Marble Sort Level 513 — Walkthrough and Solution

This stage presents a board that looks like a fortress of hidden colors, yet the solution calls for a patient, ordered approach. You must first expose the colors that match your starting columns, then break through the icy shell around the central green Lock and Key. The winning strategy is to clear the front row of your starting columns with Orange and White marbles before touching anything else.

The layout is a square with a ring of Mystery Boxes on the outside, a ring of Iced Boxes inside that, and the green Lock and Key in the middle. On the outer border, three single marbles sit alone: Purple at the upper left, Yellow at the upper right, and Pink at the lower left. A cluster of Red marbles occupies the lower right corner. The inner ring of ice holds Pink, Yellow, Green, Orange, Purple, and two empty frozen blocks. Your bottom area has four columns. From left to right, their top marbles are Orange, Orange, White, and White.

Look at your four starting columns. The first column has Orange on top, with White below, then Brown, and Purple at the bottom. The second column also starts with Orange, followed by Red, then White, and Cyan at the bottom. The third column starts with White, then Red, then Purple, and Cyan at the bottom. The fourth column starts with White, then Orange, then Pink, and White at the bottom. The key is to first clear all the Orange and White marbles from the top of these columns, because they are the only colors you can safely handle at the beginning.

The trap is that the Mystery Boxes hide many colors that you cannot use early on, like Cyan, Brown, or Purple, because those are buried deep in your columns. If you accidentally release those colors too soon, they will clog your Conveyor Belt and leave you stuck.

How to Beat Marble Sort Level 513 — Step-by-Step

Phase one: Clear the front row

1. Tap one Mystery Box at a time from the outer border. Do not tap quickly. Look at the color it reveals. If it is Orange or White, guide it down to fill the top slots of your columns.
2. Keep tapping Mystery Boxes one by one, searching for Orange and White. If you reveal a Red marble, leave it on the Conveyor Belt for later. Do not let it occupy space you need.
3. Ignore the isolated corner marbles (Purple, Yellow, Pink) for now, as you have no place to put them yet.
4. As you clear the Orange and White top marbles, the next layer of your columns will show Red marbles in the second and third columns. Now you can safely drop the Red cluster from the bottom right corner and any Red marbles you have collected.

Phase two: Break the ice

1. Now focus on the Mystery Boxes that are adjacent to the Iced Boxes you want to open. An Iced Box only activates when two nearby boxes are cleared, so you must clear specific Mystery Boxes to thaw the colors you need.
2. Check your bottom columns. You need to free a Purple Iced Box if you have a Purple column open, or a Pink Iced Box if you have a Pink slot. Clear the Mystery Boxes around the Iced Box that matches your needs.
3. Your main goal is the green Lock and Key in the center. Clear the Iced Boxes that surround it to make it accessible.
4. Once the green Lock and Key is free, drop it onto the Conveyor Belt and guide it into a matching green bottom Box as soon as one is available. That will break the lock on the lower board.

Phase three: Finish the clear

1. After the lock breaks, new bottom boxes become available. Do not dump the entire Top Tray at once.
2. Now you can use the isolated corner marbles: the Purple, Yellow, and Pink. Use them to finish filling the deep boxes in the first and fourth columns.
3. Clear any remaining frozen colors, like Orange or Green, by matching them with the final bottom boxes. Work on one color at a time to avoid jams.

Tips & tricks

• Always tap Mystery Boxes one at a time and check the color before deciding where to send it.
• Keep your Conveyor Belt as empty as possible. Do not let unwanted colors sit there.
• Prioritize clearing the ice around the green Lock and Key as soon as you have a green bottom box available.

Common mistakes

• Releasing Cyan, Brown, or Purple too early can fill your Conveyor Belt and block your progress.
• Ignoring the isolated corner marbles until the end can leave you with no way to finish the bottom boxes.
• Rushing to break the ice without having the matching bottom columns ready can waste moves and space.
