Green → Light Blue. The top layer hides what's underneath.

Marble Sort Level 176 is a cunning maze of Arrow Boxes and three Tunnels that can flood your belt if touched too soon. The winning move is to clear the top-row Bright Green and Light Blue blocks first, then methodically unlock the arrow chain, ignoring tunnels until the board opens up.

The top tray is an irregular pyramid, with a Tunnel marked '4' above a Dark Blue tile on the left, another Tunnel in the center, and a third on the right. Arrow Boxes point in various directions, creating dependencies: an Orange block near the bottom left points UP, but the Purple above it points LEFT, and that Purple can't move until a Dark Blue to its left is cleared. The bottom boxes demand Bright Green, Light Blue, and two Purples.

Marble Sort Level 176 Walkthrough

At the start, your active bottom Boxes are, from left to right: Bright Green, Light Blue, Purple, Purple. The lower stacks hide Light Green, Orange, Yellow under the first, and Dark Blue, Purple under the second.

The trap: the three Tunnels are fully loaded, ready to dump four random blocks each onto your Conveyor Belt. If you tap one early, you'll choke your belt with colors you can't place, stalling the whole level.

How to Beat Marble Sort Level 176 — Step-by-Step

Phase one: Break the Arrow Shackles

  1. Locate the textured Bright Green and Light Blue blocks at the bottom of the Top Tray; send them down to feed the left and center-left Boxes.
  2. Clear the textured Pink block on the bottom right to open space.
  3. Trace the arrows: find a Purple with an arrow LEFT; clear the Dark Blue beside it, then drop the Purple to a Box.
  4. Ignore all Tunnels completely—tap now and you'll flood your belt.

Phase two: Handle the Connected Boxes

  1. After the initial clears, connected Boxes (linked by black lines) slide up: Pink, Bright Green, Yellow.
  2. Scan for those colors; find a Bright Green with an arrow UP, clear the block above it, and bank the Bright Green.
  3. Keep at least three Conveyor slots empty.
  4. Unlock right-pointing arrows by clearing the blocks they point to, working right-to-left.
  5. Deliver Pink, Bright Green, and Yellow to the connected Boxes as soon as possible.

Phase three: Crack the Tunnels

  1. Now your active Boxes are ready; tap the far-right Tunnel first—it sits lowest and likely drops usable colors.
  2. Sort the four released blocks into matching Boxes.
  3. Open the middle Tunnel; let any unneeded colors rest on the belt temporarily.
  4. Finally, break the left Tunnel and route the last blocks home, finishing the sort.

Tips & tricks

  • Always check arrow directions before tapping a block; a wrong tap can lock the board.
  • Keep your Conveyor Belt half empty during the Connected Box phase to avoid jams.
  • Use the Tunnels as a last resort—they're a gamble until the board is slimmed down.

Common mistakes

  • Tapping a Tunnel early, which dumps four random blocks and chokes your belt.
  • Clearing blocks without tracing arrows, causing a dependency deadlock.
  • Overfilling the Conveyor Belt before connected Boxes arrive, stalling progress.
