Nut Sort Level 36 Walkthrough
Nut Sort Level 36 is easiest when you crack the shell side just enough to build the lower-right blue and green routes first, then cash the upper red and pink traffic through the middle after the center white peg is free again. The board looks top-heavy, but the solve is really decided by how quickly the covered lower posts turn into permanent landings.
Board Notes
- Layout
- Level 36 opens with four exposed stacks across the top row: a silver stack capped by red-orange on the far left, a short orange-yellow stack on a white peg, a tall purple-pink column near the middle, and a green-yellow-blue stack on the far right. Under them sit a silver tower on the left, an empty white peg in the middle, a peach tower on the right-center, and one purple shell sleeve on the far right. The entire bottom row is mostly shell traffic again, with three more purple shell sleeves and only the blocked base on the far right.
- Goal
- The first real target is the shell side on the lower right because the board does not become playable until those covered posts turn into blue, green, and purple landing spots. The tempting red and pink matches above can wait. What matters first is creating one permanent anchor below so the center white peg is not forced to babysit every transfer.
- Opening
- The solve starts by peeling the tall purple-pink top stack and using the center white peg for a short handoff. One of the shell outputs is then converted into a real stack on the lower right, and only after that do the red-orange and yellow pieces start to move more freely across the top half. The peach tower stays parked during this setup instead of being spent as emergency space.
- Danger Zone
- The dangerous moment comes in the middle of the run when the shell pieces and the peach side both want the same center white peg. If purple or pink is still sitting on that peg before the lower-right blue route is formed, the yellow and red pieces lose their return lane and the board clogs immediately.
- Mechanics
- Level 36 is a shell-release puzzle where the lower row begins as dead weight and has to be transformed into useful anchors. The hard part is not matching the top colors quickly. The hard part is deciding when the shell row is ready to stop acting like temporary storage.
Quick Tips for Nut Sort Level 36 (spoiler-free)
- If the center white peg is still holding purple while the lower-right blue anchor is unfinished, the opening is out of order. Level 36 settles down only after the shell row starts producing permanent landings.
- With 10 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 36 — Full Solution
- Open the tall upper purple-pink stack and the nearest shell lane first so the center starts breathing.
- Use the middle white peg only as a handoff while you turn the lower-right shell output into a blue landing spot.
- Leave the peach tower intact while red and pink are still cycling above it.
- Once blue and green own the right side, finish the silver and red routes through the reopened middle.
- Clean up the remaining yellow and purple pieces only after the shell row has become real stacks instead of temporary cover.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I build first in Nut Sort Level 36?
Build the lower-right shell output into a real blue landing spot first. Once that anchor exists, the center white peg is free to recycle the upper red and pink traffic.
