Marble Sort Level 697 — Walkthrough and Solution

Marble Sort Level 697 is a puzzle that denies you access to most of the board until you carefully clear the front row. The upper area is sealed by three yellow lock bars: one vertical in the center, and two horizontal barriers protecting the upper left and upper right grids. Two blue gift boxes, each needing four adjacent clears, sit in the middle layer, blocking what lies behind. The primary colors are Pink, Dark Red, and Light Blue, with Purple and Brown appearing only in the front row.

Your initial view shows a Top Tray with a front row of marbles, left to right: Light Blue, Pink, Dark Red, Pink, Purple, Dark Red, and Brown. Below, the active bottom Boxes demand: Light Blue on the far left, two Dark Reds in the center, and a Pink on the right. Deeper queues hold more Dark Red, Pink, and Light Blue. The danger: if you tap Purple or Brown before their matching bottom Boxes appear, you will fill the Conveyor Belt with unusable colors.

Marble Sort Level 697 Walkthrough

Your first job is to clear the four visible bottom Boxes by tapping only the corresponding front row marbles. The Light Blue, two Dark Reds, and Pink are safe to drop immediately. The Purple and Brown are traps—leave them untouched.

The imbalance: the front row seems to have extra colors, but those are meant for later after the gift boxes reveal new bottom Boxes. If you tap them early, you'll have nowhere to put them.

How to Beat Marble Sort Level 697 — Step-by-Step

Phase one: Clear the front line

1. Tap the Light Blue marble on the far left of the Top Tray; this empties the first bottom Box.
2. Tap the Dark Red marble in the middle-left position; this clears the second bottom Box.
3. Tap the Dark Red marble in the middle-right position; this empties the third bottom Box.
4. Tap the Pink marble adjacent to the left Gift Box; this clears the fourth bottom Box.
5. Stop tapping. Do not touch the Purple or Brown marbles; they are decoys.

Phase two: Release the gift boxes

1. As new bottom Boxes slide up, match the remaining front row colors: you will need to drop the Purple and Brown marbles now to clear the new demands.
2. Drop the Purple and Brown marbles near the Gift Boxes to reduce their counters to zero; they will open, revealing hidden stacks.
3. This opening also unlocks the yellow lock bars, making the top-left and top-right areas accessible.
4. In the top-right, you'll find Connected Boxes: a Light Blue box linked to a Pink box, and a Brown box linked to a Light Pink box. Tapping one will drag its partner down. Ensure you have belt space for both or that bottom Boxes are ready to accept them.
5. In the top-left, there are mixed multi-colored boxes that release several colors at once. Only tap them when you have at least three empty belt spaces.

Phase three: Final cleanup

1. Prioritize clearing the Connected Boxes in the top-right to avoid a jam later.
2. Keep an eye on the lower queues; you still have Dark Red and Pink stacks to work through.
3. If a top-left multi-colored box releases an odd color, you can park it on the Conveyor Belt, but never fill the belt more than halfway.
4. Methodically clear all remaining mixed boxes from the top-left to empty the board.

Tips & tricks

• Always clear the four starting bottom Boxes in the order: Light Blue, Dark Red, Dark Red, Pink—do not skip ahead.
• Leave Purple and Brown untouched until the Gift Boxes open, as they are needed to clear the new bottom Boxes.
• When dealing with Connected Boxes, check the bottom Boxes first to see if they can accept both colors simultaneously.

Common mistakes

• Tapping Purple or Brown early is the biggest error; it fills your belt with colors that have no matching bottom Boxes.
• Ignoring the Gift Boxes' countdowns; you must clear adjacent marbles to open them.
• Clearing top-left mixed boxes without enough belt space causes immediate overflow.
