Marble Sort Level 487 presents a deceptive board where the top tray shows five colors, but only two are safe to drop initially. The key is to ignore the tempting White, Orange, and Purple marbles and focus on the Red and Blue ones that have matching bottom slots.
The layout has a top tray with a massive wall of Light Blue question-mark boxes hiding the mid-game colors. In the center, a Panel with a yellow "4" blocks progress, flanked by two blue Tunnels on the left and right, each holding three hidden drops. The bottom has four columns of Boxes, each with four slots.

Starting from the left, the bottom Boxes demand: Blue, Blue, Light Green, Purple. The second column starts with Red, then Purple, Light Green, and Blue. The third column holds Yellow, Yellow, Light Green, Purple. The fourth column begins with Red, followed by Light Green, Light Green, and Red.
The trap is that the top tray's frontline features Red, White, Light Green, Orange, and Purple. Underneath those, there are Blue, Light Green, and Yellow blocks. The White, Orange, and Purple marbles have no matching bottom slots initially, so dropping them fills the Conveyor Belt and causes a jam.
How to Beat Marble Sort Level 487 — Step-by-Step
Phase one: Open the Center
- Tap the Red block at the far left of the top tray to send it into the Red bottom slot in column two.
- Locate the Blue blocks just below the top row and guide them into the Blue bottom slot in column one.
- Find the Yellow blocks and route them to the Yellow bottom slot in column three.
- Clear the remaining Red marbles into the Red bottom slot in column four.
- Leave the White, Orange, and Purple marbles untouched.
- After clearing those four bottom slots, the central Panel disappears.
Phase two: Handle Connected Boxes
- Examine the newly exposed bottom Boxes; they are connected by black lines.
- Spot the Orange and White connected Boxes.
- Release the White and Orange marbles from the top row one at a time, ensuring the Conveyor Belt has space.
- Clear the Mystery Boxes above, revealing Light Green, Red, Pink, and Light Blue blocks.
- Watch the Tunnels: left Tunnel counts down to "1", right Tunnel empties out. Only pull from them when a match is ready.
- Match the Light Blue and Red connected Boxes using the newly revealed blocks from the center.
Phase three: Final Cleanup
- Once the connected Boxes are cleared, the bottom receptors revert to single clears.
- Focus on the remaining Mystery Boxes at top left and right.
- Uncover a concentration of Light Green and Purple blocks.
- Columns one, two, and three still have deep layers of Light Green and Purple.
- Feed Light Green marbles into columns three and four first.
- Then drop the remaining Purple blocks into columns one and two to finish.
Tips & tricks
- Always clear Red and Blue first to unlock the center without filling the belt.
- Keep the Conveyor Belt as empty as possible until the connected boxes appear.
- Use the Tunnels only when you have a guaranteed match waiting below.
Common mistakes
- Dropping White, Orange, or Purple too early leads to a jammed belt.
- Ignoring the connected boxes and clearing random colors disrupts the sequence.
