Nut Sort Level 40 Walkthrough
Nut Sort Level 40 works best when you treat the lower-right peg as a purple shuttle, keep the lower-left silver reserve alive through the opening, and let the top row settle before the red-orange middle is closed. This board is won by preserving lower-lane jobs, not by taking the first available match.
Board Notes
- Layout
- Level 40 opens with four compact mixed stacks across the top, capped by white, green, black, and pink. A second full row beneath them carries purple, peach, yellow, and blue traffic. The bottom row is the important part: a tall silver reserve already stands on the lower left, a red-orange stack sits on a white peg in the middle, one lower white peg is still empty, and the far-right base is blocked.
- Goal
- The real target is the pair of lower pegs. The empty right peg has to become a short purple shuttle while the left silver reserve stays intact long enough for the top row to settle into blue, silver, yellow, and green anchors. If the lower structure is spent too early, black and peach have nowhere clean to return.
- Opening
- The solve starts by parking purple on the lower-right white peg and lifting black out of the crowded top row. That lets blue and silver stabilize above while the red-orange center remains temporary instead of finished. Only after the top side has real anchors does the left silver reserve start getting spent.
- Danger Zone
- The board locks when the orange-red center is committed too early or the lower-left silver reserve is broken before green is ready. Then black, peach, and purple all need the same middle corridor and the setup move that was supposed to open the board becomes the move that seals it.
- Mechanics
- Level 40 is a genuine setup puzzle. Nothing is hidden behind shells. The difficulty comes from giving the two lower pegs separate jobs and protecting those jobs until the upper half is stable enough to clean itself.
Quick Tips for Nut Sort Level 40 (spoiler-free)
- If the lower-left silver reserve disappears before green is already stable, the setup is too loose. Level 40 gets easier when each lower peg keeps one clear job through the opening.
- With 11 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 40 — Full Solution
- Use the empty lower-right peg as a purple shuttle before you try to finish the red-orange middle.
- Lift black and blue out of the upper traffic while the lower-left silver reserve still stays intact.
- Build the top-side anchors first so silver, yellow, and green no longer need the same return lane.
- Spend the lower-left silver reserve only after the center has stopped asking it to rescue black and peach.
- Finish the red-orange and purple cleanup at the end, once the lower pegs no longer need to serve two jobs each.
Colors in this level:

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Finishing the red-orange middle before the lower-right peg has done its job as the purple shuttle.
- Breaking the lower-left silver reserve before green and the other top-side anchors are already stable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I keep the lower-left silver reserve intact in Nut Sort Level 40?
Because black and peach still need that lower structure while the top row is settling. If the silver reserve disappears too early, the middle corridor loses its safest recovery lane.
