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

This board is a puzzle about patience and sequence. The top tray presents an array of colors, but the bottom Boxes dictate a strict order. The key is to clear the front row to unlock Yellow, then break the crates to access the Gift Boxes, all while managing your limited Conveyor Belt.

At the start, the top tray has Purple on the far left, two Blue clusters next to it, a Black cluster in the center, and two Light Green clusters on the right. Behind the Blue and Black are solid Yellow, Light Blue, and Red blocks. Two wooden Crates sit in the middle, and two Gift Boxes marked '5' guard the top corners. The bottom Boxes initially ask for Purple on the far left and middle-left, Light Green on the middle-right, and Yellow on the far right. No Blue or Black is requested yet.

Marble Sort Level 696 Walkthrough

The bottom Boxes start with Purple, Purple, Light Green, and Yellow from left to right. The top tray shows Purple on the far left, then Blue, then Black, then Blue, then Light Green on the far right. Behind the front row, you'll find Yellow, Red, and Light Blue clusters.

The main trap is the Black cluster in the center. It is visible but not needed until late in the level. Dropping it early will clog your belt. Similarly, Blue is needed only after you've cleared the left side, so avoid tapping it prematurely.

How to Beat Marble Sort Level 696 — Step-by-Step

Phase one: Clear the front row

  1. Tap the far-left Purple cluster to fill the two Purple Boxes and start your belt.
  2. Drop the far-right Light Green cluster to satisfy the middle-right and newly revealed Light Green Box.
  3. Release the left-side Blue cluster to uncover the Yellow marbles behind it. The Blue will fill the hidden Blue Box.
  4. Tap the exposed Yellow cluster to complete the far-right Yellow Box.

Phase two: Shatter the crates

  1. Drop the Red cluster that is now accessible, filling the Red Boxes that have surfaced.
  2. Send the remaining Light Green cluster on the right to keep the belt moving.
  3. Tap the Light Blue cluster next to the crates. This will trigger the crates to break, revealing the back half of the board.

Phase three: Manage the Gift Boxes

  1. Clear the clusters touching the left Gift Box to activate it, which adds five new Boxes to your queue.
  2. Match the new Orange and dark Green marbles that appear in the upper tray.
  3. Trigger the right Gift Box by clearing its adjacent marbles, adding five more Boxes.
  4. Finally, clear the central Black cluster now that Black Boxes are available, and continue sorting the remaining Orange, Yellow, and Green marbles to finish.

Tips & tricks

  • Always check the bottom Boxes before making a move to avoid filling your belt with unneeded colors.
  • Use the Conveyor Belt as a temporary storage, but keep it as empty as possible to handle unexpected drops.
  • When a Gift Box activates, be ready for a sudden increase in Boxes—plan your next moves around the new color demands.

Common mistakes

  • Tapping the Black cluster early is the most frequent error, as it clogs the belt.
  • Clearing Blue before Yellow can leave you with no space for the required Yellow.
  • Ignoring the Gift Box activation order can lead to a pileup of unsorted marbles.
