Marble Sort Level 212 Walkthrough & Solution

Level 212 Board Overview: The Hand-Shaped Grid

The video for Level 212 opens on the level-select menu rather than the puzzle: the game title sits over a Play button, with the next levels (213, and 214 marked Hard) in bubbles ahead and timer-based reward icons along the edges. The actual gameplay frames show that the level plays on a hand-shaped variant board — not the classic tube tray, and no crates, locks, tunnels, or mystery tiles anywhere on the board.

The board splits into two halves joined by a conveyor belt. Up top sits a large hand-shaped grid — the silhouette of a hand with its palm and fingers divided into colored slots. The mid-solve frame shows it partially filled, with Pink, Orange, Yellow, Red, Green, Purple, Blue, and Cyan marbles already settled into slots across the hand and the rest still empty. Below the belt sit four marble tubes, each holding a mixed stack: Purple, Orange, and Yellow in the left tube; Green and Cyan in the second; Red, Purple, Cyan, and Green in the third; White, Cyan, Purple, and Yellow in the right. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Purple, Pink, White, and Blue all appear somewhere on the board.

Three power-up buttons line the top of the screen — a magnet, a filter, and a gumball machine — and each carries a count of one. The end frame shows the solve down to its last exchanges: the hand grid nearly out of waiting stock, every tube reduced to two marbles, and a final queue of Cyan, Orange, Red, Pink, Yellow, and Purple riding the belt while fresh Purples drop in from above.

The Trap in Marble Sort Level 212

• The hand shape decides what fits. Marbles only settle into the slots inside the hand silhouette, so a color dropped into the wrong area can block a whole finger of the grid.
• The tubes start mixed. Every tube opens with two or three colors stacked together — Purple over Orange, Red over Pink, Yellow over Orange — so the color on top is the only one you can release first.
• The belt delivers in runs. The late queue runs Cyan, Orange, Cyan, Cyan, Orange, Cyan, Red, Pink, Pink, Pink, Yellow, Purple — commit a run to the wrong spot and every copy behind it jams the line.
• White is bait early. The right tube stacks White over Cyan, Purple, and Yellow, but no White slot shows in the early hand — release it too soon and it has nowhere to land.
• Power-ups are one-and-done. Magnet, filter, and gumball machine each fire exactly once, so spending one mid-board leaves nothing for the Purple finish.

Marble Sort Level 212 Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Work with the belt, not against it. Follow the release order.

Opening: read the board before the first release

1. Start from the level-select menu — the video opens there, with 213 and 214 (Hard) waiting ahead — and launch the level.
2. Scan the hand grid before touching anything: the slots already showing Pink, Orange, Yellow, Red, Green, Purple, Blue, and Cyan set the color set for the whole solve.
3. Check the top marble of each tube. Purple, Green, Red, and White lead the four stacks, so those four colors are your first options.
4. Let one full conveyor pass before your first drop so you can see the order the runs arrive in.

Midgame: feed the runs to the open slots

5. Release only colors with an open matching slot in the hand. If a color has no slot in reach, leave the tube alone and let the belt cycle.
6. Keep the belt’s color runs together — when Cyan arrives in a run of three, commit the whole run to the same part of the hand instead of scattering it.
7. Work the Green and Cyan stack in the second tube together: the two colors share a stack, so their slots tend to clear in the same sweep.
8. Push the right tube’s White only once a White slot opens late in the solve — before that it is dead weight on the belt.
9. Leave the magnet, filter, and gumball machine untouched through the midgame; each is a single-use tool and the final exchanges are where they pay.

Cleanup: drop the last Purples

The end frame shows the board nearly complete: the hand grid empty of waiting stock, every tube down to two marbles, and the belt running its last queue — Cyan, Orange, Cyan, Cyan, Orange, Cyan, Red, Pink, Pink, Pink, Yellow, Purple — with four fresh Purples dropping in from the grid above.

10. Close out the Cyan placements first: Cyan rides the belt in the longest runs of the final queue, so its slots finish fastest.
11. Use the Pink run of three to settle the Pink slots in a single pass.
12. Feed the single Red and Yellow as their slots cycle to the front, then drop the four fresh Purples one at a time into the last Purple slots.
13. Finish the final tube as the belt empties — the level completes when the last marble settles into the hand.

Level 212 Tips Recap

• Read the hand grid before releasing anything — the visible Pink, Orange, Yellow, Red, Green, Purple, Blue, and Cyan slots define the whole solve.
• Release only colors with an open matching slot; White has none early and is bait until the endgame.
• Keep the conveyor’s color runs together — a run of three Cyan or Pink clears a whole area in one pass.
• Save the magnet, filter, and gumball machine (one use each) for the final Purple drops.
