Marble Sort Level 158 — Walkthrough and Solution

Marble Sort Level 158 is a compact puzzle where a central 3x4 block in the top tray holds most of the marbles, and four isolated corner boxes each display the digit 3. That digit acts as a timer: you must empty three of the lower containers before those corners swing open to reveal new colors. The bottom row currently shows Cyan on the far left, a Pink-Red beside it, and two Dark Blue containers on the right. The Conveyor Belt has limited slots, and pulling any color that has no active matching container will instantly block progress.

The center block's lowest layer contains three exposed sections: Dark Green on the left, Red in the middle, and Cyan on the right. The Dark Green looks like an easy tap, but no bottom container is waiting for it yet, so sending it to the belt just wastes space. Instead, focus on the Red and Cyan, which have containers ready. Above that bottom layer, the second row hides smooth Cyan and Dark Blue marbles, and further up are Pinks and other colors that will become useful later. The arrangement forces a strict front-to-back clearing order, and any careless pull can jam the belt for good.

Marble Sort Level 158 Walkthrough

Examine the bottom containers from left to right: first Cyan, then Pink-Red, then two Dark Blues. These four are your initial targets. The center grid's bottom row has Red in the middle and Cyan on the right, both of which match the left containers. The Dark Green on the left is a decoy because no container for it exists yet.

The main challenge is that the belt only holds a few marbles. If you pull Dark Green too early, it sits there, blocking you from moving other colors. Also, the three front containers must be cleared quickly to unlock the numbered corner boxes, which then reveal hidden colors like Dark Gray and Orange. The middle phase introduces a padlocked Dark Blue container that requires a key from the opened corners, and you must avoid filling the belt with Purple or Dark Green until that lock is broken.

How to Beat Marble Sort Level 158 — Step-by-Step

Phase one: Clear the first three containers

1. Tap the dimpled Cyan block on the bottom right of the center grid and guide it into the leftmost Cyan container.
2. Next, tap the dimpled Red block in the bottom middle and deliver it to the Pink-Red container.
3. Leave the Dark Green on the bottom left untouched for now.
4. Now that the bottom layer is partially gone, access the second row of the center grid, which holds smooth Cyan and Dark Blue marbles.
5. Send the smooth Cyan to the left Cyan container to finish it, and route the Dark Blues to the two Dark Blue containers on the right.
6. Clear those first three containers completely, which triggers the numbered corner boxes to open.

Phase two: Unlock the padlocked container

1. Watch the top-left corner open and reveal new colors, including Dark Gray and Orange, along with a key marble.
2. As the front row empties, the next wave slides forward, showing a Dark Green container, a Purple container, and another Dark Blue container in the third column.
3. Stop pulling marbles randomly. Notice that the Dark Blue container has a padlock icon.
4. Prioritize finding the key marble in the opened corners and route it down to the padlock to break it.
5. While the lock is active, avoid sending Purple or Dark Green to the belt, as they have no containers yet and will jam the line.
6. Once the key unlocks the Dark Blue container, feed it any saved Dark Blue marbles from the center grid to clear it.

Phase three: Clean up the remaining colors

1. With the padlocked container gone, the belt has room, so now you can safely pull the Dark Green block from the bottom left of the center grid.
2. Route that Dark Green to its container in the second row.
3. Next, pull the Purple marbles from the center and send them to the Purple container.
4. Finally, clear the top-right corner, which holds Light Pink and Purple marbles, to finish the last two containers and complete the level.

Tips & tricks

• Always check the bottom row before pulling any marble; only move colors that have an active container.
• Keep the Conveyor Belt as empty as possible, especially during the middle phase when the padlock is active.
• When the numbered corners open, scan for the key marble immediately and make it your top priority.

Common mistakes

• Pulling the Dark Green at the start because it looks easy, which clogs the belt and prevents progress.
• Filling the belt with Purple or Dark Green while the Dark Blue container is still locked, causing a jam.
• Ignoring the numbered corner boxes and not clearing the first three containers quickly, which delays access to the key.
