Nut Sort Level 45 Walkthrough
Nut Sort Level 45 is safest when you open the upper-right peach tower first, lock yellow into the lower middle soon after, and make sure the center white peg is free again before black starts rotating through it. The level becomes much easier once the shell grid is cracked in a planned order instead of all at once.
Board Notes
- Layout
- Level 45 opens as the most shell-heavy board in this batch: three purple shell columns across the upper left, a peach-white tower on the upper right, two dark black-heavy stacks in the middle row, another purple shell on the right middle, and two more purple shell columns sitting along the lower left. The only live utility pieces at the bottom are a yellow-topped white peg in the lower middle and one empty lower-right slot.
- Goal
- The first target is the peach-white tower on the upper right because it is the cleanest way to start cracking the shell grid without spending the lower yellow peg. Once that right side is opened, the board can establish yellow below and begin turning the black center into separate return lanes instead of one crowded block.
- Opening
- The solve begins by extending the upper-right peach tower and using that side to peel one shell free from the right half. Yellow is then parked as a real lower anchor, not as temporary storage, while the black center and the first opened shell are rotated into the middle row. Only after that structure exists do the pink-blue and red pieces start spilling across the top.
- Danger Zone
- The messy point comes when a shell is left on the center white peg while yellow is still being asked to move again. That steals the square the third transfer needs, and the black center stack has no clean place to unwind when the board finally changes from shell traffic into normal color cleanup.
- Mechanics
- Level 45 is a sequencing puzzle disguised as a shell puzzle. The early shell breaks matter, but the real challenge is choosing an opening where the peach release, the yellow anchor, and the black center split all happen in a compatible order.
Quick Tips for Nut Sort Level 45 (spoiler-free)
- If the lower yellow peg gets reused before black has been split, Level 45 usually snowballs immediately. The opening only works when yellow becomes a fixed anchor instead of a convenience spot.
- 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 45 — Full Solution
- Use the upper-right peach tower to start the first shell release instead of spending the lower yellow peg immediately.
- Park yellow in the lower middle as an anchor once that route is available, and keep it dedicated to yellow afterward.
- Rotate one opened shell and the black center traffic through the middle while the center white peg is still a short shuttle.
- Do not leave a shell sitting on the center white peg when the next transfer still needs that square.
- Finish the normal color cleanup only after the shell grid has already been thinned into clear red, blue, pink, green, and black routes.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

- Leaving an opened shell on the center white peg when the next transfer still needs that square.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I open first in Nut Sort Level 45?
Start with the upper-right peach tower. It cracks the shell grid without wasting the lower yellow peg, which needs to become a fixed anchor soon after.
