Marble Sort Level 26 Walkthrough & Solution
Level 26 Board Overview: The Red Box With No Red in Sight

Level 26 greets you with a wide, stepped pyramid of a Top Tray and two Tunnels parked dead center, each holding three hidden boxes. The visible colors are Pink, Light Blue, Yellow, and a lone Orange, with Dark Blue waiting deeper in.
Your accessible front line, sitting just under the Tunnels, runs: Orange, Pink, Light Blue, Pink, Yellow. The four receiver columns below open with a demand for Yellow, Red, Pink, and Light Blue.
Here’s the nasty part: the second lane wants Red, and there is no Red in the front row, none in the row behind it, none anywhere you can reach. The Reds are buried near the top right of the tray. That lane stays frozen for most of the level, and the board is built around you accepting that.
The Trap in Marble Sort Level 26
The design leans on two pieces of bait:
- The Red lane: it stares at you the whole game. Trying to dig straight toward the Reds means dumping half the tray onto the Conveyor Belt, and the belt jams long before you get there. You beat this level by clearing the other three lanes first and letting the board come to you.
- The bottom-left Orange: it looks like a free opener. There is no Orange Box active, and there won’t be for a long time. Drop it early and it’s pure dead weight on the belt. Leave it sitting until the endgame.
- The twin Tunnels: clearing the middle lanes fires them, and they dump a chaotic mix — Green, Dark Blue, Purple, Yellow, Light Blue — all at once. That’s the moment the belt is most likely to overflow.
Marble Sort Level 26 Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Order matters more than speed here. Follow the sequence.
Opening: clear three lanes, freeze the fourth

- Tap both Pink blocks in the front row. They fill the Pink Box in the third column.
- Tap the Light Blue block in the middle of the front row. It clears the Light Blue Box in the fourth column.
- Tap the Yellow block on the far right edge. That takes care of the Yellow Box in the first column.
- Do nothing with the Orange on the bottom left. It stays put.
With those clears, the second layer opens: more Light Blue, Yellow, and Purple on the flanks.
Mid-game: the Tunnels go off
- Match the newly exposed Pink and Light Blue blocks as their Boxes slide into the active row.
- Keep pulling through the center lanes until both Tunnels trigger and spill their hidden marbles.
- The belt is now crowded with Green, Dark Blue, Purple, Yellow, and Light Blue. Stay calm: drop Green and Purple only when you can see a matching Box in the front row. Never pre-drop them.
- Dig into the top right of the tray until the buried Reds surface. Drop them immediately — the second column finally clears.
Endgame: Dark Blue priority and the Orange payoff
- The spent Tunnels push Dark Blue into your path. A Dark Blue Box shows up in the third column right after a Green one clears — hit it with the Dark Blue blocks from the center as soon as it appears.
- Use the Green blocks on the left flank to open the remaining lanes.
- Now, at last, tap that Orange you ignored in the opening. The Orange Boxes near the top of the stack are finally active.
- Mop up the leftover Red and Purple blocks along the top edge to finish.

Level 26 Tips Recap
- A lane you can’t feed is a lane you ignore — build your whole plan around the other three.
- The bottom-left Orange is bait from move one. It only becomes playable near the end.
- Tunnel drops arrive in a burst. Keep belt slots open before you trigger them, or the spill ends the run.
