Marble Sort Level 46 — Walkthrough and Solution

Marble Sort Level 46 is a six-column squeeze where the first bad drop ends the run. Orange, Pink, Purple, Green, and Black crowd the tray, and two Tunnels sit over columns three and four, holding marbles back until you clear beneath them. The Boxes run four deep with Pink, Purple, Orange, and Green ready, but a row of Mystery Boxes waits at the back where you cannot see what they want.

The trouble starts at the edges. Column one and column six are both capped by a Black marble, and with no Black Box live, those two are just weight trapping the Pink and Purple underneath. Columns three and four carry Orange at the base with Tunnels stamped 3 above, so you must pull three marbles from under each before either lets go.

Marble Sort Level 46 Walkthrough

The leftmost Pink Box is a decoy. Every Pink on the board is buried — under Black in column one, under Red and Green in column two, and under Purple in column five — so digging for Pink with random colours floods the belt instantly. Skip Pink at the start and play the centre instead.

Your opening is about feeding the available Boxes while parking the dead-weight Blacks. That one act of parking both Blacks is what finally frees the Pink and Purple the front row actually wants.

How to Beat Marble Sort Level 46 — Step-by-Step

Break the opening lockout

1. Tap the Orange at the base of column three, then the Orange at the base of column four, into the bottom Orange Box.
2. Send the Green in column two into the live Green Box on the far right.
3. Send the Purple in column five into the Purple Box occupying the second slot.
4. Park the Black from column one onto the belt, then park the Black from column six beside it.
5. With the Blacks moved, expose the Pink in column one and send it to the bottom Pink Box.
6. Expose the Purple in column six and land it in the bottom Purple Box to wrap that one up.

Crack the Tunnels and Mystery Boxes

Clearing that first wave shifts the board, and from here the danger climbs.

1. Each time columns three and four match a live Box, clear them out — every clear ticks the Tunnel numbers down.
2. When a Tunnel reaches zero it releases three new marbles, so brace for a sudden rush of White and Light Blue from above.
3. When the lower Boxes empty, the back rows advance and set off the Mystery Box trap.
4. When a grey question-mark block shows up, hold your taps and wait for the game to reveal its colour.
5. If the revealed Mystery Box wants White or Brown, look to the top layers of the centre columns and pull exactly what is needed.

Survive the late-game jam

1. The tray is now lopsided, with tall stacks of Yellow, Red, and Light Blue piling near the top.
2. Hold off on Yellow and Light Blue until their Box is fully in view — the last Mystery Boxes have a habit of asking for colours that sit behind one another.
3. As soon as a Black Box reaches the front row, clear the parked Blacks to claw back two belt slots.
4. Finish one Box at a time, dig for its colour only with room to spare, and take out the last Mystery Box to finish.

Tips & tricks

• Leave the leftmost Pink slot alone until both Blacks are parked — the Pink is buried three ways and is not worth the early dig.
• The two Black marbles are a two-slot debt. Pay it early so the Pink and Purple behind them finally surface.
• Clearing columns three and four whenever they match is what drags the Tunnel counters down — every matched pull advances the whole board.

Common mistakes

• Digging for Pink in the opening. It sits under Black, Red and Green, and Purple, so the random colours you pull fill the belt and stall the run.
• Dropping Yellow or Light Blue before their Boxes appear. The last Mystery Boxes want colours that hide behind each other, so an early drop just clogs you.
