Marble Sort Level 23 — Walkthrough and Solution

Marble Sort Level 23 traps you the moment you read the board. Pink, Orange, Yellow, and Black dominate, but the colours you actually need are buried behind a single White block. There's a dense 3x5 grid up top, a front line jammed with Pink, Orange, and White, and a solid wall of Mystery Boxes waiting deeper. The match comes down to one question: how do you clear two Pink Boxes when the second Pink is hidden behind junk?

The front line is choked with Pink, Orange, and White. Behind it sit two Yellow blocks and a Pink. Behind that, a wall of Mystery Boxes. The lower columns spell it out: column one wants Black, column two Pink, column three Yellow, and column four Light Blue. There's no exposed Black and no exposed Light Blue, so you're locked into the middle of the board.

Column two is your only start. It wants Pink, then another Pink, then Orange. The front-left Pink clears the first one, but the second Pink sits in row two, trapped behind that useless White block. You can't reach it without moving the White, and moving the White means dumping nine white marbles onto the belt. That's the level's whole deal: make a calculated sacrifice to dig through column two.

How to Beat Marble Sort Level 23 — Step-by-Step

Force the Pink sequence

1. Tap the bottom-left Pink block. It fills the first Pink Box in column two.
2. Column two now needs another set of Pink. Look at the second Pink — it's behind the White.
3. Drop the bottom-right White block. There's no White Box, so all nine marbles pile onto the belt and stay there. Don't tap any other wrong colour after this.
4. Tap the newly exposed right-side Pink. It slides past the waiting White marbles and clears the second Pink Box.
5. Column two drops to reveal an Orange Box. Tap the bottom-middle Orange block to clear it and wipe the whole front row.

Crack the Mystery row

1. Row two now exposes two Yellow blocks. Tap the left Yellow to clear the Yellow Box waiting at the head of column three.
2. Clearing those Yellows exposes the Mystery Box row, which flips and reveals its true colours.
3. Match each revealed colour to column two or three instantly, never letting a matched colour sit.
4. Hunt for the White Box. Column three hides a Pink under its Yellow, and once a White Box surfaces, the white marbles on your belt finally clear out.

Unlock the Black Box

1. Dig to row four. Clearing the Mystery row exposes the fourth row, which holds a Black block on the far left.
2. Tap that Black block. It clears the Black Box that has been jamming column one all game.
3. Column one reveals a Brown Box next, and the right side of row four holds a Brown block to match it.
4. With columns one and two cleared, the Light Blue for column four surfaces in the back rows. Keep the belt clear for the final drops.

Tips & tricks

• The White block is a held cost, not a mistake — dumping it is the only path to the second Pink.
• Column two is the entire early game; clear its Pinks and Orange before touching anything else.
• Hold off on fishing for Light Blue early — none is visible in the front half of the board.

Common mistakes

• Panicking when the nine White marbles eat your belt. That's the plan; just don't add more dead colours.
• Tapping around for Light Blue at the start, which floods the belt with colours that have no home.
