Marble Sort Level 202 Walkthrough & Solution
Board Overview

Level 202 opens on a 4x6 board where three gray stone locks, each stamped with a 3, immediately stand out: one seals the top-left corner, one the top-right corner, and a third sits halfway down the left column. The locks count down as you play and open on their own, so the corners are sealed until mid-solve — everything you need early is in the middle.
Columns 2 and 3 hold the open traffic: a Yellow, Orange, and Red stack in the second column, and an Orange, Light Blue, and Green stack in the third, with Blue and Light Blue parked lower. In total the visible board carries three Blues, three Reds, two each of Yellow, Orange, Green, Pink, and Light Blue, plus a single Purple at the base of the right column — and three more marbles hidden underneath the locks.
Four empty slots rattle around columns 2-3 and the right column, so the board never feels crowded. That is a gift: there is no early pressure to park anything anywhere, only the discipline to keep the middle columns flowing while the locks tick.
The Trap
- Three stone locks, all counting down from 3: the top-left, top-right, and left-mid slots are sealed, hiding marbles whose colors you cannot plan around. They unlock on their own as deliveries land — forcing them is impossible, so the trap is panicking about what sits underneath.
- The left column is a lock sandwich: Blue and Yellow sit above the mid-column lock, Green and Pink below it. Most of that column is unplayable until the countdown ends.
- The right column hides a mystery box: the slot at its mid-row is empty at the start, but a white mystery box appears there during the solve and is gone by the endgame. The Purple at the column’s base has no obvious early home, so it waits.
- The middle-column rush: Yellow, Orange, Red, Blue, and Light Blue are all unlocked on turn one. Dump them without watching the box row and you jam the funnel; feed them as the boxes cycle and the locks melt away on schedule.
Marble Sort Level 202 Step-by-Step Walkthrough
The opening is a middle-column drill, the midgame is a lock countdown, and the endgame is a cleanup. Follow the release order.
Opening: work the middle

- Start at the top of the second column: tap the Yellow, then the Orange beneath it, then the Red at the base of that stack, delivering each into its box as it cycles to the front.
- Switch to the third column and clear its Orange and Light Blue from the top.
- Feed the Blues next — there are three visible on the board (one in each of the second, third, and left columns). Clear the two in the middle columns first.
- Keep the middle moving with the Green in the third column’s third row and the Light Blue at the bottom of the second column.
- Leave the corners alone. The locks all read 3 and will not budge until deliveries start landing, so do not waste taps on them.
Midgame: the locks tick down
- As the early boxes fill, the stone locks start ticking: by the midpoint of the solve they show 3, 2, and 1. The left-mid lock opens first, freeing the Green and Pink stacked below it.
- When the top-left lock pops, grab the Blue and Yellow that were sealed behind the top corner.
- When the top-right lock opens, the right column unseals: the two Reds near its top and the Pink at its base become playable.
- The mystery box appears in the right column’s mid-row around this time. Play around it — its contents join the board as the solve continues.
- Leave the Purple at the base of the right column alone until its box slides to the front; it has no home in the early box rows.
Cleanup: finish the stragglers
- With the corners open, the board thins out fast — by the final stretch, the third and fourth columns are nearly empty.
- The closing frames show only a handful of marbles left: Reds, Greens, Yellows, and Oranges, plus the last locks still ticking down.
- Ride the front box row from here: deliver each remaining color the moment its box appears, and the final locks finish their countdown on their own.

Level 202 Tips Recap
- All three stone locks start at 3 and tick down by themselves — keep deliveries flowing and the corners open without any forcing.
- The middle columns are the level: Yellow, Orange, Red, Blue, and Light Blue are all unlocked there on turn one.
- The mystery box in the right column appears mid-solve and is gone by the end — never wait on it, just keep clearing around it.
- The endgame is thin (Reds, Greens, Yellows, Oranges), so play only the front box row and let the last locks finish themselves.
