Green → Yellow. Only drop a colour when its box is ready.

Marble Sort Level 485 puts a large Green panel in the middle of the top tray, held by two Yellow struts. The board's edges are lined with Arrow Boxes, making it look like you should break the center open quickly. However, that is a decoy. The real challenge is managing the hidden colors in the outer columns before you unlock the middle.

The bottom has four active Boxes: Green on the far left, Cyan next, then Red, and Orange on the far right. Under the Green and Orange Boxes, there are three Mystery Boxes each, hiding unknown colors. The inner columns under Cyan and Red have a mix of Cyan, Dark Blue, and Green. The top left has White and Pink Arrow Boxes pointing down, and the top right has Dark Blue and Purple Arrow Boxes pointing up.

Marble Sort Level 485 Walkthrough

The front row requires Green, Cyan, Red, and Orange from left to right. You must feed these four colors first. The danger is that the outer Mystery Boxes hide colors that you cannot plan for. If you open the center too soon, you will release White and Yellow marbles without a place to put them, jamming the belt.

The main trap is the center panel. It looks like an easy win, but it is a trap. You must wait until the outer columns reveal their hidden colors and you have Boxes ready for them.
