Marble Sort Level 587 is a puzzle that punishes impulsive taps. The key is to clear Orange first, then Red, and only touch the big blocks when you have enough open slots.

The board has a top tray with four large blocks along its bottom edge: Red on the far left, then White, Green, and Red on the far right. Above them, the center holds columns of single marbles: Red, Pink, Blue, Green, Light Pink, and Yellow. The outer wings contain Light Blue and Pink on the left, and Orange and Light Blue on the right, all under grey Mystery Boxes. Two 5-count Blue Tunnels sit at the top, flanked by red-and-white rockets. Below, the bottom Boxes are arranged in four columns: Column 1 wants Orange, Column 2 wants Orange, Column 3 wants Dark Red, and Column 4 wants Bright Red.

Marble Sort Level 587 Walkthrough

Your first move should be to ignore the four large blocks at the bottom of the top tray. Instead, focus on the far right wing: tap the single Orange marble there to put it on the belt. Then, open the Mystery Boxes above the left and right wings to reveal more Orange marbles. Feed those Orange marbles into the bottom Boxes of Column 1 and Column 2, clearing them. When Column 1's Orange Box is empty, a Bright Red Box appears underneath it. Now you have a Red Box on the far left and another on the far right, giving you two Red destinations.

The trap is that the bottom-left Red block looks like an easy drop, but with only one Red Box open, you'd have six Red marbles left on the belt, choking it and preventing you from sorting Orange later. You need two Red Boxes to safely handle the nine marbles.

How to Beat Marble Sort Level 587 — Step-by-Step

Phase one: Expose the second Red Box

  1. Tap the single Orange marble on the far right wing to send it to the belt.
  2. Tap the Mystery Boxes above the left and right wings to reveal Orange marbles, and route them to Column 1 and Column 2 bottom Boxes.
  3. Keep feeding Orange until both bottom Boxes in Columns 1 and 2 are full and clear.
  4. After Column 1's Orange Box clears, a Bright Red Box appears underneath it. Now you have two Red Boxes available.

Phase two: Drop the Red and White blocks

  1. With two Red Boxes open, tap the Red 9-marble block on the bottom-left of the top tray. Six Red marbles will fill the two Red Boxes, leaving three on the belt, which you can manage.
  2. Next, clear the White Box that was revealed under Column 2's Orange Box. Before tapping the White 9-marble block, ensure your belt is mostly empty so the six White marbles that don't fit into the single White Box don't jam you.
  3. After dropping White, work on the center columns: tap single Pink, Blue, Green marbles to clear the area around the rockets.
  4. As you clear the center, the rockets will activate and shoot upward, destroying the Blue Tunnels and revealing hidden marbles.

Phase three: Handle the surprise and finish

  1. Once the top is cleared, a grey Surprise Bag with a yellow tie appears in the top-left. Wait until you have at least four empty belt slots before tapping it, because it dumps random colors.
  2. The destruction of the Tunnels reveals a Purple 9-marble block and another Red 9-marble block. Wait until you have Purple and Red bottom Boxes exposed (clear the appropriate columns) before dropping them.
  3. Watch the bottom-right Column 4: as you clear its boxes, Mystery Boxes appear. Keep your belt clean and hold a few spare marbles of different colors so you can instantly fill these requests.
  4. Continue sorting all marbles into their matching bottom Boxes to finish the level.

Tips & tricks

  • Always keep at least two empty slots on the belt before dropping any large block.
  • Use the Conveyor Belt as a temporary buffer, but don't let it fill up—clear it often.
  • Watch the bottom Box demands: Column 1 and 2 both want Orange, so prioritize gathering Orange early.

Common mistakes

  • Tapping the Red 9-marble block before you have two Red Boxes will flood the belt.
  • Ignoring the Mystery Boxes on the wings means you miss out on key Orange marbles.
  • Dropping the White block when your belt is full will leave you stuck with no moves.
