Level 206 Board Overview: The Crate-Walled Grid

Level 206 plays on a block-style board rather than plain tubes: a grid of five or six columns whose center is sealed behind a cluster of wooden crates. Some crates carry numbered markers — 1, 2, and 3 — and a few grey ’?’ mystery blocks sit among them, so you cannot see everything you are working with until the walls start coming down. A locked cell holds a Black tile that can never be freed, making it pure decoration.
The colors on show are Yellow, Blue, Orange, Green, White, Pink, Brown, and Purple. The front row of receiver Boxes asks for Light Pink, Purple, Yellow, and Green at the start, and those four are the colors that open the level. Yellow appears in several columns, Blue and Orange sit in the outer stacks, and a White tile is wedged behind the center crates where it is effectively out of play until the walls move.
Everything mid-board is layered: Pink and Brown ride on top of the Greens and Purples the Boxes actually want. The opening is a reveal-then-feed puzzle — clear a path, expose a color with an open Box, and drop it before the conveyor jams.
The Trap in Marble Sort Level 206
The board is built to make you overcommit to whatever is nearest. Here is the layout:
- The center is walled off: numbered crates and ’?’ mystery blocks seal the middle columns, hiding the tiles behind them and blocking any direct feed through the middle of the grid.
- Numbered crates pay big: a crate marked 1, 2, or 3 counts as several tiles in one release, so it is valuable — but only when a matching Box sits in the front row.
- Mystery ’?’ blocks hide their reveals: every ’?’ tile is a gamble until you tap it, and a reveal that has no open Box is instant belt clutter.
- The locked Black tile is dead weight: a sealed cell pins a Black tile in the corner of the board. It cannot be moved, so never plan around it.
- Blue, Orange, and White start boxless: none of them has a receiver in the opening rows, so chasing them early jams the conveyor before the real colors clear.
Marble Sort Level 206 Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Clear walls before you chase colors. Follow the release order.
Opening: feed the four open colors

- Tap the visible Light Pink tiles into the Light Pink Box — they sit low on the board and are completely safe drops.
- Feed the Purple tiles that cluster in the transition funnel into the Purple Box. Purples arrive in runs, so clear them as they queue up.
- Drop the Yellows from the outer columns into the Yellow Box. Yellow is scattered, so take it from whichever column exposes it first.
- Feed Green whenever its Box sits in the front row — the Greens are stacked near the bottom of the columns and come out in batches.
- Do not touch Blue, Orange, Brown, or White yet. None of them has an open Box, and parking them on the belt stalls the opening.
- Start peeling the ’?’ mystery blocks off the column tops. If the reveal matches an open Box, drop it; if not, leave that column and move on.
Midgame: the walls come down
Once the first Boxes clear, the crate cluster loses its grip. The numbered crates release their multi-tile payloads, the center columns open up, and the front row cycles toward the colors that were trapped early.
- Bank the numbered crates as soon as a matching Box cycles to the front — each one clears several tiles in a single drop and empties a column fast.
- Feed the Blues as their Box opens. Blue tiles sit high in the outer stacks, so the midgame is the first time they are reachable in numbers.
- Work each tall column down one tile at a time; the Greens, Purples, and Yellows buried underneath are your real targets.
- Let the White tile wait — it stays wedged behind the center crates until the surrounding columns thin out.
- Prioritize any column that exposes two matching tiles in a row; clearing it empties a column and opens the grid.
Cleanup: feed the stragglers
With the center open and the walls gone, the level becomes a straight finishing line. The remaining tiles are singles scattered across the columns, and the belt is running the last of each color.
- Play only to the active front row from here — every remaining tile is a single waiting for its Box to slide forward.
- Let the queue cycle: the last Yellows, Greens, and Purples feed as their Boxes open. Do not chase colors whose receivers have already closed.
- If a stray Blue or Orange still needs a home, wait for its Box to rotate in rather than dumping it on the belt.
- Finish the final Boxes as the stragglers drop and let the grid empty. The level completes the moment the last tile lands.

Level 206 Tips Recap
- The center crates are the board: clear walls before you chase colors, and never plan around tiles you cannot see under a ’?’ block.
- Only feed colors with an open Box — Light Pink, Purple, Yellow, and Green open the level; Blue, Orange, Brown, and White are bait until the midgame.
- Bank the numbered crates early — each one pays several tiles into whichever Box is front and center.
- Ignore the locked Black tile entirely. It never moves, so counting on it is how you stall the conveyor.
