Marble Sort Level 5 Walkthrough & Solution
Level 5 Board Overview: The Green Drought Pyramid

Level 5 is the first board that lies to you. The Top Tray is stacked like a stepped pyramid: four colored blocks up front, six gray Mystery Boxes looming behind and above them. The colors in play are Green, Yellow, Purple, and Light Blue, with Pink and Dark Purple hiding at the peak for the finale.
The front row reads left to right: Purple, Green, Yellow, Green. Now look at the bottom Boxes. The four columns are asking for Green, Light Blue, Green, Green.
Do that math before you tap anything. Three Green Boxes are waiting, and only two Green blocks exist on the visible board. The third Green is buried in the pyramid, and this whole level is about digging it out without choking your Conveyor Belt.
The Trap in Marble Sort Level 5
The bait here is whatever looks free:
- Far-left column: Purple up front. No Purple Box is open anywhere. Tap it and those marbles just camp on the belt.
- Second column: Green. One of your two lifelines.
- Third column: Yellow. Same story as Purple — zero Yellow Boxes are showing, so it is pure decoration right now.
- Far-right column: Green. Your second lifeline.
Behind this row, the Mystery Box pyramid hides everything that matters: the missing third Green, extra Light Blue, and eventually the Pink and Dark Purple peak. You cannot reach any of it until the two Greens are spent, and you cannot afford to spend anything else first. Every bait block you drop eats belt space you will desperately need mid-dig.
Marble Sort Level 5 Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Opening: spend your two Greens and stop

- Tap the Green block second from the left. It drops and feeds the waiting Green Boxes.
- Tap the far-right Green block. Same result.
- Freeze. Do not touch the Purple on the left or the Yellow in the middle.
- The two cleared Greens knock out the front blockers, and the Mystery Boxes directly behind them flip over.
- You are hunting a third Green or a Light Blue in those reveals. If a Green shows, drop it immediately — that finishes the front Green wall and cracks the board open.
Mid-game: the pyramid hollows out
- With the Green wall gone, the bottom columns raise their second layers: Light Blue, Yellow, and more Green.
- Feed Light Blue into the second column’s Box — it has been waiting since the start.
- Once a Yellow Box is actually showing, finally release the Yellow bait block from the front row.
- Hold the far-left Purple until a Purple Box is fully open, then drop it. This clears the last front-row blocker and strips the lower Mystery Boxes.
- The middle columns tend to alternate Light Blue and Yellow. Drop these in pairs whenever you can so no single marble gets stranded on the belt.
Cleanup: the peak colors
- The last Mystery Boxes fade and expose Pink and Dark Purple at the very top of the pyramid.
- Clear whatever Light Blue and Yellow Boxes still block the deep back rows.
- Drop the Pink and Dark Purple into their back-row Boxes. Your belt should be nearly empty now, so these final colors ride home safely.

Level 5 Tips Recap
- Count before you tap: three Green Boxes wanted, two Greens visible — the third is buried, plan around that.
- A front-row block with no open Box is bait, not progress. Purple and Yellow wait their turn.
- Never drop a color whose matching Box is still buried two layers deep.
