

Phase one: Expose the hidden Pink and Brown

1. Tap the Orange block in the fifth slot of the bottom row (the one directly above the top of column four). This clears the Orange requirement and opens the conveyor.
2. Leave the Light Pink, Dark Red, and Yellow blocks alone for now; they are traps.
3. From the far left of the bottom row, tap the Dark Green, Mint Green, and Light Blue blocks in that order. This sends them to the conveyor and reveals the leftmost hidden boxes above them.
4. Now tap the newly revealed hidden boxes one by one. Watch for Pink or Brown—when they drop, they'll automatically fill the waiting slots in columns one, two, and three, freeing up space.
5. Continue revealing hidden boxes until all top slots in columns one to three are filled with Pink and Brown, clearing the first wave.

Phase two: Clear the middle layers

1. Once the lower board shifts, new demands appear for Dark Grey, Purple, Mint Green, and Dark Blue.
2. From the third visible row of the top tray (the one with Dark Grey, Cyan, Purple, Dark Blue), match the Dark Grey and Purple to the new lower slots in columns one and two.
3. This exposes the next layer of four hidden boxes. Tap them immediately to see what they hold, and deal with any colors that match current demands.
4. Keep prioritizing left-side removals. Work from the leftmost columns whenever possible to reduce the tall stack.
5. Continue cycling through hidden boxes and visible matches, always clearing left-side blocks first.

Phase three: Finish the peak

1. When you reach the fifth visible row (Dark Red, Pink, Dark Blue), drop those into their matching bins.
2. Tap the two remaining hidden boxes on row six, and immediately clear whatever colors they release.
3. Finally, tap the lone Yellow at the very top left peak and drop it into the last Yellow bin to complete the level.

Tips & tricks

• Always clear the left side of the top tray first to avoid a tall stack you can't reach.
• Use the conveyor belt wisely—only send blocks that match an open slot or that you need to reveal hidden boxes.
• When you reveal a hidden box, if it doesn't match a current demand, try to park it temporarily in an empty column if available, but avoid filling your belt.

Common mistakes

• Tapping visible colors like Yellow or Light Pink at the start, which clogs the belt and blocks progress.
• Ignoring the left side of the staircase, letting it grow too tall to clear efficiently.
• Revealing hidden boxes without having space in the conveyor or columns, causing a jam.
