Nut Sort level guide
Nut Sort Level 23 Walkthrough
Nut Sort Level 23 clears fastest when you lock the lower-middle yellow peg first and then open the shell columns around the untouched silver reserve. The board stays clean only if pink uses the center white peg briefly and never overlaps with the shell transfer coming out of the upper middle.
Board Notes
- Layout
- Level 23 mixes one silver-white finished-looking tower on the upper left with three shell-heavy columns across the rest of the top row. The middle row starts with more shell pieces, a red-orange blocker lying across the center, and a blue-yellow tower on the right. Below them are one empty white peg, a live yellow peg in the lower middle, and one empty slot on the lower right.
- Goal
- The first important target is the lower-middle yellow anchor. That anchor has to be respected early because the shell columns on the top and middle left need the white peg for staging, and the board works only if yellow already has its own finished lane.
- Opening
- The solve begins by feeding the lower-middle yellow peg while the red-orange blocker is lifted out of the center. Then the upper-left silver tower is left alone while one shell column is opened and the right-side blue tower is thinned enough to create a safe shuttle for pink.
- Danger Zone
- The worst jam happens when the center white peg is still holding pink while the shell stack on the upper middle also wants to empty. At that point yellow is safe but the board has no second shuttle, so red-orange and blue begin blocking each other in the middle row.
- Mechanics
- Level 23 is a staged shell puzzle with one stable silver reserve. The silver stack is not the problem; the problem is sequencing the shell openings so the white peg and the live yellow peg are never forced to do the same job.
Quick Tips for Nut Sort Level 23 (spoiler-free)
- The silver stack on the upper left looks tempting to break because it is clean, but it is stronger as a reserve. In Level 23, touching that side too early usually creates more traffic than it solves.
- With 9 colors in play, clear the pair with the fewest blockers first so the board opens up instead of tightening.
- Think in chain clears. The best move is the one that sets up the next two moves, not just the quickest current match.
How to Solve Nut Sort Level 23 — Full Solution
- Feed the lower-middle yellow peg before you start dismantling the shell-heavy top row.
- Pull the red-orange blocker out of the center so the white peg becomes a true shuttle.
- Leave the upper-left silver reserve intact while you open one shell column at a time.
- Let pink borrow the white peg only briefly, after the right-side blue tower already has room to settle.
- Finish red-orange and blue late, once the shell traffic no longer depends on the same center lane.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Breaking the clean silver reserve on the upper left just to gain temporary space.
- Letting pink sit on the center white peg while the upper-middle shell stack still needs the same shuttle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I touch the silver stack first in Nut Sort Level 23?
No. The upper-left silver stack is more useful as a reserve while you feed yellow below and open the shell columns around it.
