Marble Sort Level 231 is a Surprise Bag minefield where five grey bags hide key Colors and random drops. The winning order is Purple, Red, then Green/Orange, but you must open bags only when the belt has room.

The Top Tray is a jagged cross. Front row holds big Purple, Red, Light Pink, and Purple clusters. Behind them, single Yellow, Green, Light Blue, Dark Blue, Brown, and Orange marbles sit scattered, with five Surprise Bags blocking access to two trapped solids: a Red on the left wing and a Light Pink on the right. Bottom Boxes start with Purple, Red, Purple, Red. After clearing those, Green and Orange Boxes appear, but Mystery Boxes hide deeper demands until midgame.

Marble Sort Level 231 Walkthrough

Left-to-right bottom Boxes demand: Purple, Red, Purple, Red. The front row of the Top Tray mirrors that with clusters in the same order.

The trap: dropping the front Light Pink cluster early sends it to the right side of the belt, jamming safety space. Also, opening bags too soon floods the board before bottom Boxes are ready.

How to Beat Marble Sort Level 231 — Step-by-Step

Phase one: Front row only

  1. Tap the leftmost Purple cluster and send it to the first Purple Box.
  2. Route the rightmost Purple cluster into the third Purple Box.
  3. Feed the left Red cluster into the Red Box.
  4. Stop. Do not touch the Light Pink cluster or any Surprise Bag.

Phase two: Midgame reveal

  1. After clearing, new Red, Green, Green, Orange Boxes activate (left to right).
  2. Slide visible Green and Orange marbles from the center grid into those Boxes.
  3. Release the far-left Surprise Bag to free the trapped Red marble and get manageable random drops.
  4. Match any new Colors from that bag to their Boxes; if a Color has no Box, park it on the belt and keep clearing Green/Orange.
  5. When Mystery Boxes reveal, prioritize those new Colors.
  6. Open the far-right Surprise Bag to free the Light Pink marble, but only after a Light Pink Box is active.

Phase three: Back row cleanup

  1. Open the three remaining bags in the upper-middle now that the belt has space.
  2. Clear all exposed Dark Blue, Light Blue, and Yellow marbles into the final Boxes.

Tips & tricks

Common mistakes
